Answer and see the solution →The equation for the reaction is:
In a titration, 35.0 cm³ of 0.300 mol/dm³ potassium hydroxide are used. Calculate the number of moles of sulfuric acid that will react with this amount, using the equation.
Question 4
2 marks · Easy
Answer and see the solution →Explain, using the three-step titration calculation method, how you can find the concentration of an unknown acid after titrating it with a solution of known concentration.
Question 5
3 marks · Easy
Answer and see the solution →A student has the following titration results:
Titration Volume of NaOH (cm³) Concentration of NaOH (mol/dm³) 1 22.0 0.150 2 21.5 0.150 3 (repeat) 21.7 0.150 The student used 25.0 cm³ of hydrochloric acid of unknown concentration each time. Use the results to calculate the mean number of moles of sodium hydroxide used to neutralise the acid.
