Show complete solution of the following problems: 1.Calculate the mass of NaOH required to prepare 0.097 M concentration at 250 ml solution. 2. Calculate the mass of KHP used to standardize 0.097 M of NaOH using the indicator phenolphthalein where the volume of NaOH is 50.1 mL
In Part A, the mass of KHC,H,O, is measured to the nearest 0.0001 g. However, the volume of water used to dissolve the KHP does not need to be precise. Explain why the amount of water added to KHP has no effect on the experimental results.
IDENTIFY IF THE GIVEN STATEMENTS ARE TRUE OR FALSE In the assay of sodium bicarbonate, three moles of the titrant react to 2 moles of the analyte. One milliliter of 1N sulfuric acid is equivalent to 84.01 grams or 1 mEq of sodium bicarbonate. A weak acid when titrated with a weak alkali will give a sharp endpoint. When a weak acid is titrated with a strong alkali, methyl red is used as an indicator. To have a balanced equation in the assay of sodium bicarbonate, the titrant should have a coefficient of one and the sulfate salt of sodium produced should have a coefficient of three. The standard acid solutions used in acidimetry and alkalimetry are usually prepared from HCl or H2SO4. When a weak alkali is titrated with strong acid, the indicator used is methyl red.4 Sodium bicarbonate is considered as the primary standard in its own assay. When a strong alkali is titrated with a strong acid, phenolphthalein may…
The liquids to be studied in this experiment are water and aqueous solutions of CTAB. CTAB solutions should be measured at concentrations of 10-5, 10 - 4, 3x 10-4, 8 x10-4, 2 x10-34 x 10-3 M and 10-2 M. Prepare a table with the calculated mass of CTAB required to make up the two most concentrated solutions and a separate table with the mass of concentrated solution required to prepare the dilute solutions. (Assume that you are using, 1000 ml volumetric flasks for the most dilute solutions and 500 ml volumetric flasks for the remainder)
