The molecular formula is C2H3Cl3\text{C}_2\text{H}_3\text{Cl}_3. There are two structural isomers for this formula.

  • Isomer 1: 1,1,1-trichloroethane All three chlorine atoms are attached to the same carbon atom.

    Cl∣Cl−C−CH3∣Cl\begin{array}{c} \text{Cl} \\ | \\ \text{Cl} - \text{C} - \text{CH}_3 \\ | \\ \text{Cl} \end{array}
  • Isomer 2: 1,1,2-trichloroethane Two chlorine atoms are on one carbon, and one chlorine atom is on the other carbon.

    ClCl∣∣Cl−C−C−H∣∣HH\begin{array}{cc} \text{Cl} & \text{Cl} \\ | & | \\ \text{Cl} - \text{C} - \text{C} - \text{H} \\ | & | \\ \text{H} & \text{H} \end{array}

  1. Write the balanced chemical equation for the neutralization reaction.

    Sulphuric (VI) acid is H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4. Potassium hydroxide is KOH.

    H2SO4(aq)+2KOH(aq)⟶K2SO4(aq)+2H2O(l)\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4(\text{aq}) + 2\text{KOH}(\text{aq}) \longrightarrow \text{K}_2\text{SO}_4(\text{aq}) + 2\text{H}_2\text{O}(\text{l})

    From the equation, 1 mole of H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 reacts with 2 moles of KOH. So, the mole ratio nA:nB=1:2n_A:n_B = 1:2.

  2. Use the titration formula to calculate the unknown volume.

    The formula for neutralization is CAVAnB=CBVBnAC_A V_A n_B = C_B V_B n_A.
    Given:
    CA=0.6 MC_A = 0.6 \text{ M} (H2SO4\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4)
    VA=?V_A = ?
    CB=0.2 MC_B = 0.2 \text{ M} (KOH)
    VB=30 cm3V_B = 30 \text{ cm}^3
    nA=1n_A = 1
    nB=2n_B = 2

    Substitute the values into the formula:

    (0.6 M)×VA×2=(0.2 M)×(30 cm3)×1(0.6 \text{ M}) \times V_A \times 2 = (0.2 \text{ M}) \times (30 \text{ cm}^3) \times 1 1.2VA=6 cm31.2 V_A = 6 \text{ cm}^3 VA=6 cm31.2V_A = \frac{6 \text{ cm}^3}{1.2} VA=5 cm3V_A = 5 \text{ cm}^3

    The volume of 0.6M sulphuric (VI) acid solution needed is 5 cm3\boxed{\text{5 cm}^3}.

    a) NH3\text{NH}_3 (Ammonia)
    Nitrogen has 5 valence electrons (represented by dots). Each Hydrogen has 1 valence electron (represented by crosses). Nitrogen forms three single covalent bonds with three hydrogen atoms and has one lone pair of electrons.

    b) NH4+\text{NH}_4^+ (Ammonium ion)
    The ammonium ion is formed when a hydrogen ion (H+\text{H}^+) accepts the lone pair of electrons from the nitrogen in ammonia, forming a dative (coordinate) covalent bond. All four N-H bonds are equivalent once formed. The overall charge is +1.
