An aqueous soltion of 6.3 g oxalic acid dihydrate is made up to 250 mL...
**Given:**
- The molar mass of oxalic acid dihydrate (C2H2O4·2H2O) is 126 g/mol.
- 6.3 g of oxalic acid dihydrate is dissolved in 250 mL of water to make a solution.
- We need to determine the volume of 0.1 N NaOH required to neutralize 10 mL of this solution.
**Solution:**
1. Calculate the number of moles of oxalic acid dihydrate:
- Number of moles = Mass / Molar mass
- Number of moles = 6.3 g / 126 g/mol = 0.05 mol
2. 0.1 N NaOH means that 1 L of NaOH solution contains 0.1 mol of NaOH.
- To calculate the volume of 0.1 N NaOH required, we can use the formula:
- Moles of solute = Normality × Volume of solution (in L)
- Since we have 0.05 moles of oxalic acid dihydrate, we can calculate the volume of 0.1 N NaOH required to neutralize it:
- Volume of 0.1 N NaOH = (0.05 mol) / (0.1 mol/L) = 0.5 L = 500 mL
3. We need to find the volume of 0.1 N NaOH required to neutralize 10 mL of the oxalic acid dihydrate solution.
- We can use the formula:
- Moles of solute = Normality × Volume of solution (in L)
- Since we have 0.05 moles of oxalic acid dihydrate, we can calculate the volume of 0.1 N NaOH required to neutralize it:
- Volume of 0.1 N NaOH = (0.05 mol) / (0.1 mol/L) = 0.5 L = 500 mL
- Therefore, the volume of 0.1 N NaOH required to neutralize 10 mL of the oxalic acid dihydrate solution is 500 mL × (10 mL / 250 mL) = 20 mL.
4. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'A' which is 40 mL.
An aqueous soltion of 6.3 g oxalic acid dihydrate is made up to 250 mL...
6.3g oxalic acid dihydrate is present in 250 ml of solution
so in 10 ml of solution 6.3×10/250 g = 63/250 g of oxalic acid dihydrate is present.
so molarity of this 10 ml solution is = 63×1000/250×126×10 = 0.2M
now valency factor of oxalic acid dihydrate is n=2
so N1=n×M
N1= 2×0.2=0.4N
and normality N2 of NaOH is 0.1
N1 × V1= N2 × V2
0.4N × 10ml = 0.1 × V2
so V2 = 40 ml
