IGCSE Titration Practice Questions Name: Question 1: Finding the Formula of a Compound 13.

91 gram of sodium carbonate hydrated solid was placed in a volumetric flask and made up to 1.00dm3 . 1. 25.0cm3 of the solution was transferred using a pipette into a conical flask. 2. Then drops of methyl orange was added the solution. 3. The solution in the conical flask was titrated with a standard solution of hydrochloric acid with concentration 0.100 mol dm !3 in a burette until end point. . The e"periment is repeated 2 more times to get more consistent titre values. The values of the titration are as follows# Titration number $inal burette reading% cm3 (nitial burette reading% cm3 Titre% cm3 1 2 .&0 0.20 2 2 . 5 0.10 3 2 .'5 0.20

a) Write a balanced equation to show how sodium carbonate Na 2CO3. xH2O solid reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce sodium chloride solution. b) Complete the table abo e to determine the titre alue !or the titration number "# 2 and 3. c) $xplain why titre " is not used to determine the a era%e titre !or this experiment. .
