25.0 mL of 0.100 M NaX2COX3 is titrated with 0.100 M HCl using methyl orange (end point = complete conversion to COX2). The volume of HCl needed is:
A25.0mL
B12.5mL
C100.0mL
D50.0mL
Answer: D
At the methyl orange end point COX3X2− takes 2 HX+, so n-factor = 2. meq of carbonate =0.100×25.0×2=5.00; HCl volume = 5.00/0.100 = 50.0 mL.
