1. a sample of sodium hydroxide, NaOH, is known to have become contaminated with sodium carbonate, Na2Co3, by reaction with CO2 in the air. A 1.00g sample is titrated with 0.500M HCI, and it is found that 46.5 ml of HCI are required for neutralization. Calculate the percentage by mass of Na2CO3 in the sample. ( Hint: Let mass of Na2CO3 = xg)
2.There are some titrations in which the endpoint is obtained by measuring the electrical conductivity of the solution and watching for the point at which the conductivity is at a minimum. Such a titration is called an electrometric titration. An example is the reaction of Ba(OH)2 solution with sulfuric acid, H2SO4 .Write the net ionic equation for the reaction (remembering the solubility table!), then explain why the conductivity reaches a minimum.
Thanks!
