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%

Can someone please explain why Agcl is more soluble than Agbr and Agi
borishaifa [10]

t doesn't represent the concentration of AgCl dissolved in water because we assume that AgCl dissociates into Ag+ ions and Cl- ions when it dissolves in water. It can't represent the amount of solid AgCl in the system because the equilibrium is not affected by the amount of excess solid added to the system.
