Question
  1. How many mL of 0.098 M HCl is required to completely react with 30.0 mL of 0.150 M K2CO3 solution according to the equation below? What is the molarity of KCl solution formed?                                   

2HCl(aq) + K2CO3(aq) ⟶ 2KCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Expert Solution
Step 1

It is given that 30.0 mL of 0.150 M K2CO3 is reacting completely with 0.098 M of HCl and the reaction is shown below,

2HCl(aq) + K2CO3(aq)  2KCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Step 2

To calculate the moles of K2CO3 present,

no. of moles = molarity × volume in litresmoles of K2CO3= 0.150 M × 0.030 L = 0.0045 moles

Step 3

To calculate the moles of HCl present with the help of the balanced equation,

In the balanced reaction as 1 mole of K2CO3 is reacting with 2 moles of HCl,therefore, 0.0045 moles of K2CO3 will react with 2×0.0045 = 0.009 moles of HCl.
