The balanced equation between NaOH and H₂SO₄ is as follows
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of NaOH to H₂SO₄ is 2:1
number of moles of NaOH moles reacted = molarity of NaOH x volume
number of NaOH moles = 0.08964 mol/L x 27.86 x 10⁻³ L = 2.497 x 10⁻³ mol
according to molar ratio of 2:1
2 mol of NaOH reacts with 1 mol of H₂SO₄
therefore 2.497 x 10⁻³ mol of NaOH reacts with - 1/2 x 2.497 x 10⁻³ mol of H₂SO₄
number of moles of H₂SO₄ reacted - 1.249 x 10⁻³ mol
Number of H₂SO₄ moles in 34.53 mL - 1.249 x 10⁻³ mol
number of H₂SO₄ moles in 1000 mL - 1.249 x 10⁻³ mol / 34.53 x 10⁻³ L = 0.03617 mol
molarity of H₂SO₄ is 0.03617 M
To determine the number of moles of carbon dioxide that is produced, we need to know the reaction of the process. For the reaction of HCl and sodium carbonate, the balanced chemical equation would be expressed as:
2HCl + Na2CO3 = 2NaCl + H2O + CO2
From the initial amount given of sodium carbonate and the relation of the substances from the balanced reaction, we calculate the moles of carbon dioxide as follows:
0.2 moles Na2Co3 ( 1 mol CO2 / 1 mol Na2Co3 ) = 0.2 moles CO2
Therefore, the amount in moles of carbon dioxide that is produced from 0.2 moles sodium carbonate would be 0.2 moles as well.
