If you add a solution of NaOH to a solution of H₂CO₃, two reactions occur, one after the other. Write the chemical equations for
1 answer:
We have a solution of NaOH and H₂CO₃
First, NaOH will dissociate into Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions
The Na⁺ ion will substitute one of the Hydrogen atoms on H₂CO₃ to form NaHCO₃
The H⁺ released from the substitution will bond with the OH⁻ ion to form a water molecule
If there were to be another NaOH molecule, a similar substitution will take place, substituting the second hydrogen from H₂CO₃ as well to form Na₂CO₃

Answer:
<u><em>Volume of NaOH, aka V2 = 6.32 mL to 3 sig. fig.</em></u>
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 = = 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
<u><em>Volume of NaOH, aka V2 = 6.32 mL to 3 sig. fig.</em></u>
