Help with questions 14 and 15 from the 2009 chemistry hsc exam.
(for the titration question i use c1v1=c2v2 and I'm not used to the other method.)
the link for the paper is:
http://www.boardofstudies.nsw.edu.au/hsc_exams/hsc2009exams/pdf_doc/2009-hsc-exam-chemistry.pdf
c1v1=c2v2 is used for dilution...
q14. 3H+ + OH- --> h20 Since citric acid is triprotic , its 3 times [H]+
What we know:
Concentration of NaOH: 0.550 mol L-1
Volume of titraton (NaOH): 29.50mL = 0.02950 L
Volume of solution to be titrated( citric acid) = 25.0mL = 0.025L
Molar mass of Citric Acid = 192.12g mol-1
What we need to find:
Concentration of Citric acid
How?
1. We must find the number of moles of NaOH, by C=n/v
n(NaOH) = 0.550 x 0.02950
= 0.016225 mol
3H+ + OH- = h20
n(H+..Citric acid) = 0.016225/3 {since 3H+ : 1OH-)
n(citric acid) = 0.005408333
C(citric acid) = 0.005408333/0.025 {Volume(citric acid) = 0.025L)}
= 0.216 mol L-1
Concentration in g L-1
You must multiply by molar mass of citric acid
0.216 x 192.12 = 41.56
= 41.6 g L-1 ( correct to 1.d.p)
q15
From the graph we know that at 25 degrees , only 8mg of oxygen will dissolve,
In 10 L , 8x10 = 80mg will dissolve
n(O2) = 80/32.0 n=m/M
= 2.5x10^-3
V(O2) = 2.5x10^-3 x 24.79 [Volume of 1 mole ideal gas at 100kPa at 25 degrees is 24.79 L
= 0.062L = 62.0mL
