V1 x M1 x n2 = V2 x M2 x n1

30 x M1 x 1 = 25 x 0.1 x 1 M1 = 25 x 0.1 x 1 / (30 x 1)

= 0.083 mol l-1

Concentration of ethanoic acid in the diluted vinegar = 0.083 mol l-1

The vinegar was originally diluted from 25 cm3 to 250 cm3 with water, i.e. a tenfold dilution.

Concentration of ethanoic acid in the vinegar = 10 x 0.083 mol l-1 = 0.83 M

22.5 x M1 x 1 = 25 x 0.108 x 1 M1 = 25 x 0.108 x 1 / (22.5 x 1)

= 0.12 mol l-1

Concentration of HX solution = 0.12 mol l-1

b) 0.12 moles has a mass of 11.64 g

1 mole has a mass of 11.64/0.12 g = 97 g

The molar mass of HX is 97 g mol-1

Concentration of the sodium carbonate solution = 0.045 mol l-1

(b) Molar mass of Na2CO3.xH2O = 46 + 12 + 48 + 18x = 106 + 18x

Concentration of sodium carbonate in mol l-1 = 0.045

Concentration of sodium carbonate in g l-1 = 3.15 X 4 = 12.6

Mass of 0.045 moles of Na2CO3.xH2O = 12.6 g

Molar mass of Na2CO3.xH2O = 12.6 / 0.045 g mol-1

= 280 g mol-1

106 + 18x = 280

18x = 174

x = 9.7

H2SO4(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) ( Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

Answer:

(a) In the titration, 25 cm3 of 0.1 M NaOH solution were used.

1,000 cm3 of 0.1 M NaOH solution contains 0.1 moles.

25 cm3 of 0.1 M NaOH solution contains 0.1 X 25 / 1,000 moles

= 0.0025 moles

(b) The equation for the reaction is

H2SO4(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) ( Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l)

One mole of H2SO4 reacts with two moles of NaOH.

0.0025/2 moles = 0.00125 moles of H2SO4 react with 0.0025 moles of NaOH.

The number of moles of sulfuric acid consumed is 0.00125 moles.

(c) In 28 cm3 of the H2SO4 solution there are 0.00125 moles of H2SO4

In 1,000 cm3 of the H2SO4 solution there are

0.00125 X 1,000 / 28 moles = 0.045 moles

Concentration of the H2SO4 solution = 0.045 mol l-1

Question 60

Sodium hydrogencarbonate solution reacts with hydrochloric acid solution according to the equation

HCl(aq) + NaHCO3(aq) ( NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

It was found that 25 cm3 of a solution containing 8.4 g l-1 reacted with 27 cm3 of a solution of hydrochloric acid. Calculate the concentration of the hydrochloric acid solution in (a) mol l-1 (b) g l-1.

Answer:

(a)

Concentration of sodium hydrogencarbonate solution = 8.4 g l-1 = 8.4 / 84 mol l-1 = 0.1 mol l-1

V1 x M1 x n2 = V2 x M2 x n1

27 x M1 x 1 = 25 x 0.1 x 1 M1 = 25 x 0.1 x 1 / (27 x 1)

= 0.093 mol l-1

(b) Concentration of hydrochloric acid solution = 0.093 mol l-1 = 0.093 x 36.5 mol l-1

= 3.39 g l-1
