Ch.17 - Additional Aspects of Aqueous Equilibria
Chapter 17, Problem 104

A solid sample of Fe1OH23 is added to 0.500 L of 0.250 M aqueous H2SO4. The solution that remains is still acidic. It is then titrated with 0.500 M NaOH solution, and it takes 12.5 mL of the NaOH solution to reach the equivalence point. What mass of Fe1OH23 was added to the H2SO4 solution?

Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions. It involves using balanced chemical equations to determine the relationships between the amounts of substances consumed and produced. In this question, stoichiometry is essential for relating the moles of H2SO4 and NaOH to the moles of Fe(OH)2 involved in the reaction.

Titration

Titration is a laboratory technique used to determine the concentration of a solution by reacting it with a solution of known concentration. In this scenario, the titration of the acidic solution with NaOH allows for the determination of the amount of acid present, which can then be used to find the mass of Fe(OH)2. The equivalence point indicates that the acid and base have reacted completely.

Molar Mass

Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, typically expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). It is crucial for converting between moles and grams in stoichiometric calculations. To find the mass of Fe(OH)2 added to the H2SO4 solution, one must first calculate the moles of Fe(OH)2 based on the titration results and then use its molar mass to convert moles to grams.
