n(NaOH)used = 0.00645 L * 0.0500M = 0.000323 mol
since 1:1 ratio then n(NaOH)used = n(NH3)present in solution
0.000323 mol in 20.00 ml
0.000323 mol * (250/20) =0.00404 mol in 250 mL
convert to mass
m(NH3) = 0.00404 mol * 17 g mol-1 = 0.0686 g
% ammonia = 0.0686g/10.213g * 100 =0.672%
I'd please ask the kind vcenoters to check my working because i'm only 90% confident.
Just a question, but isn't the 0.000323 mol the amount of leftover HCl?
So:
20.00ml of 0.105M hydrochloric acid = 0.00210 mol (n = CV).
0.00210 - 0.000323 = 0.00178 mol of reacted HCl (with NH3).
The reacted HCl reacts in a 1 to 1 ratio with the NH3.
n(NH3) = 0.00178 mol
0.00178 x 250/20 = 0.0223 mol (in 250 ml solution).
n = m/M
m = n x M
m = 0.0223 x 17.0 = 0.38 g
0.38/10.213 x 100 = 3.7 %
I'm relatively new to back titrations so i'm not sure. Could someone please confirm the answer with me?
