Titration sum
« on: October 07, 2009, 04:59:17 PM »
Na 2Co3(aq) + 2HCl (aq) -> 2NaCl (aq) + CO2 ( g) + H2O  (l)


1.4 g of pure anhydrous sodium carbonate  were dissolved in water and made up to a volume of 250 cm3. A 25 cm3 aliquot of this solution required 24.5 cm3 of a solution of HCl in order to neutralise it fully. Calculate the molarity if the HCl and its concentration in grams of HCl per dm3

Triple cross-post? No prior attempt to solve the problem? Borek will have your ass for breakfast.

cant you answer?


this is how far i have got moles = mass/rfm
conc. = moles/volume

1:2 ratio

OK, how many moles of Na2CO3 (not Na2Co3, which may be some weird alloy?) were there in your titrated mixture?

moles = mass/rfm


1.4/106 =0.0103 moles i dont know if that is right


but my teacher said to work from the end ofthe question to the front?

Shanker, you should've been here long enough by now to know the rules. And unless your homework should've been finished half an hour ago, a few minutes won't make a difference.

Anyway, you're going in the right direction. 1.4 g / 106 g/mole = 13.21 mmoles. That's the amount of sodium carbonate in 250 ml. How many moles are there then in 25 ml, and how many moles of HCl will you need for neutralisation?

Edit: And Jesus f&#$, stop posting this on other forums already, will you.

is this right?


in 25ml there are 1.321 moles


because it is 1:2 you multiply 1.321 by 2 so there are 2.642 moles of Hcl??

That's correct. Next step is to calculate the molarity of the HCl solution, and from that the concentration in g/dm^3.

No, 13.21 mmol / 10 is not 1.321 mol. Careful with your notation. The application of the balanced equations is correct though, so far as it goes.
