Back Titration

11. A student was asked to determine the concentration of ammonia, a volatile substance, in a commercially
available cloudy ammonia solution used for cleaning.
First the student pipetted 25.00mL of the cloudy ammonia solution into a 250.0mL conical flask.
50.00mL of 0.100M HCl(aq) was immediately added to the conical flask which reacted with the ammonia
in solution.
The excess (unreacted) HCl was then titrated with 0.050M Na2CO3(aq).
21.50mL of Na2CO3(aq) was required.
Calculate the concentration of the ammonia in the cloudy ammonia solution.

12. A student was asked to determine the mass, in grams, of calcium carbonate present in a 0.125g sample of
chalk.
The student placed the chalk sample in a 250mL conical flask and added 50.00mL 0.200M HCl using a
pipette.
The excess HCl was then titrated with 0.250M NaOH.
The average NaOH titre was 32.12mL
Calculate the mass of calcium carbonate, in grams, present in the chalk sample.

13. Magnesium oxide is not very soluble in water, and is difficult to titrate directly. Its purity can be
determined by use of a 'back titration' method. 4.06 g of impure magnesium oxide was completely
dissolved in 100 cm3 of hydrochloric acid, of concentration 2.0 mol dm-3 (in excess). The excess acid
required 19.7 cm3 of sodium hydroxide (0.20 mol dm-3) for neutralisation. This second titration is called
a 'back-titration', and is used to determine the unreacted acid.
(a) write equations for the two neutralisation reactions.
(b) calculate the moles of hydrochloric acid added to the magnesium oxide.
(c) calculate the moles of excess hydrochloric acid titrated.
(d) calculate the moles of hydrochloric acid reacting with the magnesium oxide.

% purity of the magnesium oxide.
