Exercises On Volumetric Analysis and Carbonate Mixtures

5-1. A 0.5537-g sample containing oxalic acid (93.03 g/mol) required 21.62 mL of 0.09377 M NaOH for titration. If the reaction is
H2C2O4 + 2NaOH Na2C2O4 + 2H2O

Calculate the % H2C2O4 in the sample. (17.03%)

5-2. A sodium thiosulfate solution can be standardized by using it to titrate the iodine liberated by the action of excess KI on a known weight of
primary standard K2Cr2O7.

Cr2O72- + 6I- + 14H+ 2Cr3+ + 3I2 + 7H2O

I2 + 2S2O32- 2I- + S4O62-
Calculate the molar concentration of the sodium thiosulfate solution if 31.47 mL of this solution were required to titrate a sample prepared using
0.2177 g of pure K2Cr2O7 (294.185 g/mol) . (0.1411 M)

5-3. A 0.1428-g sample of carbonate rock was pulverized and heated in a closed system causing the evolution of CO 2:
MxCO3 MxO + CO2(g)
A stream of nitrogen was used to sweep the CO 2 into 100.0 mL of 0.05172 M NaOH solution:
CO2(g) + 2NaOH Na2CO3 + H2O

The excess NaOH required 28.14 mL of 0.1788 M HCI for titration. Calculate the amount of carbonate in the sample as % CaCO3 (100.09
g/mol). (4.93%)

5-4. A series of 30-mL water samples were analyzed for its contents which may be NaOH, Na2CO3, and NaHCO 3 alone or in compatible
combination. The samples were titrated with phenolphthalein (phth) and methyl orange (MO) separately and then titrated with 0.0839 M HCl. The
summary of results is given below:

Sample Volume needed for phth endpoint (mL) Volume needed for MO end point (mL)
A 5.00 18.20
B 14.00 18.00
C 7.50 7.51

(A) Determine the concentration of the solute(s) in Sample A in mg/L.(1.482; 1.927)

(B) Determine the concentration of the solute(s) in Sample B in mg/L. (1.186; 1.119)

(C) Determine the concentration of analyte(s) in Sample C in mg per liter of sample. (0.8401)

5-5. Two portions of 25-mL sample solutions containing NaOH, Na2CO3, and NaHCO3 alone or in compatible combination were titrated with 0.1202
M HCl. The first portion required 22.42 mL of HCl to reach phenolphthalein end point. The second portion needed 22.44 mL of HCl to reach the
methyl orange end point. Determine the concentration of the component/s in milligrams per milliliter of solution. (4.312)

5-6. Two portions of 25-mL sample solutions containing NaOH, Na2CO3, and NaHCO3 alone or in compatible combination were titrated with 0.1202
M HCl. The first portion required 0.00 mL of HCl to reach phenolphthalein end point. The second portion needed 33.333 mL of HCl to reach the
methyl orange end point. Determine the concentration of the component/s in milligrams per milliliter of solution. (13.46)

5-7. A 25.00-mL solution containing NaOH, Na2CO3, and NaHCO3 alone or in compatible combination were titrated with 0.1202 M HCl, with
phenolphthalein as indicator. The solution becomes colorless after adding 29.64 mL of HCl. Methyl orange was then added and 6.78 mL of HCl was
needed to change the color of the indicator. Calculate the concentration of each component in milligrams per milliliter of solution. (3.455; 4.396)

5-8. A 25-mL sample solution containing NaOH, Na2CO3, and NaHCO3 alone or in compatible combination were titrated with 0.1202 M HCl. This
required 16.12 mL of HCl to reach phenolphthalein end point. A second portion of the same volume and identity of sample needed 32.23 mL of HCl
to reach the methyl orange end point. Determine the concentration of the component/s in milligrams per milliliter of solution. (8.212)

5-9. A 25.00-mL solution containing NaOH, Na2CO3, and NaHCO3 alone or in compatible combination were titrated with 0.1202 M HCl, with
phenolphthalein as indicator. The solution becomes colorless after adding 6.60 mL of HCl. Methyl orange was then added and 15.00 mL of HCl was
needed to change the color of the indicator. Calculate the concentration of each component in milligrams per milliliter of solution. (3.363; 1.615)
