To neutralize a solution containing 16 g of sodium hydroxide, a solution of hydrochloric acid with a mass
To neutralize a solution containing 16 g of sodium hydroxide, a solution of hydrochloric acid with a mass fraction of a substance of 15% was spent calculate the mass of the spent acid solution
Find the amount of NaOH.
n = m: M.
M (NaOH) = 40 g / mol.
n = 16 g: 40 g / mol = 0.4 mol.
Let’s find the quantitative ratios of substances.
NaOH + HCl = NaCl + H2O.
1 mol of NaOH accounts for 1 mol of HCl.
Substances are in quantitative ratios 1: 1.
The amount of substance will be equal.
n (NaOH) = n (HCl) = 0.4 mol.
Find the mass of HCl.
m = n × M.
M (HCl) = 36.5 g / mol.
m = 36.5 g / mol × 0.4 mol = 14.6 g.
Find the mass of sulfuric acid in the solution.
W = m (substance): m (solution) × 100%,
hence m (solution) = m (substance): w) × 100%.
m (solution) = (14.6: 15) × 100% = 97.33 g.
Answer: 97.33 g.
