Question

A chemistry student weighs out of hypochlorous acid into a volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark with distilled water. He plans to titrate the acid with solution. Calculate the volume of solution the student will need to add to reach the equivalence point. Round your answer to significant digits.

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of NaOH, aka V2 = 6.32 mL to 3 sig. fig.

A chemistry student weighs out 0.0941 g of hypochlorous acid (HClo) into a 250. ml. volumetric flask and dilutes to the mark with distilled water. He plans to titrate the acid with 0.2000 M NaOH solution. Calculate the volume of NaOH solution the student will need to add to reach the equivalence point. Round your answer to 3 significant digits mL.

Explanation:

1 mole HClO = 74.44g

0.0941g = $\frac{0.0941}{74.44}$ = 0.00126 moles

Concentration = no. of moles/volume in L

Hence, Concentration of HClO = 0.00126/ 0.250L

= 0.005M.

C1V1 =C2V2

0.005 × 250 mL = 0.2 × V2

Volume of NaOH, aka V2 = 6.32 mL to 3 sig. fig.
