Question

The questions are solving for:

You need to determine the concentration of a sulfuric acid solution by titration with a standard sodium hydroxide solution. You have a 0.1379 M standard solution. You take a 25.00 mL sample of the original acid solution and dilute it to 250.0 mL. You then take a 10.00 mL sample of the dilute acid solution and titrate it with the standard solution. You need 13.88 mL of the standard solution to reach the endpoint. What is the concentration of the original acid solution? Concentration = A 60.00 mL solution of 0.4500 M AgN03. was added to a solution of AsO43-. Ag3AsO4 precipitated and was filtered off. Fe3+ was added and the solution was titrated with 0.2400 M KSCN. After 36.90 mL of KSCN solution had been added, the solution turned red. What mass of ASO43- was in the original solution?

Explanation / Answer

Determination of H2SO4 solution concentration

H2SO4 + 2NaOH --> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

moles of NaOH used for 10 ml aliquot solution titration = molarity x volume

                                                                                       = 0.1379 M x 13.88 ml

                                                                                       = 1.914052 mmol

So,

moles of H2SO4 reacted = 1.914052/2 = 0.957026 mmol

molarity of H2SO4 in 10 ml aliquot = 0.957026 mmol/10 ml = 0.096 M

molarity of original acid solution = 0.096 M x 250 ml/25 ml = 0.96 M

--

ASO4^3- + 3AgNO3 --> Ag3AsO4 + 3NO3-

total moles AgNO3 added = 0.4500 M x 60 ml = 27 mmol

AgNO3 + KSCN --> AgSCN + KNO3

moles KSCN added = 0.2400 M x 36.90 ml = 8.856 mmol

excess AgNO3 present = 8.856 mmol

actual AgNO3 reacted with AsO4^3- = 27 - 8.856 = 18.144 mmol

moles AsO4^3- present = 18.144/3 = 6.048 mmol

mass of AsO4^3- in original solution = 6.048 mmol x 138.92 g/mol/1000 = 0.840 g
