A chemistry student weighs out 0.104 g of sulfurous acid, a diprotic acid, into a 250.0 mL volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark with distilled water. He plans to titrate the acid with 0.0700 M NaOH solution. Calculate the volume of NaOH solution the student will need to add to reach the final equivalence point. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer: The volume of NaOH needed is 36.2 mL

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$

Given mass of sulfurous acid = 0.104 g

Molar mass of sulfurous acid = 82 g/mol

Volume of solution = 250 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of sulfurous acid}=\frac{0.104\times 1000}{82\times 250}\\\\\text{Molarity of sulfurous acid}=5.07\times 10^{-3}M$

To calculate the volume of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $H_2SO_3$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=2\\M_1=5.07\times 10^{-3}M\\V_1=250mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.0700M\\V_2=?mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$2\times 5.07\times 10^{-3}\times 250.0=1\times 0.0700\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{2\times 5.07\times 10^{-3}\times 250}{1\times 0.0700}=36.2mL$

Hence, the volume of NaOH needed is 36.2 mL

A scientist wants to make a solution of tribasic sodium phosphate, Na3PO4, for a laboratory experiment. How many grams of Na3PO4

Harman [31]

Na₃PO₄ -----> 3Na(+) + PO₄(3-)
y-y.......................3y...........y

3y = 1.2
y = 0,4M

Na₃PO₄ -----> 3Na(+) + PO₄(3-)
0,4-0,4..............1,2..........0,4
0.........................1,2..........0,4

C = n/V
n = C×V
n = 0,4×0,65L
n = 0,26 mol Na₃PO₄

mNa₃PO₄: (23×3)+31+(16×4) = 164 g/mol

164g ----- 1 mol
Xg -------- 0,26 mol
X = 164×0,26
X = 42,64g Na₂SO₄
