Complex Calculations Questions
1. 25 cm3 of a solution of 0.1 moldm-3 NaOH reacts with 50 cm3 of a solution of hydrochloric acid.
What is the molarity of the acid?
2. 25.0 cm3 of a 0.10 moldm-3 solution of sodium hydroxide was titrated against a solution of
hydrochloric acid of unknown concentration. 27.3 cm3 of the acid was required. What was the
concentration of the acid?
3. 25 cm3 of a solution of sodium hydroxide reacts with 15 cm3 of 0.1 mol/dm3 HCl. What is the
molar concentration of the sodium hydroxide solution?
4. Succinic acid has the formula (CH2)n(COOH)2 and reacts with dilute sodium hydroxide as
follows: (CH2)n(COOH)2 + 2NaOH (CH2)n(COONa)2 + 2H2O
2.0 g of succinic acid were dissolved in water and the solution made up to 250 cm 3. This
solution was placed in a burette and 18.4 cm3 was required to neutralise 25 cm3 of 0.1 moldm-3
NaOH. Deduce the molecular formula of the acid and hence the value of n.
5. Sodium carbonate exists in hydrated form, Na2CO3.xH2O, in the solid state. 3.5 g of a sodium
carbonate sample was dissolved in water and the volume made up to 250 cm3. 25.0 cm3 of this
solution was titrated against 0.1 moldm-3 HCl and 24.5 cm3 of the acid were required. Calculate
the value of x given the equation:
Na2CO3 + 2HCl 2NaCl + CO2 + H2O
6. 25 cm3 of a sample of vinegar (CH3COOH) was pipetted into a volumetric flask and the volume
was made up to 250 cm3. This solution was placed in a burette and 13.9 cm3 were required to
neutralise 25 cm3 of 0.1 moldm-3 NaOH. Calculate the molarity of the original vinegar solution
and its concentration in gdm-3, given that it reacts with NaOH in a 1:1 ratio.
7. 2.5 g of a sample of ethanedioic acid, H2C2O4.nH2O, was dissolved in water and the solution
made up to 250 cm3. This solution was placed in a burette and 15.8 cm3 were required to
neutralise 25 cm3 of 0.1 moldm-3 NaOH. Given that ethanedioic acid reacts with NaOH in a 1:2
ratio, calculate the value of n.
