n this exercise, weighed samples of a solid unknown containing NaCl and NaHCO3 react with hydrochloric acid. The volume of the CO2 liberated by the reaction in the gas phase is measured with a gas collection syringe. From the volume we can calculate the number of moles of CO2 in the gas phase using the ideal gas approximation.

Since the CO2 is generated in an aqueous environment (aqueous HCl), some CO2 will dissolve in the liquid phase. The amount of CO2 dissolved in the liquid phase is computed using Henry's Law which requires knowing the partial pressure of CO2. As described in the exercise, this requires knowing the volume of the entire gas system ( VfTOT)

weight of sample (g) mixture before the start of the reaction = .179 g. Volume of CO2 gas (mL) that is produced by the reaction and is now contained in the syringe= 45.7 mL

1. How many mmols of CO2 have been produced in the syringe ?

Solutions

Expert Solution

ANSWER:

First write the balanced chemical reaction of NaHCO3 reacting with HCl to give CO2 and NaCl

NaHCO3 + HCl ------------> CO2 + NaCl + H2O

So, 1 mole of NaHCO3 will give 1 mole of CO2 .

Now, we have to convert the pressure from Torr to atm as units are in atm

1 atm =760 Torr

Now 45.7 mL of CO2 is contained in syringe. So, we have to convert this to number of moles of CO2

Using gas law, we have to convert gas produced at 26.5 degree to 25 degree (STP)

V1/T1 =V2/T2

So, we have

45.7/(273.15+26.5)= x/ (273.15+25)

X= 45.47 mL

Now, 1 mole of gas at STP occupies 22.4 L

Therefore number of moles of CO2 = 45.47*10-3/22.4 moles

=0.002 moles

Using Henry's law we get

S= KH p

where p is the pressure of CO2, KH is Henry's constant and s is the solubility of the gas

From ideal gas law,

PV=nRT

P= nRT/V = .002*0.0821* 299.65/ 45.7*10-3

P= 1.07 atm

Applying Henry's law

s=1.07 *3.2*10-2

s= 0.034 moles / L Volume of liquid =10 ml= 0.001 L

So, amount of gas dissolved =0.001* 0.034 =0.000034 moles

Total number of moles of CO2 = 0.002+ 0.000034 = 0.002034 moles

So 1 mole of CO2 gives 1 mole NaHCO3.

Number of moles of NaHCO3 = 0.002034

weight of NaHCO3. = 0.002034*84 = 0.170856 = 0.171g

So answer is 0.171
