Carbonic acid, H2CO3, has two acidic hydrogens. A solution containing an unknown concentration of carbonic acid is titrated with

potassium hydroxide. It requires 20.0 mL of 3.840 M KOH solution to titrate both acidic protons in 50.2 mL of the carbonic acid solution.
1. Write a balanced net ionic equation for the neutralization reaction. Include physical states.
2. Calculate the molarity of the carbonic acid solution.

Answer:

1) Net ionic equation :

2H^+(aq)+2OH^-(aq)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

2) 0.765 M is  the molarity of the carbonic acid solution.

Explanation:

1) In aqueous carbonic acid , carbonate ions and hydrogen ion is present.:

H_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow 2H^+(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq) ..[1]

In aqueous potassium hydroxide , potassium ions and hydroxide ion is present.:

KOH(aq)\rightarrow K^+(aq)+OH^{-}(aq) ..[2]

In aqueous potassium carbonate , potassium ions and carbonate ion is present.:

K_2CO_3(aq)\rightarrow 2K^+(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq) ..[3]

H_2CO_3(aq)+2KOH(aq)\rightarrow K_2CO_3(aq)+2H_2O(l)

From one:[1] ,[2] and [3]:

2H^+(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)+2K^+(aq)+2OH^{-}(aq)\rightarrow 2K^+(aq)+CO_3^{2-}(aq)+H_2O(l)

Cancelling common ions on both sides to get net ionic equation :

2H^+(aq)+2OH^-(aq)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

2)

To calculate the concentration of acid, 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_2CO_3

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

We are given:

n_1=2\\M_1=?\\V_1=50.0 mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=3.840 M\\V_2=20.0 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

M_1=\frac{1\times 3.840 M\times 20.0 mL}{2\times 50.2 mL}=0.765 M

0.765 M is  the molarity of the carbonic acid solution.

I choose question 1, so molarity is the concentration of a soulution expressed as the number of moles of solute by the litress of soulution. to get molarity you divide the moles of soulute by the litress of solution. soo 1 calculate the number of moles of solute present. 2 Calculate the number of litress solution present. 3. divide the number of moles of solute by the number of litress of solution
soo 1 mol of NaOH has a mass of 40.00 g, so moles of NaOH= 26.7. 1 mole divided 40.00 = 0.375. litress of solution = 650 g. im not sure why its a g i usally do it Ls so i guess its the way your teacher wants you to do it so do you know how to do that. so molarity = moles of solute and litress solution. sorry this probably didnt help i just wanted to add something that might help. im still working on this stuff myself hope this helps.

What will a balloon do to a cloth if its negatively charged
masya89 [10]

Answer:

This involves negatively charged particles (electrons) jumping to positively charged objects. When you rub the balloons against the fabric they become negatively charged. They take some of the electrons from the fabric and leave them positively charged.

Explanation:

Negative charges attract to positive charges. If a balloon is not rubbed with the wool cloth, it has an equal amount of negative to positive charges, so it will attract to a rubbed balloon. When both balloons are rubbed with the wool cloth, the both receive negative charges, so they will repel each other.
