A 0.500-g sample containing Na2CO3 plus inert matter is analyzed by adding 50.0 mL of 0.100 M HCl, a slight excess, boiling to r

emove CO2, and then back-titrating the excess acid with 0.100 M NaOH. If 5.6 mL NaOH is required for the back-titration, what is the percent Na2CO3 in the sample?

The percentage by mass of Na2CO3 in the sample is 48%.

The equation of the reaction of Na2CO3 with HCl;

Na2CO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq) ------> 2NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Since the HCl is in excess, the excess is back titrated with NaOH as follows;

NaOH (aq) + HCl(aq) ---->NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Number of moles of HCl added =  0.100 M × 50/1000 L = 0.005 moles

Number of moles of NaOH added = 5.6/1000 ×  0.100 M = 0.00056 moles

Since the reaction of NaOH and NaOH is 1:1, 0.00056 moles of HCl reacted with excess HCl.

Amount of HCl that reacted with Na2CO3 =  0.005 moles -  0.00056 moles = 0.0044 moles

Now;

1 mole of Na2CO3 reacts with 2 moles of HCl

x moles of Na2CO3 reacts with 0.0044 moles of HCl

x = 1 mole × 0.0044 moles / 2 moles

x = 0.0022 moles

Mass of Na2CO3 reacted = 0.0022 moles × 106 g/mol = 0.24 g

Percentage of Na2CO3  in the sample = 0.24 g/ 0.500-g × 100/1 = 48%

Which statement is always true of the cathode in an electrochemical cell? Reduction occurs here. It is considered the "negative"
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

It Is Considered The "negative" Electrode

Explanation:

An electrochemical cell is an electrolytic cell that drives a non-spontaneous redox reaction through the application of electrical energy. This cell is used to decompose chemical compounds, in a process called electrolysis. An electrode at which reduction take place is called the cathode. In reduction, electrons travel toward the site of reduction such that the negative charge is on the cathode.

dexar [7]

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

-log(1.0x10^-5) = pH

pH + pOH = 14 (rearrange it)

OH- = 10^-pOH = 1.0 x 10^-9
