Key Questions: |
- A sample of vinegar contains 0.1 mol/dm3 ethanoic acid. What is its concentration in g/dm3? (The relative formula mass, Mr, of ethanoic acid is 60)
- concentration in g/dm3 = concentration in g/dm3 ? Mr
concentration = 0.1 ? 60 = 6 g/dm3
Answer
6 g/dm3
- 25 cm3 of dilute hydrochloric acid is neutralised by 20 cm3 of 0.5 mol/dm3 sodium hydroxide. What is the concentration of the hydrochloric acid?
- Step 1: Convert volumes to dm3
25 cm3 of HCl = 25 /1000 = 0.025 dm3
20 cm3 of NaOH = 20 / 1000 = 0.020 dm3
Step 2: Determine the number of moles of sodium hydroxide
moles of NaOH = concentration ? volume
moles of NaOH = 0.5 x 0.020 = 0.010 mol
Step 3: Work out the number of moles of acid using the balanced equation
HCl(aq) NaOH(aq) ? NaCl(aq) H2O(l)
In this reaction, one mole of HCl reacts with one mole of NaOH. This is a 1:1 ratio.
Therefore, in our titration, 0.010 mol of NaOH must neutralise 0.010 mol of HCl.
Step 4: Calculate the concentration of the acid
concentration of HCl = number of moles / volume
concentration of HCl = 0.010 / 0.025 = 0.4 mol/dm3
Answer
The concentration of the HCl is 0.4 mol/dm3.
