Indicator used is methyl orange.
Volume of pipette used is 25cm³
Tabulate.
Titration; Rough|1st|2nd|3rd|
Final burette reading cm³|23.50|23.00|23.00|33.00|
Initial burette reading cm³| 00|0.00|0.00|10.00|
Volume of acid used(cm³) |23.50|23.00|23.00|23.00|
Average volume of A used = 23.00+23.00+23.00/3 =23.00cm³
Equation for the reaction
X²Co³(aq)+2HCl(aq)—->2XCl(aq)+H²O(s)+Cl(s)
(1i)
Concentration of A in moldm³ =concentration in gldm³.
3.6g of A =500cm²
Xg of A will be = 10000³
Xg=3.65*1000/500 =36.5/5 =7.3gldm³
Molar Mass of A HCl=1+35.5=36.5
Concentration of A =7.3gldm³/36.5gldm³
=0.20moldm³
(1ii)
Concentration of B in moldm³
concentration of A in moldm³ CA=0.20
Volume of used VA=23.00
Concentration of B in moldm³ CB=?
Volume of B used VB= 25.00
CAVA/CBVB = n(A)/n(B) =2/1
0.2023.00/CB25.00=2/1
2CB25.00=0.2023.001
CB=0.20*23.00/50
Cb=46/50=0.092moldm-³
(1iii)
Molar mass of B in glmol
Concentration of B(moldm-³)= conc gldm³/molar mass
0.092=10.60gldm³/molar mass
0.092 * molar mass =10.60gldm³
Molar mass =10.60gldm³/0.092
=115.2glmd
(1iv)
Relative atomic mass of X in X²CO³
X²+12+3(16)=115.2
2x+12+48=115.2
2x+60=115.2
2x=115.2÷60
2x=55.2
x=55.2/2=276
