Sample Laboratory Examples

In this experiment, you are to determine relative atomic mass of M.
Your are provided with two solutions:
BA1, 0.1M sulphuric acid
BA2, contains 5.55gl- of M(OH)2
Pipette 25cm3 of BA2 into a flask. Add 2 drops of phenolphalein indicator. Titrate it against BA1 from the burrete.
Volume of pipette used =25.0cm3

Table of results:

Volumes of BA1 used to calculate the average volume are 18.70cm3, 18.75cm3 and 18.75cm3, Average value of titre

(18.70+18.75+ 1875)cm3      = 18.73cm3

               3          

Questions:

1. (a) (i) Write the equation for the reaction between BA1 and BA2.
H2S04(aq)+M(OH)2 (aq)®MSO4 (aq)+H20(l)
(ii) Calculate the moles of the acid. 0.1 mole of the acid are in 1000cm3
of solution = moles of acid in 18.73cm3 of solution is  = 0.00183 mole

 (iii) Determine moles of M(OH)2 that reacted. From the equation:
1 mole of acid reacts with 1 mole of M(OH)2. i.e the mole ratio is 1:1
Therefore, moles of M(OH)2 in 25cm3 = 0.001813 mole

(b) (i) Calculate the morality of M(OH)2 0.001873 moles are in 25cm3 of solution
Number of moles in 1000cm3 of solution will be (0.001873x 1000) = 0.07492
25
Hence the molarity of M(OH)2 is 0.75M.
(ii) Find the molecular mass of M(OH)2.
Molarity = Concentration in gl-1

      Relative mass

So relative molecular mass = Concentration in gl-1

                                    Molarity

                                        = 74

Hence the relative molecular mass of M(OH)2 is 74.

(c) Determine the relative atomic mass of M

 

M(OH)2 = 74

M+(16+1)x2 = 74

M+34 74

M = 74-34

M = 40.

 

Hence the relative atomic mass of M is 40.
