3. Suppose you wanted to design an experiment to test the composition of a mixture that includes sodium phenoxide (NaC6H5O). You know that this solid mixture contains both the NaC6H5O and some inert NaCl, but do not know how much of each is present. You decide to test the composition by titrating with 0.100-M HCl. a. If a 1.000-g sample is 25% NaC6H5O by mass, how many mL of 0.100-M HCl would be required to reach the equivalence point of the titration

21.5mL of a 0.100M HCl are required

Explanation:

The sodium phenoxide reacts with HCl to produce phenol and NaCl in a 1:1 reaction.

To solve this question we need to find the moles of sodium phenoxide. These moles = Moles of HCl required to reach equivalence point and, with the concentration, we can find the needed volume as follows:

Mass NaC6H5O:

1.000g * 25% = 0.250g NaC6H5O

Moles NaC6H5O -116.09g/mol-

0.250g NaC6H5O * (1mol/116.09g) = 2.154x10⁻³ moles = Moles of HCl required

Volume 0.100M HCl:

2.154x10⁻³ moles HCl * (1L/0.100mol) = 0.0215L =

idk i’m struggling too
