Question

xplain your Sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO, is a base used in several commercial antacids. The overall reaction with HCl is: HCl (aq) + NaHCO3(aq) NaCl(aq) + H20() + CO2(g) A tablet, which had a mass of 1.213 g, was pulverized and 0.613 g were dissolved in 25.00 mL of 0.220 M HCI. The titration of this solution with 0.1615 M NaOH required 26.30 mL to reach the phenolphthalein end point. The reaction of NaOH and HCl is: IS: HCI(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaCl(aq) + H2O(1) a) Determine the moles of HCI that were added to the sample analyzed. volumedi) volumec) volume as.eonL-O O35

Explanation / Answer

Mass of a tablet= 1.213 g

wt. of sample taken for analysis= 0.613 g

Con. of HCl= 0.22 M; Volume of HCl= 25.0 mL

Con. of NaOH= 0.1615 M; volume of NaOH=26.30 mL

use (MV)HCl= (MV)NaOH

In absence of sample, 25.0 mL of 0.22 M HCl required

VNaOH= (MV)HCl / MNaOH= (0.22 x 25.0)/ 0.1615= 34.05 mL of NaOH solution.

But, In presence of sample, volume of NaOH required is 26.30 mL.

thus, the 34.05-26.30= 7.75 mL of NaOH

use (MV)HCl= (MV)NaOH

(V)HCl= (MV)NaOH/ MHCl= (0.1615 x 7.75)/ 0.22= 5.69 mL

thus, voume of NaHCO3 consumed is 5.69 mL of HCl,
