Questions and Answers

How is the concentration of hydroxide ions ($OH^-$) determined from the equation $OH^- : N_1 V_1 = N_2 V_2$?

The concentration of $OH^-$ is calculated using the equation by substituting known values for $N_2$ and $V_2$, allowing us to solve for $N_1$.

What value is approximated for $OH^-$ after calculating $ rac{1}{20} imes(2.7)$?

The value approximated for $OH^-$ is 0.01.

Using the formula given, how do you calculate the strength of carbonate ions ($CO_3^{2-}$) in parts per million (PPM)?

The strength of $CO_3^{2-}$ is calculated as $0.05 imes 30 imes 1000 = 1500$ PPM.

What is the formula for calculating the concentration of OH⁻?

The formula for calculating the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH⁻) is based on the principle of equivalence: N₁V₁ = N₂V₂. In this context, N₁ and N₂ represent the normalities (concentrations) of the solutions, while V₁ and V₂ symbolize the volumes used.

How is V₁ calculated in the OH⁻ formula?

V₁ (the volume of the OH⁻ solution) is calculated using the equation: V₁ = (N₂V₂)/(V₁). Where N₂ represents the normality of the standard solution, V₂ represents the volume of the standard solution used in titration, and (P-M) represents the difference in volume readings from the burette.

How is the concentration of CO₃⁻² determined?

The concentration of carbonate ions (CO₃⁻²) is determined using the same equivalence principle: N₁V₁ = N₂V₂. The concentration of CO₃⁻² is then calculated multiplying its normality by the equivalent weight (30 for CO₃⁻²) and by 1000 to convert to parts per million (PPM).

What is the significance of N₁V₁ = N₂V₂?

The equation N₁V₁ = N₂V₂ represents the fundamental principle of equivalence in titrations. It signifies that the number of equivalents of the analyte (the substance you're measuring) reacts completely with an equivalent number of equivalents of the titrant (the standard solution).

What is the relationship between normality and PPM?

Normality (N) refers to the concentration of a solution expressed as the number of gram equivalents of solute per liter of solution. PPM (parts per million) represents the concentration of a substance measured as parts of that substance per million parts of the solution. Both are ways to express the strength of a solution but use different units.
