C1501 Tutorial 7

1. We have 250 mL of a 0.200 M solution of NaCl. We take 50.0 mL of this solution

and dilute it to 500 mL. What is the concentration of the new solution?

2. A chemist wants prepare 0.50M HCl. Commercial hydrochloric acid is 12.4 M.

How many millilitres of the commercial acid does the chemist require to make
up 1.50 L of the dilute?
3. A 5.00 g sample of vinegar is titrated with 0.108 M NaOH. If the vinegar
requires 39.10 mL of the NaOH solution for the reaction mixture to change
colour to pink. What is the mass percentage of acetic acid CH3COOH in
vinegar?
4. To determine the molar mass of an organic, HA, we titrated 1.056 g of HA with
standardized NaOH. Calculate the molar mass of HA assuming the acid reacts
with 33.78 mL of 0.256 M NaOH

5. A solution made from pure barium hydroxide contained 2.74 g in exactly 100
cm3 of water. Using phenolphthalein indicator, titration of 20.0 cm 3 of this
solution required 18.7 cm3 of a hydrochloric acid solution for complete
neutralisation. [atomic masses: Ba = 137, O = 16, H = 1)

(a) write the equation for the titration reaction.

(b) calculate the molarity of the barium hydroxide solution.

(c) calculate the moles of barium hydroxide neutralised.

(d) calculate the moles of hydrochloric acid neutralised.

(e) calculate the molarity of the hydrochloric acid.

6. A 3.33 g sample of iron ore is transformed to a solution of iron (II) Sulphate,

FeSO4, and this solution is titrated with 0.150 M K 2Cr2O7 (potassium
dichromate). If it requires 43.7 ml of potassium dichromate solution to titrate the
iron (II) Sulphate solution, what is the percentage of iron in the ore? The
reaction is
6FeSO4(aq) + K2Cr2O7(aq) + 7H2SO4(aq)  3Fe2(SO4)3(aq) + Cr2(SO4)3(aq) + 7H2O(l)
+ K2SO4(aq).

7. A chemist added an excess of sodium sulfate to a solution of a soluble barium

compound to precipitate all of the barium ion as barium sulfate, BaSO 4. How
many grams of barium ion are In a 458 mg sample of the barium compound if
a solution of the sample gave 513 mg BaSO4 precipitate? What is the mass
percentage of barium in the compound?
8. Write a net ionic equation for any precipitation that occurs when dilute solutions
of the following compounds are mixed.
i. NaOH and Cu(NO3)2
ii. Ba(OH)2 and MgSO4
iii. (NH4)3PO4 and K2CO3
