TEST OF PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE QUESTION
All your burette readings (initial and final), as well as the size of your pipette, must be recorded but no account of experimental procedure is required. All calculations must be done in your answer book.
A is a solution of H\(_2\)SO\(_4\) containing 4.9 gdm-3, B is a solution containing X g dm\(^{-3}\) of Na\(_2\)CO\(_3\).
(a) Put A into the burette and titrate it against 20.0 cm\(^3\) or 25.0 cm\(^3\) portions of B using methyl orange as an indicator. Record the volume of your pipette. Tabulate your burette readings and calculate the average volume of A used. The equation for the reaction involved in the titration is; H\(_2\)SO\(_{4(aq)}\) + Na\(_2\)CO\(_{3(aq)}\) \(\to\) Na\(_{2}\)SO\(_{4(aq)}\) + H\(_2\)O\(_{(l)}\) + CO\(_{2(g)}\)
(b) From your results and information provided above, calculate the:
(i) Concentration of A In mol dm\(^{-3}\)
(ii) concentration of B in mol dm\(^{-3}\)
(iii) mass of salt formed when 500 cm\(^3\) of B is Completely neutralized by A.
(v) volume of carbon (IV) oxide liberated in (b) (ii) above at s.t.p. [O = 16, Na = 23, S = 32, 1 mole or a gas occupies 22.4 dm\(^3\) at s.t.p.]
