5. A packet of washing soda crystals has been left open to the atmosphere for some time.
The crystals formed a white powder which may be represented by the formula
Na,CO,xH;0. The value of x may be found by dissolving a known quantity of the powder
and titrating the solution with an acid of known concentration.
Inone experiment, a student weighed out 1.58 g of the powder and dissolved it in water.
The volume was made up to exactly 250 cm. 25.0 cm of this solution was titrated with
hydrochloric acid of concentration 0.10 mol/dm'. 25.6 cm of the acid was required for a
complete reaction. The equation for this reaction is
Na,CO3 + 2HCI ’ 2NaCl + H,0 + CO;

(a) What is the concentration, in mol/dm, of the sodium carbonate solution? (1)

(b) Calculate the mass of sodium carbonate in 250 cm of the solution. (1)
