You mean the molarity of the parent barium hydroxide solution........

Explanation:

We assess the following stoichiometric equation:

Ba(OH)2+2HCl(aq)BaCl2(aq)+2H2O(l).

And thus 2 equiv acid are required to neutralize each equiv barium hydroxide.

Now, concentration=moles of solutevolume of solution, i.e. C=nV, there were 0.1molL1×0.035L=3.5×103mol WITH RESPECT to hydrochloric acid.......

And, thus, by the given stoichiometry, there was an initial concentration of .......

3.5×103mol×120.025L=0.070molL1 with respect to the PARENT Ba(OH)2 solution. And I would like you to check on the solubilities of barium hydroxide to see if the question actually drew from experimental data.
