[TABULATE]

Burette Reading (cm³) | Rough | Titration I | Titration II
Final Reading (cm³) | 21.50 | 43.00 | 22.00
Initial Reading (cm³) | 0.00 | 21.50 | 00.00
Volume of A used (cm³) | 21.50 | 21.50 | 22.00

(1ai)
Average Volume of acid used = 21.50 + 21.50/2 = 21.50cm³

(1aii)
Solution B[Sodium trioxocarbonate (iv)] feels soapy

(1bi)
Conc. B in mol/dm³ =?
Ca= 0.04, Va= 21.50cm³, na= 1
Cb= ? , Vb= 25.00cm³ nb= 1

CaVa/CbVb = na/nb = 0.04×21.50/Cb×25.00 = 1/1
Cb= 0.04×21.50/25.00 = 0.86/25.00
Cb= 0.0344mol/dm³

(1bii)
Conc. of B in g/dm³ = Conc. of B in mol/dm³ × molar mass of B

Molar mass of B(NaCO₃)= (23×2) + 12 + (16×3) = 106

:. Conc. of B in g/dm³ = 0.0344×106 = 3.6g/dm³

(1biii)
1 mole of Na₂Co₃ = 1mole of Na₂So₄

:. 0.0344 mole of Na₂Co₃ = 0.0344 mole of Na₂So₄
№ of mole= mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of Na₂So₄= (23×2)+32+(16×4)=142
:. 0.0344 = mass/142
Mass=142×0.0344=4.9g

(1biv)
1 mole of Na₂Co₃= 1 mole of CO₂

0.0344 mole of Na₂Co₃ = 0.0344 mole of CO₂
:. № of mole = volume/ molar volume = 0.0344 = volume of CO₂/22400cm³
=771cm³
