SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the volume of NaOH used in a back titration involving K2CO3 and HCl. A 0.6000 g sample of K2CO3 is dissolved in 200.0 mL of solution A, and a 20.00 mL aliquot is titrated with 0.1048 M NaOH after reacting with 20.00 mL of 0.1700 M HCl. The calculations provided indicate that 24.16 mL of NaOH is required to neutralize the excess HCl after the reaction with K2CO3. The key steps involve determining the molarity of K2CO3 and the moles of HCl reacted.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of stoichiometry in chemical reactions

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.
