a 657-ml sample of unknown HCL solution reacts completely with Na2CO3 to form 11.1 g CO2. What was the concentration of the HCI solution?

Respuesta :

The concentration of the HCI solution : 0.767 M

Further explanation

Reaction

Na₂CO₃ (aq) + 2 HCl (aq) → 2 NaCl (aq) + CO₂ (g) + H₂O (l)

mass of CO₂ = 11.1 g

mol of CO₂ (MW= 44,01 g/mol) :

[tex]\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mol=\dfrac{11.1}{ 44,01}\\\\mol=0.252[/tex]

From the equation above, mol ratio of HCl : CO₂ = 2 : 1, so mol HCl :

[tex]\tt mol~HCl=\dfrac{2}{1}\times 0.252=0.504[/tex]

Molarity shows the number of moles of solute in every 1 liter of solution.

[tex]\large{\boxed {\bold {M ~ = ~ \frac {n} {V}}}[/tex]

The molarity of unknown HCl :

mol=n=0.504

volume=V=657 ml=0.657 L

[tex]\tt M=\dfrac{0.504}{0.657}\\\\M=0.767[/tex]
