1) 25.0cm^3 of a sodium carbonate solution was titrated against a 1.0 M hydrochloric acid for complete neutralization. Methyl orange is used as the indicator for the titration. The following shows the results of titration.
Titration 1: initial reading = 0.1cm^3 , final reading = 18.5cm^3
Titration 2: initial reading = 18.5cm^3 , final reading = 36.0cm^3
Titration 3: initial reading = 0.2cm^3 , final reading = 17.6cm^3
Titration 4: initial reading = 17.6cm^3 , final reading = 35.1cm^3
(The reading is the burette reading)
(Data in titration 1 is NOT necessary for question(b) below)
a) State the colour change at the end point of titration.
b) Calculate the average volume of the given hydrochloric acid required for neutralization in cm^3.
c) Write a chemical equation for the reaction.
d) Calculate the molarity of the sodium carbonate solution.
e) Calculate the concentration of the sodium carbonate solution in g/dm^3.
2) 19.76g of an impure sample of anhydrous sodium carbonate is dissolved in water. The solution is made up to 250.0 cm^3 of the solution is titrated by 1.50 M of hydrochloric acid and methyl orange is used as the indicator. The results are shown in the following.
Titration 1: initial reading = 0.2cm^3 , final reading = 22.6cm^3
Titration 2: initial reading = 22.6cm^3 , final reading = 44.2cm^3
Titration 3: initial reading = 0.1cm^3 , final reading = 21.6cm^3
Titration 4: initial reading = 21.6cm^3 , final reading = 43.0cm^3
a) State the colour change at the end point of titration.
b) Calculate the average volume of the given hydrochloric acid required for neutralization in cm^3.
c) Calculate the percentage purity of anhydrous sodium carbonate in the sample.
(Assume that the impurity of sodium carbonate has no reaction with hydrochloric acid.)
