Neutralization Calculator

Find acid/base volume needed for neutralization.

Calculated Output

Base volume needed (mL) 50

Formula: C_a V_a = C_b V_b (1:1 reaction)

Step-by-Step Breakdown

1. Values used:

2. Acid concentration = 0.1 mol/L

3. Acid volume = 25 mL

4. Base concentration = 0.05 mol/L

6. Acid concentration x Acid volume = 0.1 x 25 = 2.5

7. Base volume needed = (Acid concentration x Acid volume) / Base concentration = 2.5 / 0.05 = 50mL

The math behind it

At the equivalence point, moles of acid = moles of base, so base volume = acid conc × acid vol ÷ base conc.

25 mL of 0.1 M acid vs 0.05 M base → 50 mL.

Diprotic acid?

Multiply the acid side by its number of protons.
