Procedure for titrating an acid against a standard solution
Procedure for titrating an acid against a standard solution of NaOH. The acid-base indicator, phenolphthalein, is colorless in acidic solution but takes on a pink color in basic solution.
How would the volume of standard solution added change if that solution were Ba(OH)2(aq) instead of NaOH(aq)?

The volume of standard solution would be half the volume of NaOH(aq) solution.
Sorry for multiple picture! New to this! Thank you for any help!
| The volume of standard solution would be twice the volume of NaOH(aq) solution. |
| The volume of standard solution would not change. |
| The volume of standard solution would be 4.3 times greater than the volume of NaOH(aq) solution. |
| The volume of standard solution would be half the volume of NaOH(aq) solution. Sorry for multiple picture! New to this! Thank you for any help! |
Solution
Because it is a neutralization reaction, acid and Ba(OH)2 react to form H2O. Basicity of Ba(OH)2 is twice to that of NaOH, so millimoles produced in the solution by Ba(OH)2 will be twice as much of NaOH. So, the volume of standard solution would be half the volume of NaOH(aq) solution for the pink colouration.
So option D is correct
