AI Thread Summary
To determine the mL of NaOH used in the back titration, first calculate the moles of K2CO3 in the 20.00 mL aliquot, which is approximately 0.0045 moles. The reaction with HCl consumes K2CO3, resulting in 0.0090 moles of HCl needed for complete reaction. After adding 20.00 mL of 0.1700 M HCl, the total moles of HCl present is 0.0034, leading to an excess of HCl that must be neutralized by NaOH. Using the stoichiometry of the reaction, the amount of NaOH required to neutralize the excess HCl is calculated to be about 24.16 mL. The solution effectively illustrates the steps needed to solve back titration problems.

I'm stuck on how to find how many ml of NaOH were used in a back titration.

A 0.6000 g sample of K2CO3 (138.2055 g/mol) is dissolved in enough water to make 200.0 mL of solution A. A 20.00 mL aliquot of solution A is taken and put into an Erlenmeyer flask. To the flask is added 20.00 mL of 0.1700 M HCl:

K2CO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq)2KCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

The resulting solution is then titrated with 0.1048 M NaOH.

NaOH(aq) + HCl(aq) → H2O(l) + NaCl(aq)

How many mL of NaOH are used? (24.16)

I have:
0.6000gK2CO3 x (1/138.2055gK2CO3) x (1/.200ml) = 0.021707 M K2CO3.
0.170M HCl x (1/0.04ml) = 0.0034 mol HCl and 0.0034 mol NaOH (1:1 ratio)

From here I don't know what to do to find the ml of NaOH required to solve the equation. Could anybody show me how or give me some hints? Thank you.

What was the amount of the excess HCl (first reaction)?

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
