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 HCl containing 7.30g dm\(^{-3}\), B is a solution of X\(_2\)CO\(_{3}\) containing 10.6 gdm\(^{-3}\)
(i) Put A into your burette and titrate readings against 20.0 cm\(^3\) or 25.0cm\(^3\) portions of B using methyl orange as indicator. Tabulate your burette reading and calculate the average volume of A used. The equation for the reaction involved in the titration is ;
X\(_2\)CO\(_{3(aq)}\) + 2HCl\(_{(aq)}\) \(\to\) 2XCl\(_{(aq)}\) + H\(_2\)O\(_{(l)}\) + CO\(_{2(g)}\)
(ii) From your results and the information provided above, calculate the (i) concentration or A in mol dm\(^{3-}\)
