Back-Titration Practice Problems

The document provides examples of back-titration practice problems involving the titration of various bases and acids. Specifically, it gives 6 examples where a sample of a base or metal hydroxide is reacted with an acid, then a portion of the resulting solution is back-titrated to determine the amount of unreacted acid using a base of known concentration. The identity of the base or metal in the sample is then determined based on the titration results.

Back-titration Practice Problems

1. A 1.0000 gram sample of K2CO3 (138.2055 g/mol) is dissolved in enough water to make
250.0 mL of solution. A 25.00 mL aliquot is taken and titrated with 0.1000 M HCl:
K2CO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq)

2KCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

How many mL of HCl are used? (14.47)

2. A 0.6000 g sample of K2CO3 (138.2055 g/mol) is dissolved in enough water to make


200.0 mL of solution A. A 20.00 mL aliquot of solution A is taken and put into an
Erlenmeyer flask. To the flask is added 20.00 mL of 0.1700 M HCl:
K2CO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq)

2KCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

The resulting solution is then titrated with 0.1048 M NaOH.


NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)

H2O(l) + NaCl(aq)

How many mL of NaOH are used? (24.16)

3. A 0.4108 gram sample of CaCO3 (100.087 g/mol) is added to a flask along with
15.00 mL of 2.000 M HCl.
CaCO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq)

CaCl2(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Enough water is then added to make 250.0 mL of solution A. A 20.00 mL aliquot of


solution A is taken and titrated with 0.1160 M NaOH.
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)

H2O(l) + NaCl(aq)

How many mL of NaOH are used? (15.03)

4. A 0.6181 gram sample of M2CO3 was taken and dissolved in enough water to make
100.0 mL of solution A. A 10.00 mL aliquot of solution A was taken and 25.00 mL of
0.1842 M HCl added.
M2CO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq)

2MCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

It took 19.90 mL of 0.1473 M NaOH to titrate the resulting solution.


NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)

H2O(l) + NaCl(aq)

What is the metal, M? (Li)

5. A 0.9030 gram sample of M(OH)2 was mixed with 20.00 mL of 2.000 M HCl and
enough water added to make 100.0 mL of solution A.
M(OH)2(aq) + 2HCl(aq)

2H2O(l) + MCl2(aq)

A 10.00 mL aliquot of solution A was taken and titrated with 17.64 mL of 0.05121 M
NaOH.
NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq)

H2O(l) + NaCl(aq)

What is the metal, M? (Mg)

6. A 1.0101 gram sample of Fe(OH)n was missed with 20.00 mL of 2.000 M HCl and
enough water added to make 200.0 mL of solution A.
Fe(OH)n(s) + nHCl(aq)

FeCln(aq) + nH2O(l)

A 25.00 mL aliquot of solution A was taken and titrated with 14.56 mL of 0.1000 M
KOH.
KOH(aq) + HCl(aq)
What is the value of n? (3)

H2O(l) + KCl(aq)
