Answer:
[HF]₀ = 0.125M
Explanation:
NaOH + HF => NaF + H₂O
Adding 20ml of 0.200M NaOH into 25ml of HF solution neutralizes 0.004 mole of HF leaving 0.004 mole NaF in 0.045L with 0.001M H⁺ at pH = 3. This is 0.089M NaF and 0.001M HF remaining.
=> 45ml of solution with pH = 3 and contains 0.089M NaF from titration becomes a common ion problem.
HF ⇄ H⁺ + F⁻
C(eq) [HF] 10⁻³M 0.089M (<= soln after adding 20ml 0.200M NaOH)
Ka = [H⁺][F⁻]/[HF]₀ => [HF]₀ = [H⁺][F⁻]/Ka
[HF]₀ = (0.001)(0.089)/(7.1 x 10⁻⁴) M = 0.125M

Answer:
0.05263158 atm
Explanation: mmHg to Atmosphere Conversion Example. Task: Convert 975 mmHg to atmospheres (show work) Formula: mmHg ÷ 760 = atm Calculations: 975 mmHg ÷ 760 = 1.28289474 atm Result: 975 mmHg is equal to 1.28289474 atm. This is an example for how i got the answer.
Answer and Explanation:
Aspirin is odorless, but when left exposed to air in the environment, it gradually hydrolyzes into salicylic acid and acetic acid as that is the precursor for synthesizing Aspirin.
Using this hydrolyzed aspirin for titration would not be advised, because it would affect the reading of the titration. Ordinarily, apsirin is a weak acid and direct titration of aspirin is problematic because it hydrolyzes pretty fast to salicylic acid— leading to an unwanted side reaction which may or may not go to completion. Therefore, excess base must be added and heat is supplied to the mixture so that neutralization and hydrolysis are complete. The remaining base is then titrated. This is called back titration.
Now, in back titration, instead of using solution whose concentration is expected to be known, we rather use excess volume of reactant which has been left over after the completion of a reaction with the analyte.
In this case, we use an alkali, preferably NaOH (1.0 mol/dm³). Te unused NaOH remaining after the hydrolysis is titrated against a standard HCl (0.1 mol/dm³). Then from the reaction equation of the aspirin and sodium hydroxide, the amount of NaOH required for the hydrolysis can be calculated.
Answering whether the titration goes up or down, it would be observed that the titration reading would GO DOWN because the exposed aspirin used has experienced some form of hydrolysis before it was used for titration, so the hydrolysis reaction it would undergo with acetyl-salicylic acid would be minimal, and this would affect the titration reading.
But if the aspirin wasn't left exposed to the environment, the reading would go up since more hydrolysis would take place in this case.
