Hi Expert!

Please answer all the following parts:

Answer all parts:

A) Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate (KHP), C6H4C2O4KH (FW 204.221), is a primary standard used to standardize sodium hydroxide. Calculate the molarity of a sodium hydroxide solution that required 27.51 mL to react with 0.4982 g of KHP.

B) The water hardness (dissolved Ca2+ and Mg2+) of a 50.00 mL sample of GSU tap water (era 2003 before campus-wide water softening) was determined by direct titration with 27.53 mL of 0.0681 M EDTA. Calculate the water hardness, (molarity of sum of dissolved Ca2+ and Mg2+), for the GSU tap water sample.  

C) A 50.00 mL sample of a solution containing Co2+ was treated with 25.00 mL of 0.0542 M EDTA to complex all the Co2+ and leave excess EDTA in solution. The excess EDTA was then back-titrated, requiring 8.48 mL of 0.035 M Zn2+. What was the concentration of Co2+ in the original solution?

Thank you in advance!

Explanation / Answer

A) Potassium Hydrogen Phthalate (KHP), C6H4C2O4KH (FW 204.221), is a primary standard used to standardize sodium hydroxide. Calculate the molarity of a sodium hydroxide solution that required 27.51 mL to react with 0.4982 g of KHP.

Solution :-

Lets first calculate the moles of the KHP

Moles = mass/ molar mass

Moles of KHP = 0.4982 g / 204.221 g per mol = 0.00244 mol KHP

Mole ratio of the KHP to NaOH is 1 :1 therefore moles of NaOH reacted are same as moles of KHP

So moles of NaOH = 0.00244 mol

Now lets calculate the molarity of the NaOH

Molarity = moles/ volume in liter

Molarity of NaOH = 0.00244 mol / 0.02751 L

                                 = 0.0887 M

So the molarity of the NaOH = 0.0887 M

B) The water hardness (dissolved Ca2+ and Mg2+) of a 50.00 mL sample of GSU tap water (era 2003 before campus-wide water softening) was determined by direct titration with 27.53 mL of 0.0681 M EDTA. Calculate the water hardness, (molarity of sum of dissolved Ca2+ and Mg2+), for the GSU tap water sample.

Solution :-

Lets first calculate the moles of the EDTA

Moles of EDTA = molarity * volume in liter

                           = 0.0681 mol per L * 0.02753 L

                          = 0.001875 mol EDTA

Moles of Ca^2+ and Mg^2+ total reacted with EDTA are same as moles of EDTA

So moles of cations Ca^2+ and Mg^2+ total = 0.001875 mol

Now lets calculate its molarity

Molarity = moles / volume in liter

                = 0.001875 mol / 0.050 L

               = 0.0375 M

So the hardness of water = 0.0375 M   

C) A 50.00 mL sample of a solution containing Co2+ was treated with 25.00 mL of 0.0542 M EDTA to complex all the Co2+ and leave excess EDTA in solution. The excess EDTA was then back-titrated, requiring 8.48 mL of 0.035 M Zn2+. What was the concentration of Co2+ in the original solution?

Solution :- Lets first calculate the total moles of EDTA

Moles of EDTA = 0.0542 mol per L * 0.025 L = 0.001355 mol

Now lets calculate moles of Zn^2+

Moles of Zn^2+ = 0.035 mol per L * 0.00848 L = 0.000297 mol Zn^2+

So the moles of Co^2+ reacted = total moles of EDTA – moles of Zn^2+

                                                   = 0.001355 mol – 0.000297 mol

                                                   = 0.001058 mol

Now lets calculate the molarity of the Co^2+

Molarity of Co^2+ = 0.001058 mol / 0.05 L

                              = 0.0212 M Co^2+

So the concentration of the Co^2+ in the original solution is 0.0212 M
