Titration Question (High School Chem)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a high school chemistry titration experiment involving ammonium chloride and lithium hydroxide solutions. The student successfully calculated the concentration of barium hydroxide and hydroxide ions, as well as the average titrant volume for the first series of titrations. However, they are struggling with the remaining questions, which include determining the concentration of the ammonium chloride solution and calculating the average titrant volume for the second series of titrations. The results from the titration trials indicate a systematic approach is needed to solve for the unknown concentrations. The thread emphasizes the importance of reaction equations in determining the final concentrations.

Ok i got to answer i series of 8 questions, most of them i think rely of the question before it to complete the others.Heres what I am given:

A student was trying to determine the concentration of an ammonium chloride solution. he made up a solution of barium hydroxide by dissolving 52.947g in a volumetric flask made up up 1.0L and then tirtrate 50 ml of this solution with unknown ammonium chloride solution. The following resutls were obtained

Intial volume 3.38ml and final volume 35.07ml (in the lab it did it for three trials I am just goin gto give the average)

The newly standized ammonium solution was then used to determine the concentration of 50 ml of an unknown solution of lithium hydroxide with the following results:

Intial volume 2.76ML and final volume 40.81ml


Now here are the questions: I got the first 4 but the last few i need help.

1.Calculate the concentraion of barium hydoxide.
answer: 0.30900 mol/L

2.Determine the concentration of hydroixde ions.
answer: 0.6180 mol/L

3.Calculate the number of moles of hydroixde ion in the flask.
answer: 0.6180mol/L

4.Calculate the average titrant volume for the first series of titrations:
answer: 31.7mL

----The following I am having trouble with----

5.Determine the concentration of ammonium chloride solution
6.Calculate the average titrant volume for the second series of titrations
answer: 38.05ml
7.determine the number of moles of ammonium ions used to neutralize the hydroxide ions.
8.Determine the concentration of the lithium hydroxide solution.

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...
