Question 18

• The student prepares a 250.0 cm3 solution from 1.513 g of A.
• The solution of A is added to the burette and titrated with 25.0 cm3 volumes of 0.112 mol
  dm−3 NaOH(aq).
• 1 mol of A reacts with 2 mol of NaOH.
• The student obtains a mean titre of 27.30 cm3.
  i. Calculate the molar mass of A from these results.

Answer 18

n(NaOH) = 0.112 x 25/1000 = 0.00280
n(A) IN 25cm3 = 0.00280/2 = 0.00140
n(A) in 250cm3 = 0.00140 x 250/27.30= 0.0128
Mr(A) = 1.513/ 0.0128 = 118g mol-1

Question 19

titration

Answer 19

technique used to accurately measure the volume of one solution that reacts exactly with another

Question 20

titrations used for

Answer 20

finding concentration of a solution
identification of unknown chemicals
finding purity of a substance

Question 21

standard solution

Answer 21

solution of known concentration

Question 22

preparing a standard solution

Answer 22

1. solid is weighed and dissolved using less water than needed to fill
2. solution is transferred to a volumetric flask (last bits rinsed with distilled water)
3. flask filled to graduation line by adding water drop at a time until bottom of meniscus aligns
4. invert flask to mix the solution thoroughly

Question 23

acid- base titration procedure

Answer 23

1. add measured volume of one solution to conical flask
2. add the other solution to a burette and record initial reading to 0.05 nearest
3. add indicator to conical flask
4. run solution in whilst swirling- colour change= end point of titration
5. record final reading, difference= titre
   (trial is done to find approximate titre) then is repeated accurately until two titres are concordant

Question 24

concordant

Answer 24

within 0.10m3 of eachother
