TEST OF PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE QUESTION

Burette readings (initial and final) must be given to two decimal places. Volume or pipete used must also be recorded but no account of experimental procedure is required. All calculations must be done in your answer book.

A is a solution containing 12.0g dm\(^{-3}\) NaHSO\(_4\) NaHSO\(_4\) P is a solution containing NaOH

(a) Put A into the burette and titrate it against 20.0cm\(^3\) or 25.0m\(^3\) portions of B using methyl orange as an indicator. Repeat the titration to obtain consistent titres. Tabulate your readings and calculate the average volume A used. The equation for the reaction involved in the titration is ;

NaHSO\(_{4(aq)}\) + NaOH\(_{(aq)}\) \(\to\)  Na\(_2\)SO\(_{4(aq)}\) + H\(_2\)O\(_{(l)}\)

[H 1.00, O = 16.0; Na = 23.0, S = 32.0]

(b) From your results and the information provided above calculate the:

(i) concentration of A in mol dm\(^{-3}\) 

(ii) concentration of B in mol dm\(^{-3}\)

(iii) mass of Na\(^+\) formed in solution during the titration.
