37. A titration was carried out to determine the concentration of a solution of hydrochloric
acid by titration with a standard solution of sodium carbonate. 25.0 cm3 of the standard
solution was transferred to a conical flask and titrated with hydrochloric acid solution.
The titration was repeated until concordant titres were obtained.
a) Give the name of the piece of apparatus used to make the standard
solution of sodium carbonate.
b) give the name of the piece of apparatus used to transfer the sodium
carbonate to the flask.
c) Explain what is meant by ‘concordant titres’.
d) In the experiment, the student neglected to fill the bottom part of
the burette so there was air below the tap. State what effect, if any,
this would have on the recorded titre.
e) The student rinsed the flask with distilled water between titrations.
Another student said that this was wrong, and that the flask should
be rinsed with the sodium carbonate solution. Explain which
student is correct.
38. Describe how you would prepare 250 cm3 of a standard solution of sodium carbonate of
concentration 0.125 mol dm-3. Your method should include the apparatus you would use
and the mass of the solid, as well as other relevant practical details.
39. . If it takes 50.0 mL of 0.50 M KOH solution to completely neutralize 125 mL of sulfuric
acid solution(H2SO4), what is the concentration of the H2SO4 solution?
40. Can I titrate a solution of unknown concentration with another solution of unknown
concentration and still get a meaningful answer? Explain your answer in a few sentences.
41. A sample of hydrated magnesium sulphate MgSO4.XH2O,is found to contain 51.1%
what is the value of X
