A 0.2722 g sample of a pure carbonate, X n CO 3 ( s ) , was dissolved in 50.0 mL of 0.1200 M HCl ( aq ) . The excess HCl ( aq ) was back titrated with 23.60 mL of 0.0980 M NaOH ( aq ) . How many moles of HCl react with the carbonate?

0.00369 moles of HCl react with carbonate.

Explanation:

Number of moles of HCl present initially = moles = 0.00600 moles

Neutralization reaction (back titration):

According to above equation, 1 mol of NaOH reacts with 1 mol of 1 mol of HCl.

So, excess number of moles of HCl present = number of NaOH added for back titration = moles = 0.00231 moles

So, mole of HCl reacts with carbonate = (Number of moles of HCl present initially) - (excess number of moles of HCl present) = (0.00600 - 0.00231) moles = 0.00369 moles

Hence, 0.00369 moles of HCl react with carbonate.

why is arctic sea ice important? arctic sea ice keeps the polar regions cool and moderate global climate. sea ice has a bright surface; 80 percent of the sunlight that strikes it is reflected back into space. as sea ice melts in the summer, it exposes the dark ocean surface.
