5. Distinguish between Primary standard solution and secondary standard solution.

> Following are the distinction between primary standard solution and secondary

standard solution:

 

Primary standard solution

It is prepared by dissolving pure substance which is not affected in its

composition for a long time.

 

Example: Oxalic acid, Na2CO3, AgNO3,

KCI etc.

 

Secondary standard solution

It is prepared by neutralizing against the primary standard solution.

 

Example: NaOH, HCI, H2SO4, HNO3 ,KMnO4 etc.

 

6. Define the terms:

i Primary standard solution

ii. Acidimetry

i. Primary standard solution: The substances whose standard solution can be prepared

directly by dissolving the known weight of substance in certain volume of solution is

called primary standard substance and the solution made from primary standard

substance is called primary standard solution. Example: solution of oxalic acid.

 

ii. Acidimetry: The method of determining the strength of acid by titrating it with the

known volume of standard alkali solution is called acidimetry.

 

7.What is the importance of calculating normality factor of solutions during

titration?

 >In order to minimize the experimental error, normality factor of solution is calculated

during titration. Normality factor (f) is the ratio of observed weight of substance and

theoretical weight of substance.

 

Normality factor (f) = Observed weight / Theoretical weight

 

10. Define the terms:

i Normality factor

li. Secondary standard solution.

 

i. Normality factor: The ratio of actual weight of substance taken to the theoretical weight

of substance to be taken is called normality factor. It is denoted by symbol 'f'.

 

Normality factor (f) = Weight taken / Weight to be taken

 

ii. Secondary standard solution: The solution whose strength is to be determined with the

help of primary standard solution is called secondary standard solution

 

11. Why is crystal oxalic acid regarded as a good substance for the preparation of primary standard solution?

> Oxalic acid is regarded as primary substance because it is available in pure state, non toxic, high equivalent weight, non-hygroscopic and deliquescent. So, it is used for the preparation of primary standard solution in titration.

 

12. how could you convert 500cc of 2MH2SO4 into

i. Gram/liter      ii.  Normality 

 

> Given, 

 volume of H2SO4 = 500cc

Molecular weight of H2SO4 = 98

Equivalent weight of H2SO4 = 49

Molarity of H2SO4 = 2M

 

i.Gram/L = Molarity X Molecular weight  = 2 X 98 = 196 g/L

 

ii.Normality = Gram/L   by Equivalent weight = 196/49 = 4N

 

13. Which one has higher concentration and why ?

      a. 80g / liter NaOH solution and 3M NaOH solution.

      b. 5.3g / liter Na2CO3 and N/10 Na2CO3 solution.

a. > Given,

g/liter of NaOH= 80 g/litre

Equivalent weight of NaOH = 40 = Molecular weight 

we know that,

Normality = g/liter by Equivalent weight =  80/40 = 2N of NaOH

Given,

Molarity of NaOH = 3M = 3N of NaOH

Hence, Concentration of 3M NaOH is higher than 80 g/liter NaOH solution. 

 

b. > Given,

g/liter of Na2CO3 = 5.3 g/liter

Molecular weight of Na2CO3 = 106

Equivalent weight of Na2CO3  = 53

We know that,

Normality = g/liter by Equivalent weight = 5.3/53 = 0.1 N of Na2CO3

Given,  the normality of Na2CO3 = N/10 = 0.1 N

Hence, the concentration of both 5.3 g/liter Na2CO3 and N/10 Na2CO3 are same.

 

15. A sample of Na2CO3 weighing 0.53 g is added to 101 ml of 0.1 N H2SO4  solution. Will the resulting solution be acidic, basic or neutral ?

> Given, 

Weight of Na2CO3 = 0.53g

Equivalent weight of Na2CO3 = 53 

From Normality solution,

1000 ml of Na2CO3 of 1 N requires 53 g of Na2CO3.

100 ml of Na2CO3 of 0.1 N requires 0.53 g of Na2CO3

For complete neutralization 

100 ml of Na2CO3 of 0.1 N = 100 ml of H2SO4  of 0.1 N

We know that,

 Equal volume of acid neutralizes equal volume of base, if acid and base have the same normality. So, 100 ml oh H2SO4  of 0.1 N neutralizes 100 ml of Na2CO3 of 0.1 N. Thus, 1 ml. of acid is left unreacted and the resulting solution must be acidic.

 

16. Calculate the normality and molarity of 5% of NaOH solution.

> Given, weight of NaOH means 5g of NaoH is dissolve in 100 cc of solution

Given;

Weight of NaOH=5 g

Volume of solution = 100 cc.

Equivalent weight = Molecular weight of NaOH = 40

We know that, 

Normality (N) = No. of g equivalent weight of solute / Volume of solution in litre = weight of solute/ Equivalent weight by Volume of solution in litre   =  5/40 // 100/1000

                                                                                         =5/40×10 = 5/4 = 1.25 N

The equivalent  weight = Molecular weight of NaOH. So, normality is equal to normality.

N = M = 1.25

Hence, Normality (N) = Molarity (M) = 1.25

 

17. What mass of 90% pure CaCO3 is required to neutralize 2 liter deci-normal solution of HCL? 

> Given,

2 liter 0.1 N HCL = 0.2 liter 1N HCL = 200 ml 1N HCL 

Volume of HCL = 200 ml 

Normality oh HCL = 1N

Equivalent weight of CaCO3 = 100/2 = 50

Weight of CaCO3 (W) =?

We know that,

W = NEV/1000 = 1×50×200 /1000 =10 g

Let, X g of 90% = 10g 

Or, X 90/100 = 10

Or, X = 10×100/90 = 11.11 g

Hence, 11.11 g of 90% pure CaCO3 is required to neutralize 2 liter of deci-normal solution of HCL.

 

18. how many moles of H2SO4 are required to neutralize 4 litres of 2N NaOH solution ?

> Given,

4 liters of 2N NaOH = 8 liters of 1N NaOH 

Volume of NaOH = 8 liter = 8000 ml.

Normality of NaOH = 1N

Equivalent weight of H2SO4 =49

Weight required for H2SO4 (W) = ?

We know that,

W = NEV/1000 = 1×49×8000 / 1000 = 392g

Molecular weight of H2SO4 = 98 g

So, no. of moles of H2SO4 = Given weight/ Molecular weight = 392/98 = 4 mol.

Hence, 4 mol of H2SO4 are required to neutralize 4 liters of 2N NaOH solution.

 

19. Define the term 

 i. Semi normal solution    ii.  Alkalimetry 

> Semi normal solution :- If the half gram equivalent of solute is present in one liter of solution then it is called semi normal  solution.

It is denoted by N/2

> Alkalimetry :- The method of determining the strength of alkali by titrating it with the known volume of standard acid solution is called alkalimetry .

 

20. Define secondary standard solution with a suitable example.

> The solution made from secondary standard substance is called secondary standard solution.

Example : HCL solution.

 

21. Write an example of redox titration. Why is it called so ?

> Example of redox reaction is 

2KMnO4 + 5C2H2O4 +3H2SO4            K2SO4 + 2 MnSO4 + 10 CO2 +8H2O

Here, KMnO4 is reduced to MnSO4 and C2H2O4 is oxidized to CO2 and H2O. So, this reaction is called redox titration.

 

22. What is the normality of 20 cc of 2 M phosphoric acid (H3PO4) ?

> Molarity of H3PO4 = 2 M

Basicity of H3PO4 = 3 

Normality of 20 cc of H3PO4 = ?

We know that,

Normality = Molarity × basicity of acid = 2×3 = 6 N

So, the normality of 20 cc of H3PO4  is 6N.

 

23. What is normality ? How is it related with molarity ?

> Normality (N) :- If the equivalent weight of a substance is expressed in gram is called gram equivalent. It is defined as the number of gram equivalent of solute present in one liter of its solution. It is denoted by (N).

Normality (N) = No. of gram equivalent weight of solute / Volume of solution in liter = weight of solute in g/ Equivalent weight of solute × 1000/volume of solution in ml.

Normality is related with molarity as ;

Normality (N) = Molarity (M) × basicity of acid or acidity of base.

 

24. What do you mean by equivalent weight of an element ?

> The equivalent weight of an element is that parts by weight of it which combines with or displace from a compound 1.008 part by weight of hydrogen or 8 parts by weight of oxygen or 35.5 part by weight of chlorine.

 

25. What are the requisites for a substance to be a primary standard ?

> Following are the requisites for a substance to be a primary standard.

a. They should have high molecular and equivalent weight.

b. They should be easily available and highly purity.

c. They should be non-volatile, non-toxic, non-hygroscopic in nature.

d. They should be highly soluble in water.

 

 

26. Define decinormal solution.

> A solution containing 1/10th of gram equivalent of solute present in one liter of solution is known as decinormal solutions. 

 

27. Are all standard solutions, primary standard solutions or not? Give reason.  1g of a divalent metal was dissolved in 25 mL of 2N H2SO4 (f = 1.01). The excess acid required 15.1mL of 1N NaOH (f = 0.8) for complete neutralization. Find the atomic weight of the metal.
> Not, all satandard solutions are not primary standard solution. To be a primary
standard, a substance must fulfill the following criteria:
i. The substance must be easy to obtain and purity
ii. The substance should not be hygroscopic or efflorescent of deliquescent.
iii. The composition should not change during storage or weighing.
iv. The substance should be readily soluble under the employed condition
v. The substance should have high molecular mass.
Numerical:
Given,
The weight of metal =1g
The valency of metal =2
For acid:
Volume of acid (H2SO4) = 25 mL
Normality of acid =2N (f=1.01)
We know that
The gram equivalent of H2SO4 =Volume ×Normality /1000=25 x 2 x 1.01/1000=0.0505

For base:
Volume of base (NaOH) = 15.1 mL
Normality of acid = 1N (f=0.8)
We know that
The gram equivalent of NaOH=Volume x Normality/1000= 15.1 x 1 x 0.8/1000=0.01208
For Metal:
Weight of metal
The gram equivalent of metal =weight of metal / Equivalent weight of metal=1/Equivalent of metal
We know that
The gram equivalent of metal =The gram equivalent of H2SO4 - The gram equivalent of NaOH
1/Equivalent weight of metal = (0.0505 -0.01208) = 0.03842
Or, Equivalent weight of metal = 26.02
Hence, the atomic weight of metal= Equivalent weight × Valency = 26.02 ×2 = 52.05 amu.
