Homework Statement




The concentration of HCl in a bottle was determined as follows:

* 4.00 mL of the acid were diluted to 150.00 mL
* 26.53 mL of the diluted acid were titrated with 0.08329-M NaOH
* 43.91 mL of the base were required to reach the end point

What is the HCl concentration in the bottle?

Homework Equations



Possibly C(final)=C(initial)*(v(1)/v(2))*(v(3)/v(4))* ,...

The Attempt at a Solution



C(initial)= .08329 M
For end Volume I assume that be V(4) and V(3) would be the titrated volume.
C(final)=.08329 M *(4 mL/150 mL)*(26.53 mL/43.91mL)= .00134 M

2HCl + 2NaOH - > 2NaCl +2H20

Valence factor of NaOH = 1
Valence factor of HCl = 1

Normality of NaOH = 0.08329N
Equivalents used = 0.08329 * 43.91 = 3.657meq

SO equivalents of HCl in 26.53ml(dil) = 3.657meq

Eq in 154 ml water diluted sol = ?(Get the result in meq)

Volume of sol, = 154ML

U have got the meq U have got the Vol.U can find concentration in Normality or Molarity.

Is the answer .77N right?
 

1. What is a successive dilution problem?

A successive dilution problem is a type of mathematical problem that involves diluting a solution multiple times to reach a desired concentration. It is commonly used in scientific experiments and calculations.

2. How do you solve a successive dilution problem?

To solve a successive dilution problem, you need to know the initial concentration of the solution, the final desired concentration, and the total number of dilutions. You can then use the formula C1V1 = C2V2, where C1 is the initial concentration, V1 is the initial volume, C2 is the final concentration, and V2 is the final volume.

3. What is the formula for a successive dilution problem?

The formula for a successive dilution problem is C1V1 = C2V2, where C1 is the initial concentration, V1 is the initial volume, C2 is the final concentration, and V2 is the final volume. This formula is used to calculate the volume of the solution needed for each dilution step.

4. What are some common mistakes to avoid when solving a successive dilution problem?

Some common mistakes to avoid when solving a successive dilution problem include forgetting to account for the dilution factor at each step, using the wrong units for concentration or volume, and not properly labeling the units in the final answer. It is important to double-check all calculations and units to ensure accuracy.

5. Can a successive dilution problem be solved without using the formula?

Yes, a successive dilution problem can also be solved using the concept of proportions. This involves setting up a ratio of the initial solution to the final solution and solving for the unknown volume. However, using the formula C1V1 = C2V2 is often a more efficient and accurate method of solving these types of problems.
