Step-by-step solution

6 steps

here are the calculations for the titration problem:

Part i· 2 steps

Concentration of B in mol/dm3\text{mol/dm}^3

  1. Calculate the molar mass of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3).

    The atomic masses are Na = 23 g/mol, C = 12 g/mol, O = 16 g/mol.

    M(Na2CO3)=(2×23)+12+(3×16)=46+12+48=106 g/mol\text{M}(\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3) = (2 \times 23) + 12 + (3 \times 16) = 46 + 12 + 48 = 106 \, \text{g/mol}
  2. Calculate the concentration of solution B in mol/dm3\text{mol/dm}^3.

    Solution B contains 6.50 g6.50 \, \text{g} of Na2CO3\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 per dm3\text{dm}^3.

    Concentration of B=Mass concentrationMolar mass=6.50 g/dm3106 g/mol=0.06132 mol/dm3\text{Concentration of B} = \frac{\text{Mass concentration}}{\text{Molar mass}} = \frac{6.50 \, \text{g/dm}^3}{106 \, \text{g/mol}} = 0.06132 \, \text{mol/dm}^3

    The concentration of B is 0.0613 mol/dm3\boxed{\text{0.0613 mol/dm}^3}.

Part ii

6.50 g/dm3\text{6.50 g/dm}^3

Mass concentration of B in g/dm3\text{g/dm}^3

The problem states that solution B contains 6.50 g6.50 \, \text{g} of Na2CO3\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 per dm3\text{dm}^3.
The mass concentration of B is 6.50 g/dm3\boxed{\text{6.50 g/dm}^3}.

Part iii

6.71 g/dm3\text{6.71 g/dm}^3

Concentration of A in g/dm3\text{g/dm}^3

  1. Write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between Na2CO3\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 and H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4.

    Na2CO3(aq)+H2SO4(aq)→Na2SO4(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g)\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 (\text{aq}) + \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 (\text{aq}) \rightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4 (\text{aq}) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (\text{l}) + \text{CO}_2 (\text{g})

    From the equation, the mole ratio of Na2CO3:H2SO4\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 : \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 is 1:11:1.

  2. Calculate the concentration of solution A (H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4) in mol/dm3\text{mol/dm}^3 using the titration formula.

    Given:
    Concentration of B (CBC_B) = 0.06132 mol/dm30.06132 \, \text{mol/dm}^3
    Volume of B (VBV_B) = 25.00 cm3=0.02500 dm325.00 \, \text{cm}^3 = 0.02500 \, \text{dm}^3
    Volume of A (VAV_A) = 22.40 cm3=0.02240 dm322.40 \, \text{cm}^3 = 0.02240 \, \text{dm}^3
    Mole ratio (nA/nBn_A/n_B) = 1/11/1
    The titration formula is CAVAnA=CBVBnB\frac{C_A V_A}{n_A} = \frac{C_B V_B}{n_B}.

    CA=CBVBnAVAnB=0.06132 mol/dm3×0.02500 dm3×10.02240 dm3×1=0.0684375 mol/dm3C_A = \frac{C_B V_B n_A}{V_A n_B} = \frac{0.06132 \, \text{mol/dm}^3 \times 0.02500 \, \text{dm}^3 \times 1}{0.02240 \, \text{dm}^3 \times 1} = 0.0684375 \, \text{mol/dm}^3
  3. Calculate the molar mass of sulfuric acid (H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4).

    The atomic masses are H = 1 g/mol, S = 32 g/mol, O = 16 g/mol.

    M(H2SO4)=(2×1)+32+(4×16)=2+32+64=98 g/mol\text{M}(\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4) = (2 \times 1) + 32 + (4 \times 16) = 2 + 32 + 64 = 98 \, \text{g/mol}
  4. Convert the concentration of A from mol/dm3\text{mol/dm}^3 to g/dm3\text{g/dm}^3.

    Concentration of A (g/dm3)=Concentration of A (mol/dm3)×Molar mass of H2SO4\text{Concentration of A (g/dm}^3) = \text{Concentration of A (mol/dm}^3) \times \text{Molar mass of H}_2\text{SO}_4 Concentration of A=0.0684375 mol/dm3×98 g/mol=6.706875 g/dm3\text{Concentration of A} = 0.0684375 \, \text{mol/dm}^3 \times 98 \, \text{g/mol} = 6.706875 \, \text{g/dm}^3

    Rounding to three significant figures, the concentration of A is 6.71 g/dm3\boxed{\text{6.71 g/dm}^3}.
