Step-by-step solution

4 steps

To solve questions (iv) and (v), we need the average volume of Solution A used in the titration. Since this experimental data is not provided, I will assume an average volume of 25.0 cm325.0 \text{ cm}^3 for Solution A. This is a common titre value in such experiments.

Part iv· 2 steps

Amount in moles of ethanoic acid in the average volume of A used.

  1. Convert the assumed average volume of Solution A from cm3\text{cm}^3 to dm3\text{dm}^3.

    Volume of A=25.0 cm3=25.0×10−3 dm3=0.0250 dm3\text{Volume of A} = 25.0 \text{ cm}^3 = 25.0 \times 10^{-3} \text{ dm}^3 = 0.0250 \text{ dm}^3
  2. Calculate the moles of ethanoic acid (CH3COOH\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}) using its molarity and the converted volume.

    The molarity of Solution A is given as 0.100 mol dm−30.100 \text{ mol dm}^{-3}.

    Moles of CH3COOH=Molarity×Volume (in dm3)\text{Moles of CH}_3\text{COOH} = \text{Molarity} \times \text{Volume (in dm}^3) Moles of CH3COOH=0.100 mol dm−3×0.0250 dm3\text{Moles of CH}_3\text{COOH} = 0.100 \text{ mol dm}^{-3} \times 0.0250 \text{ dm}^3 Moles of CH3COOH=0.00250 mol\boxed{\text{Moles of CH}_3\text{COOH} = \textbf{0.00250 mol}}

Part v· 2 steps

Number of water molecules

  1. Determine the moles of water produced from the balanced chemical equation.

    The balanced equation for the reaction is:

    CH3COOH(aq)+KOH(aq)→CH3COOK(aq)+H2O(l)\text{CH}_3\text{COOH}_{(aq)} + \text{KOH}_{(aq)} \rightarrow \text{CH}_3\text{COOK}_{(aq)} + \text{H}_2\text{O}_{(l)}

    From the stoichiometry, 1 mole of CH3COOH\text{CH}_3\text{COOH} reacts to produce 1 mole of H2O\text{H}_2\text{O}.
    Therefore, the moles of water produced are equal to the moles of ethanoic acid reacted:

    Moles of H2O=0.00250 mol\text{Moles of H}_2\text{O} = 0.00250 \text{ mol}
  2. Calculate the number of water molecules using Avogadro's constant.

    Avogadro's constant (NA\text{N}_{\text{A}}) is given as 6.02×1023 molecules/mol6.02 \times 10^{23} \text{ molecules/mol}.

    Number of H2O molecules=Moles of H2O×NA\text{Number of H}_2\text{O molecules} = \text{Moles of H}_2\text{O} \times \text{N}_{\text{A}} Number of H2O molecules=0.00250 mol×6.02×1023 molecules/mol\text{Number of H}_2\text{O molecules} = 0.00250 \text{ mol} \times 6.02 \times 10^{23} \text{ molecules/mol} Number of H2O molecules=1.505×1021 molecules\text{Number of H}_2\text{O molecules} = 1.505 \times 10^{21} \text{ molecules}

    Rounding to three significant figures:

    Number of H2O molecules=1.51×1021 molecules\boxed{\text{Number of H}_2\text{O molecules} = \textbf{1.51} \times \textbf{10}^{21} \textbf{ molecules}}
