burette reading/cm^3 | 1 |2 | 3
final reading | 39.5 | 29.80 | 19.40
initial reading | 19.55 | 10.50 | 0.0
volume of E used | 19.70 | 19.30 | 19.40
ii) Na2CO3(aq)^2HNO3(aq) — 2NaNO3(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(c)
average volume of E used = 19.70+19.30+19.40/3
=19.47cm^3
1bi)
From the information given,
nD=1, nE=2,
CD=?, CE=0.0905mol/dm^3
VD=20.0cm^3, VE=19.35cm^3
Using: CDVD/CEVE=nD/nE
CD=CEVEnD/VDnE
=(0.0905*19.35*1)/(20.0*2)
=1.751175/40
=0.04377
CD=0.0438mol/dm^3
1bii)
Since 0.04377mol is in 1000cm^3
xmol will be 350cm^3
x=0.04377*35.0/1000
=1.5322/1000
=0.00153mol/dm^3 at 25C
Hence the solubility is 0.00153mol/dm^3
1biii)
From the stoichiometry
1 mole of Na2CO3 produces 1 mole of CO2
0.00153mol of Na2CO3 produces 0.00153mole of CO2
mass=molar mass*number of mole
molar mass Na2CO3=23*2+12+16*3
=46+12+48
=106g/mol
mass of CO2=12+16*2
=12+32
=44g/mol
106g Na2CO3 produces 44g of CO2
0.0153*106 will produce y
y=0.153*106*44/106
=0.153*44
y=6.732g of CO2
Hence mass of CO2 produced is 6.732g
