Answer:
As you can see, it takes one mole of hydrochloric acid to neutralize one mole of strong base. This means that a complete neutralization requires equal numbers of moles of the two reactants.
Even without doing any calculations, you can look at the values given to you and try to estimate the concentration of the hydrochloric acid solution relative to that of the sodium hydroxide.
You know that
10 mL
of this hydrochloric acid solution must contain the same number of moles of solute as
15 mL
of sodium hydroxide solution.
Since you have the same number of moles in a smaller volume, it follows that the hydrochloric acid solution will be more concentrated than the sodium hydroxide solution.
