COMPLETED

1ai)

-inconsidtent reading of the burette to the nearest whole number

-consistently reading burette to one decimal number

-arithmetic error

-lack of unit

-non concordant values

1aii)

Average Titre=24.55+22.60+22.50/3

=69.65cm³/3

=23.216cm³

1aiii)

Na²Co3+2HCL===>2Nacl+H20+Co2

1aiv)

Methyl Orange.

1av)

It’s a titration Between strong acid and Strong Base

1avi)

Pink

CA=0.0050moldm-³,Na=2

CB=? VB=25cm³, Nb=1

VA=23.21cm³

CAVA= NA

CBVB NB

0.050X23.21=2

CBX25.00 1

CBX2X25.00=0.0050X23.21X1

CB=1.1605/50 moldm³

CB=0.023moldm³

1bii)

Molar mass of Na2 Co3

2[Na]+ C+3 [O]

=2(23)+12+3+(16)

=46+12+48 gmol-1

Molar Mass of Na2Co3=106gmol-1

Concentration Of Na2Co3 in gdm-3

=CBx Molar Mass

=0.023×106 gdm-3

=2.438gdm-1

1biii)

1 Mole Of Co2=22.4cmd-3

Mole Ratio Of B(Na2Co3):Co2= 1:1

0.023mole=0.023mole

1mole of Co2=22.4dm³

0.023mole =22.4×0.023

=0.52dm³

1biv)

n=CV

n=0.05×23.21

n=1.16mole
