a.
Acids react with bases and give salt and water and the products.
Hence, HCl reacts with NaOH and gives NaCl salt and H₂O as the products. The reaction is,
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l)
To balance the reaction equation, both sides hould have same number of elements.
Left hand side, Right hand side,
H atoms = 2 H atoms = 2
Cl atoms = 1 Cl atoms = 1
Na atoms = 1 Na atoms = 1
O atoms = 1 O atoms = 1
Hence, the reaction equation is already balanced.
b.
Molarity (M)= moles of solute (mol) / Volume of the solution (L)
HCl(aq) + NaOH(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H₂O(l)
Molarity of NaOH = <span>0.13 M
</span>Volume of NaOH added = <span>43.7 mL
Hence, moles of NaOH added = 0.13 M x 43.7 x 10</span>⁻³ L
= 5.681 x 10⁻³ mol
Stoichiometric ratio between NaOH and HCl is 1 : 1
Hence, moles of HCl = moles of NaOH
= 5.681 x 10⁻³ mol
5.681 x 10⁻³ mol of HCl was in <span>26.9 mL.
Hence, molarity of HCl = </span>5.681 x 10⁻³ mol / 26.9 x 10⁻³ L
= 0.21 M
Using a more concentrated HCl solution and Crushing the CaCO₃ into a fine powder makes the reaction to occur at a faster rate.
<u>Explanation:</u>
CaCO₃(s) + 2HCl(aq) → CaCl₂(aq) + H₂O(aq) + CO₂(g)
When calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid, it gives out carbon-dioxide in the form of bubbles and there is a formation of calcium chloride in aqueous medium.
The rate of the reaction can be increased by
- Using a more concentrated HCl solution
- Crushing the CaCO₃ into a fine powder
When concentrated acid is used instead of dilute acid then the reaction will occur at a faster rate.
When CaCO₃ is crushed into a fine powder then the surface area will increases thereby increasing the rate of the reaction.
Using the combined gas law, where PV/T = constant, we first solve for PV/T for the initial conditions: (4.50 atm)(36.0 mL)/(10.0 + 273.15 K) = 0.57213.
Remember to use absolute temperature.
For the final conditions: (3.50 atm)(85.0 mL)/T = 297.5/T
Since these must equal, 0.57213 = 297.5/T
T = 519.98 K
Subtracting 273.15 gives 246.83 degC.
