JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2021 - 18th March Evening Shift - No. 15)

10.0 mL of Na2CO3 solution is titrated against 0.2 M HCl solution. The following titre values were obtained in 5 readings :

4.8 mL, 4.9 mL, 5.0 mL, 5.0 mL and 5.0 mL

Based on these readings, and convention of titrimetric estimation the concentration of Na2CO3 solution is ___________ mM.

(Round off to the Nearest Integer).
Answer
50

Explanation

From the given value of HCl, it is clear that most appropriate volume of HCl used is 5 ml because it occurs most number of times.

Na2CO3 + 2 HCl $$ \to $$ 2 NaCl + CO2 + H2O

n factor of Na2CO3 = 2

n factor of HCl = 1

equivalent of Na2CO3 = equivalent of HCl

$$ \Rightarrow $$ $${{10} \over {1000}} \times 2 \times M = {5 \over {1000}} \times 1 \times 0.2$$

$$ \Rightarrow M = {1 \over {20}}M$$

= 0.05 M

= 50 $$\times$$ 10$$-$$3 M

= 50 mM
