TEST OF PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE QUESTION

Burette reading (initial and final) must be given to two decimal places. Volume of pipette used must be recorded but no account of experimental procedure is required. All calculations must be done in you answer book.

A is a solution containing 6.3 g dm\(^{-3}\) of HNO\(_3\), B is a solution Na\(_2\)CO\(_3\)

(a) Put A Into the burette and titrate it against 20.0 cm\(^3\) portions of B using menyl Indicator. Record the volume of your pipette. Repeat the titration to obtain consistent titres. Tabulate your burette readings and calculate the average volume of A used. The equation for the reaction involved in the titration is:

2HNO\(_{3(aq)}\) + Na\(_2\)CO\(_{3(aq)}\) \(\to\) 2NaNO\(_{3(aq)}\) + CO\(_{2(g)}\)

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

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

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

(iii) mass of sodium ions in 1:0 dm\(^{-3}\) of B

[H = 1; C = 1; O = 16; N = 14; Na = 23]
