Help with hard titration

How would i solve this problem?

the answer is n=2
but whats the method behind it?

Thanks

You're correct until you get the amount of acid.

Next, using the 18.3cm3 volume to figure out concentration. You'll get 0.0679 mol dm-3 of acid.

Then you need the moles in the 250cm3 sample. You should get 0.0616 mol.

You need Mm. So you do mass/moles. You should get 117.76.

Then you use that to figure out n.
117.76-((12+16+16+1)*2)= 27.76

27.76/(12+2)=1.98
Round it up to 2
n=2

Sorry, i dont follow your line of working, could you break it down a little.to the
like what did you do the concentration of 0.0679 to get 0,616?

To get concentration I used the equation concentration=moles/volume.
Convert 18.4cm3 into dm3. 18.4/1000= 0.0184dm3.
Then I did (0.0025/0.0184)= 0.0679 mol dm-3.


Then you need amount of acid so you convert volume to dm3 again. 250/1000=0.25

Moles=Concentration*Volume
0.0069*0.25=0.016 mol

Learn these relationships, they're really important in calculations. I like to write them out at the top of the page as I find it really helpful! :smile:

Thank youuuuu so much, you dont realise how much i've been struggling doing these kinds of calculations

No problem. :smile: Haha I started off absolutely dreading calculations, but, as cliche as it sounds, practice makes perfect. I've done every single resource my teachers have, and now I quite enjoy them because I know what I'm doing. You'll get better at them, don't worry!:smile:

why did u do (0.0025/0.0184)= 0.0679 mol dm-3.
dividing the volume of the old one to the new one how does that give concentration?
how do i get get 0.0679 mold dm cubed of the 18.4 cm cubed solution to a 250 cm cubed solution?
