Q4+5.
A student made a standard solution of sodium hydroxide by dissolving 10.0g of sodium hydroxide, NaOH, in distilled water to make 250cm3 of solution.
[Mr: NaOH = 40]
The equation for the reaction is:
HBr(aq) + KOH(aq) → KBr(aq) + H2O
Q7-10. A chemist carries out a titration to find the concentration of a solution of sodium hydroxide.
She titrates 25.0cm3 of sodium hydroxide solution with a solution of sulfuric acid using phenolphthalein as an indicator.
14.6cm3 of 0.200mol/dm3 sulfuric acid was required.
7. The most suitable pieces of apparatus for measuring the volumes of sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid are:
Question 1:
The correct formula is:
B. number of moles = concentration x volume in dm³
This is because concentration is typically expressed in mol/dm³ (moles per cubic decimeter), so multiplying by the volume in dm³ gives the number of moles.
If you have volume in cm³, you would first need to convert it to dm³ by dividing by 1000.
*These A.I. responses have been individually checked to ensure they match the accepted answer, but explanations may still be incorrect. Responses may give guidance but the A.I. might not be able to answer the question! This is particularly the case for questions based on diagrams, which the A.I. typically cannot interpret. Grade Gorilla uses Gemini, Deepseek and a range of other A.I. chatbots to generate the saved responses. Some answers have had human intervention for clarity or where the A.I. has not been able to answer the question.
Question 2:
To find the number of moles, we use the formula:
Step 1: Convert the volume from cm³ to dm³.
Step 2: Multiply by the concentration.
So the correct answer is:
B. 0.00375 mol
Question 3:
To find the volume, we rearrange the moles formula:
Step 1: Plug in the values.
Step 2: Convert from dm³ to cm³ (since the answer choices are in cm³).
D. 90.0 cm³
Question 4:
To calculate the amount in moles, use the formula:
A. 0.250
Question 5:
To calculate the concentration, use the formula:
Step 1: We already calculated the moles of NaOH from the previous question:
Step 2: Convert the volume from cm³ to dm³.
Step 3: Plug into the concentration formula.
C. 1.00 mol/dm³
Question 6:
To solve this, we use the mole ratio from the balanced equation and the formula for volume.
Step 1: Find the mole ratio.
The balanced equation is:
The ratio is 1:1, so moles of KOH needed = moles of HBr = 0.0020 mol.
Step 2: Use the volume formula.
Volume (in dm³)=moles/concentration
Volume=0.0020 mol/(0.20 mol/dm³)=0.010 dm³
Step 3: Check the answer choices.
C. 0.010 dm³ is correct.
If you wanted it in cm³, you would multiply by 1000 to get 10 cm³, but that is not listed as an option.
C. 0.010 dm³
Question 7:
For a titration, the most suitable apparatus is:
Pipette – used to measure a fixed, accurate volume of the alkali (sodium hydroxide) that is being titrated.
Burette – used to deliver variable, accurate volumes of the acid during the titration.
So the sodium hydroxide (25.0 cm³) should be measured with a pipette, and the sulfuric acid should be delivered from a burette.
Correct answer: B. pipette / burette
Question 8:
To find the amount (in moles) of sulfuric acid used, use the formula:
C. 0.00292
Question 9:
To find the moles of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), we use the mole ratio from the balanced equation:
From the equation, 2 moles of NaOH react with 1 mole of H₂SO₄. So the mole ratio is:
moles of NaOH=2×moles of H2SO4
Step 1: From the previous question, we calculated:
Step 2: Multiply by 2.
B. 0.00584
Question 10:
To find the concentration of the sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution, use the formula:
Step 1: From the previous question, we know:
Step 2: Convert the volume of NaOH from cm³ to dm³.
The volume used was 25.0 cm³:
Step 3: Plug into the formula.
Rounded to three significant figures, this gives:
A. 0.234 mol/dm³
