A 25.0 mL aliquot of 0.0630 M EDTA was added to a 30.0 mL solution containing an unknown concentration of V3+. All of the V3+ present in the solution formed a complex with EDTA, leaving an excess of EDTA in solution. This solution was back-titrated with a 0.0360 M Ga3+ solution until all of the EDTA reacted, requiring 13.0 mL of the Ga3+ solution. What was the original concentration of the V3+ solution?

0.0369M of V³⁺

Explanation:

The moles of EDTA added to the solution containing V³⁺ are:

0.025L ₓ (0.0630mol / L) = 0.001575 moles of EDTA.

The excess of EDTA was titrated with Ga³⁺. Moles required of Ga³⁺ = Moles in excess of EDTA are:

0.013L ₓ (0.0360mol / L) = 0.000468 moles.

That means initial moles of EDTA that react with V³⁺ solution are:

0.001575 moles - 0.000468 moles = 0.001107 moles of EDTA = moles of V³⁺

As volume of the solution was 30.0mL = 0.0300L, the concentration of the solution of V³⁺ is:

0.001107 moles V³⁺ / 0.0300L = 0.0369M of V³⁺

answers: to make sure that all of the broken pieces of tablet were added to the water, to allow for fair comparison of all three trials, with different particle sizes to avoid experimental error

because natural gas is colorless, odorless, and tasteless, distributors add mercaptan (a chemical that smells like sulfur) to give natural gas a distinct unpleasant odor (it smells like rotten eggs). they locate the types of rock that are likely to contain natural gas deposits.
