2. In Experiment SOL, you investigated the solubility of oxalic acid. Sodium oxalate, Na2C2O¬4, is the sodium salt of this acid.

Categorize it as acidic, basic, or neutral in water. Does the salt dissolve, dissociate, or both in aqueous solutions? What about oxalic acid; does it dissolve, dissociate, or both in water? Explain.

Answer:

Sodium oxalate is a basic salt. In water it can be dissolved and dissociated.

The oxalic acid in water has two dissociations.

Explanation:

Na2C2O4 ---> 2Na+   +  C2O4-2

Sodium oxalate is the conjugate base of a weak acid. In water this salt, dissociates completely giving rise to the sodium and oxalate ions. As Na+ comes from a strong base, in water it does not produce hydrolysis while oxalate does react in water, because it takes a proton from it and it generates a basic hydrolysis releasing OH-.

C2O4-2  + H2O ⇄  HC2O4-  +  OH-

In water the salt is basic.  The pH of an aqueous solution of this salt is basic, since OH- is generated.

The HC2O4- has a second hydrolisis, it takes another proton from water to form oxalic acid.

HC2O4-  +  H2O ⇄  H2C2O4  +  OH-

The oxalic acid acts as a weak acid, it can release 2 protons to water, to make oxalate (its conjugate base).

H2C2O4  + H2O ⇄ H3O+  + HC2O4-

HC2O4-  +  H2O ⇄  H3O+  C2O4-2

The  HC2O4-  acts as an ampholyte since it accepts and delivers protons simultaneously.

What is the molarity of aqueous lithium bromide if 25.0 mL of LiBr reacts with 10.0 mL of 0.250 M Pb(NO 3) 2
bixtya [17]

The molarity of aqueous lithium bromide, LiBr solution is 0.2 M

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ in the solution.

  • Volume = 10 mL = 10 / 1000 = 0.01 L
  • Molarity of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.250 M
  • Mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ =?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.25 × 0.01

Mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ = 0.0025 mole

Next, we shall determine the mole of LiBr required to react with 0.0025 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂

Pb(NO₃)₂ + 2LiBr —> PbBr₂ + 2LiNO₃

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ reacted with 2 mole of LiBr.

Therefore,

0.0025 mole of Pb(NO₃)₂ will react with = 2 × 0.0025 = 0.005 mole of LiBr

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the LiBr solution

  • Mole = 0.005 mole
  • Volume = 25 mL = 25 / 1000 = 0.025 L
  • Molarity of LiBr =?

Molarity = mole / Volume

Molarity of LiBr = 0.005 / 0.025

Molarity of LiBr = 0.2 M
