    Calculating number of moles of water of crystallization

    The water of crystallization present in compounds does not take part in the
    reaction
    1. Calculate the number of moles of water of crystallization in oxalic acid
    crystals, H2C2O4.xH2O from the following data.
    5.0g 0f the crystals were made up to 250cm3 of aqueous solution and 25cm3 of this
    solution required 15.9 cm3 of 0.5M NaOH solution to neutralize it.
    Solution
    Equation for the reaction
    2NaOH(aq) + H2C2O4(aq) Na2C2O4(aq) + 2H2O(l)
    1000cm3 of solution contains 0.5moles of NaOH
    1 cm3 of solution contains ( ⁄) moles of NaOH
    15.9 cm3 of solution contains ( ⁄)moles of NaOH
    =0.00795 moles of NaOH
    From the equation
    2 mole of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of H2C2O4,
    0.00795 moles of NaOH reacts with ( ⁄) moles of H2C2O4
    =0.003975 moles of H2C2O4
    25.0cm3 of solution contains 0.003975moles of H2C2O4
    1cm3 of solution contains ( ⁄) moles of H2C2O4
    1000cm3 of solution contains ( ⁄) moles of H2C2O4 =0.159 M H2C2O4
    The concentration of the H2C2O4is 0.159mol/dm3
    250cm3 of solution dissolves 5 g of oxalic acid
    1cm3 of solution contains ( ⁄)g of oxalic acid
    1000cm3 of solution contains ( ⁄)g of oxalic acid
    =20g/l of the oxalic acid.
    The mass of a oxalic acid in 1 litre is 20g.
    RMM of the oxalic acid
    0.159 moles of H2C2O4.xH2O weighs 20g
    1 mole of H2C2O4.xH2O weighs( ⁄)g
    =125.79g
    The RMM of H2C2O4.XH2O is 125.79≈ 126
    There fore
    H2C2O4.xH2O = 126
    1x2+12x2+16x4+ x(1x2+16) =126
    90+18x =126
    18x=126-90

    18x=36
    X=2.
    The formula of the oxalic acid is H2C2O4.2H2O
    2. 0.465g of a hydrated form of sodium carbonate exactly reacts with 75cm3 of 0.10M
    hydrochloric acid. Calculate the number of moles of water of crystallization
    present in one mole of the hydrated salt.
    Solution
    Equation for the reaction
    2HCl(aq) + Na2CO3(aq) NaCl(aq) +H2O(aq) + CO2(g)
    1000cm3 of solution contains 0.1moles of HCl
    1 cm3 of solution contains ( ⁄) moles of HCl
    75cm3 of solution contains ( ⁄) moles of HCl
    =0.0075 moles of HCl
    From the equation
    2 mole of HCl reacts with 1 mole of Na2CO3
    0.0075 moles of HCl reacts with ( ⁄) moles of Na2CO3 =0.00375 moles of Na2CO3
    RMM of Na2CO3
    =23x2+12+16x3
    =106
    1 mole of Na2CO3 weighs 106g
    0.00375 moles of Na2CO3 weighs ( ⁄) g
    =0.3975g of Na2CO3
    Mass of water contained=(0.465-0.3975)g=0.0675g
    The mole ratio of Na2CO3 : H2O is obtained by dividing each by the molar mass of
    the compound i.e. mole ratio of Na2CO3 : H2O= : =1:1
    The formula is Na2CO3.H2O
    Calculating basicity of acids
    Basicity of an acid is the number of hydrogen ions that can be produced by one
    molecule of the acid upon complete ionization. It is not the number of hydrogen
    atoms in one molecule of an acid.
    Example
    1. Calculate the basicity of an acid HnZ if 15cm3 of 0.1M acid is completely
    neutralized by 9cm3 of 0.5 M potassium hydroxide.
    Number of moles of the acid
    1000cm3 of solution contains 0.1moles of HnZ
    1 cm3 of solution contains ( ⁄) moles of HnZ
    15cm3 of solution contains ( ⁄) moles of HnZ
