a sample of 4.64g of hydrated sodium carbonate, Na2CO3XH2O was dissolved in 1dm3 of water, 25.0cm3 of this solution required 20.0cm3 of 0.05moldm-3 hydrochloric acid for neutralisation. Which one of the following is the value of x?

A 0.5 B 5 C 7 D 13
What are the steps to solve this???
Do a normal titration calc to find the amount of Na2CO3 reacts with the HCl. Since you have a mass, you can work out the Mr of the hydrated Na2CO3. You know the Mr of the Na2CO3, the rest of the Mr is due to the xH2O. 18.0 is your friend, here.
