Solution

The correct option is D 4.0M
The acid solution is titration to neutralized.
Hence, at the equivalence point,
Moles of OH ions = Moles of H+ ions. (1)
1 mole of Ba(OH)2 gives 2 moles of OH
Moles of OH=2× Moles of Ba(OH)2
Moles of OH=2×[Molarity×VolumeofBa(OH)2]
Moles of OH=0.05(2)
Moles of H+ ion =Moles of HNO3
Moles of H+ ion =Concentration×Volume of HNO3
Moles of H+ ion =Concentration×12.5×103
From (1) and (2),
0.05= (Concentration of acid) ×12.5×103
Concentration of acid =4.0 M
