Answer

There are necessary 28.8 mL of that $0.100M$ $HCl$ solution to neutralize that sample of this $RbOH$ solution.

Work Step by Step

At the equivalence point, the $RbOH$ is completely neutralized by the added $HCl$. This neutralization reaction can be represented by this balanced equation: $RbOH(aq) + HCl(aq) -- \gt RbCl(aq) + H_2O(l)$ Therefore, to neutralizate each $RbOH$ mol, we need 1 mol of $HCl$. - The concentration of the $RbOH$ solution is equal to $0.115M$. - The concentration of the $HCl$ solution is equal to $0.100M$. Use these informations as conversion factors, to calculate the necessary volume of that $HCl$ solution to neutralize 25.0 mL of that $RbOH$ solution. $25.0mL (Soln. RbOH) \times \frac{1L}{1000mL} \times \frac{0.115 mol (RbOH)}{1L(Soln. RbOH)} \times \frac{1mol(HCl)}{1mol(RbOH)} \times \frac{1L(Soln. HCl)}{0.100mol(HCl)} \times \frac{1000mL}{1L} = 28.8mL (Soln. HCl)$
