Question:

25 ml of the given HCl solution requires 30 mL of 0.1 M sodium carbonate solution. What is the volume of this HCl solution required to titrate 30 mL of 0.2 M aqueous NaOH solutions ?

Show Hint

Na2CO3 is neutralised by 2 HCl (to CO2), so find the molarity of HCl first, then use NaOH + HCl in 1:1.

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Na2CO3 + 2HCl \(\rightarrow\) 2NaCl + H2O + CO2
Moles of Na2CO3 = 30 mL \(\times\) 0.1 M = 3 mmol, so HCl in 25 mL = 6 mmol.
Molarity of HCl = 6/25 = 0.24 M.
NaOH + HCl \(\rightarrow\) NaCl + H2O. Moles of NaOH = 30 \(\times\) 0.2 = 6 mmol, requiring 6 mmol HCl.
Volume of HCl = 6/0.24 = 25 mL.
Answer: (3) 25 mL
