if 16.9 mL of an acetic acid (HC2H3O2) solution are completely neutralized by 22.4 mL of 0.464 M Ba(OH)2 .
a. what is the molarity of the HC2H3O2? and
b.what is the molar concentration of barium ion in the resulting solution?
for a I have 0.615 M of HC2H3O2
and for b I havr 20.1 M but I think its off. please help
(a) 2CH3COOH (aq.) + Ba(OH)2 (aq.) ---------> (CH3COO)2Ba (aq.) + 2 H2O (l)
Using the neutralisation formula,
M1V1 / n1 = M2V2 / n2
M1 * 16.9 / 2 = 0.464 * 22.4 / 1
M1 = Molarity of acetic acid = 1.23 M
(b)
Ba(OH)2 (aq.) ---------> Ba2+ (aq.) + 2 OH- (OH)2 (aq.)
0.464 M 0.464 M
Molarity of Ba2+ ions in the resulting solution = 0.464 * 22.4 / (22.4 + 16.9) = 0.264 M
