Question

1.575 grams of C2H2O4.xH2O is dissolved in water and its volume is made up to 250ml. On titration, 16.68ml of this solution requires 25ml of (1/15) Normal NaOH solution for complete neutralisation.
Find x.
Explain the processes and calculations.

Solution

Hi,The neutralisation reaction between oxalic acid and NaOH may be represented as COOH2.xH2O + NaOH = 2COONa + x+2H2O1 mole of oxalic acid requires 2 moles of NaOH25 ml of N15NaOH solution requires =0.025 ×115 mol L-1 = 1.67 ×10-3 moles1.67 ×10-3 moles of NaOH neutralise 1.67 ×10-3 moles2of oxalic acid Molarity of 250 ml of oxalic acid = 0.835×10-3 moles0.01668 l= 0.05 M0.250 L×0.05 M = 0.0125 moles of oxalic acid is equivalent to 1.575 g of oxalic acid.1 mole of oxalic acid is = 1.575 g0.0125 moles= 126 g/ molso, Molar mass of oxalic acid COOH2.xH2O= 126 g/ mol90 + 80 x = 12618x = 126 -90 = 36x= 2 COOH2.2H2ORegards
