Question

You are given a solution of HCOOH (formic acid) with an approximate concentration of 0.20 M and you will titrate this with a 0.1105 M NaOH. If you add 20.00 mL of HCOOH to the beaker before titrating, approximately what volume of NaOH will be required to reach the end point?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{36 mL}}$

Explanation:

1. Write the balanced chemical equation.

$\rm HCOOH + NaOH \longrightarrow HCOONa + H _{2} O$

2. Calculate the moles of HCOOH

$\text{Moles of HCOOH} =\text{20.00 mL HCOOH } \times \dfrac{\text{0.20 mmol HCOOHl}}{\text{1 mL HCOOH}} = \text{4.00 mmol HCOOH}$

3. Calculate the moles of NaOH.

$\text{Moles of NaOH = 4.00 mmol HCOOH } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol NaOH} }{\text{1 mmol HCOOH}} = \text{4.00 mmol NaOH}$

4. Calculate the volume of NaOH

$c = \text{4.00 mmol NaOH } \times \dfrac{\text{1 mL NaOH }}{\text{0.1105 mmol NaOH }} = \textbf{36 mL NaOH }\\\\\text{The titration will require }\boxed{\textbf{36 mL of NaOH}}$
