Answer:
(A) 0.129 M
(B) 0.237 M
Explanation:
(A) The reaction between potassium hydrogen phthalate and barium hydroxide is:
- 2HA + Ba(OH)₂ → BaA₂ + 2H₂O
Where A⁻ is the respective anion of the monoprotic acid (KC₈H₄O₄⁻).
We <u>convert mass of phthalate to moles</u>, using its molar mass:
- 0.978 g ÷ 156 g/mol = 9.27x10⁻³ mol = 9.27 mmol
Now we <u>convert mmol of HA to mmol of Ba(OH)₂</u>:
- 9.27 mmol HA *
= 6.64 mmol Ba(OH)₂
Finally we calculate the molarity of the Ba(OH)₂ solution:
- 6.64 mmol / 35.8 mL = 0.129 M
(B) The reaction between Ba(OH)₂ and HCl is:
- 2HCl + Ba(OH)₂ → BaCl₂ + 2H₂O
So<u> the moles of HCl that reacted </u>are:
- 17.1 mL * 0.129 M *
= 4.41 mmol HCl
And the <u>molarity of the HCl solution is</u>:
- 4.41 mmol / 18.6 mL = 0.237 M
