TASK 19 - BACK TITRATION CALCULATIONS

Limestone is mainly calcium carbonate. A student wanted to find what percentage of some limestone was calcium
carbonate. A 1.00 g sample of limestone is allowed to react with 100 cm3 of 0.200 mol dm-3 HCl. The excess acid
required 24.8 cm3 of 0.100 mol dm-3 NaOH solution in a back titration. Calculate the percentage of calcium
carbonate in the limestone.

CaCO3 + 2 HCI CaCl2 + HO + CO2 HCI + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O

An impure sample of barium hydroxide of mass 1.6524 g was allowed to react with 100 cm3 of 0.200 mol dm-s
hydrochloric acid. When the excess acid was titrated against 0.228 mol dm 3 sodium hydroxide in a back titration,
10.9 cm3 of sodium hydroxide solution was required. Calculate the percentage purity of the sample of barium
hydroxide.

Ba(OH)2 + 2 HCI -) BaCl2 + 2 HO HCI + NaOH > NaCl + H.O

Calculate (a) the moles and (b) the


mass of magnesium carbonate at the start if 0.200 moles of sulfuric acid is added

to the magnesium carbonate and the excess sulfuric acid made up to a 250 cm3 solution. 25.0 cm3 of this solution
required 0.0300 moles of sodium hydroxide for neutralisation.

MgCO3 + H2SO4 - MgSO4 +1 H2O + CO2 H2SO4 2 NaOH > Na2SO4 + 2 H20

Astudent wanted to find the mass of calcium carbonate in an indigestion tablet. She crushed up a tablet and added
an excess of hydrochloric acid (25.0 cm3 of 1.00 mol dm-3). She hen titrated the excess against 0.500 mol dm~
NaOH requiring 25.8 cm3 of the NaOH. Calculate the mass of calcium carbonate In the tablet.

5) A sample containing ammonium chloride was warmed with 100 cm3 of 1.00 mol dm-3 sodium hydroxide solution.
After the ammonia had reacted the excess sodium hydroxide required 50.0 cms of 0.250 mol dm-s HCl for
neutralisation. What mass of ammonium chloride did the sample contain?

CHALLENGE 3
1) A fertiliser contains ammonium sulfate and potassium sulfate. A sample of 1.455 g of the fertiliser was warmed
with 25.0 cm® 0.200 mol dm* sodium hydroxide solution giving off ammonia gas. The remaining NaOH that was
not used required 28.7 cm3 of 0.100 mol dm3 hydrochloric acid for
neutralisation. Calculate the percentage by
mass of ammonium sulfate in the sample.

2) Silicon tetrachloride dissolves in ethoxyethane, an inert solvent. If the ethoxyethane is contaminated with little
water, a partial hydrolysis occurs and two compounds A and B are formed. The formula of A is Si2OCle and that
of B is SigO2Cla.

When a 0,100 g sample of one of the compounds, A or B reacted with an excess


of water, all the chlorine present
was converted to chloride ions. Titration of this solution with aqueous silver(I) nitrate, in the presence of suitable
indicator required 42.10 cm3 of 0.0500 mol dm-3
chloride. Deduce which of the compounds
aqueous silver(I) nitrate for complete precipitation of silver(I)
A or B was present in the 0.100 g sample.
