Solution Calculation Questions
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. 10 cm3 of a solution of NaCl react with 15 cm3 of a 0.02 moldm-3 solution of AgNO3. What is the
concentration of the NaCl solution in gdm-3?
4. 25 cm3 of a 0.1 moldm-3 solution of an acid HxA reacts with 75 cm3 of a 0.1 moldm-3 solution of NaOH.
What is the value of x?
HxA + xNaOH + NaxA + xH2O
5. A solution of hydrochloric acid of volume 25.0 cm3 was pipetted onto a piece of marble which is calcium
carbonate. When all action had ceased, 1.30g of the marble had dissolved. Find the concentration of the
acid
Equation: CaCO3 + 2HCl CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O
6. What volume of 0.1 moldm-3 hydrochloric acid would be required to dissolve 2.3 g of calcium carbonate?
Equation: CaCO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) CaCl2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
7. 2.05 g of the carbonate of an unknown alkali metal (X2CO3) required 8.9 cm3 of 2.0 moldm-3 hydrochloric
acid to completely dissolve it. What was the relative atomic mass of the metal and which metal was it?
Equation: X2CO3(s) + 2HCl(aq) 2XCl(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
8. 3.2 g of hydrated sodium carbonate, Na2CO3.xH2O, was dissolved in water and the resulting solution was
titrated against 1.0 moldm-3 hydrochloric acid. 22.4 cm3 of the acid was required. What is the value of x?
