Chemistry Exam Tomorrow
« on: January 15, 2009, 07:52:24 AM »
I have a couple of problems on our review sheet that I honestly haven't a single clue as to how to solve.

What volume of 0.0125 M HBr is required to titrate 250ml of 0.0100M Ca(OH)2? Write the equation.

-I have the equation so far I think.
     2 HBr + Ca(OH)2 -> CaBr2 + 2 H2O

Concentrated sulfuric acid with a density of 1.64 g/cm3 contains 97.5% H2SO4 by mass. Determine how many liters of this acid is required to manufacture 6500 Kg of fertilizer Ca(H2PO4)2 by this reaction.
 2 Ca5(PO4)3F + 7 H2SO4 + 14 H2O -> 3 Ca(H2PO4)2 + 7 CaSO4 + 2 H2O + 7 HF

-Well, I don't know how to solve it but I've managed to convert it into mol/L, if that's even how I'm supposed to start.

Thank you for reading and replying!  :)

OK, so how much calcium hydroxide have you added? Which means how much HBr do you need? Given that you have a concentration, and an amount, you can calculate a volume.

Concentrated sulfuric acid with a density of 1.64 g/cm3 contains 97.5% H2SO4 by mass. Determine how many liters of this acid is required to manufacture 6500 Kg of fertilizer Ca(H2PO4)2 by this reaction.

-Well, I don't know how to solve it but I've managed to convert it into mol/L, if that's even how I'm supposed to start.

6500 kg of fertiliser is how many moles? Which you need how many moles of acid to make?

If you've managed to calculate the molarity of the acid, you have an amount and a concentration so you can calculate a volume.

Thank you very much sjb. Once I read your reply it all become very, very obvious to me. But just to make sure I solved it right, I'll post my work.

1.

.250 L * .0100 mol Ca(OH)2/ 1 L * 2 mol HBr/ 1 mol Ca(OH)2 * 1 L / .0125 mol HBr = 0.400 L HBr

2.

6.5 * 106g Ca(H2PO4)2  * 1 mol/ 234.06 g * 7 mol H2SO4/ 3 mol Ca(H2PO4)2 = 64798.19989 mol H2SO4 (no sig. figs)

1.64 g H2SO4 / 1 cm3 * 97.5 g / 100 g * 103 cm3 / 1 L * 1 mol H2SO4 / 98.09 g H2SO4 = 1 L / 17.1 mol H2SO4

1 L / 17.1 mol H2SO4 * 64798.19989 mol H2SO4 = 3.98 * 103 L (3 sf)

Thank you again for the help :)
