Question

To determine the concentration of citric acid, you will need to titrate this solution with 0.100 M NaOH. You are given a 1.00 M NaOH stock solution and will need to make enough 0.100 M NaOH to perform 3 titrations. For each titration, you will use 20.0 mL of 0.100 M NaOH solution.

Calculate the total volume (in mL) of the diluted solution you will need to prepare for the 3 titrations.
Determine the minimum volume (in mL) of 1.00 M NaOH stock solution needed to prepare the 0.100 M NaOH solution.

Answer 1

60.0mL of the diluted solution are needed

6.00mL of the 1.00M NaOH stock solution is the minimum volume needed to prepare the diluted solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

As in each titration we need to use 20.0mL of the diluted 0.100M solution. As there are 3 titration, the volume must be:

3 * 20.0mL = 60.0mL of the diluted solution are needed

Now, to prepare a 0.100M NaOH solution from a 1.00M NaOH stock solution the dilution must be of:

1.00M / 0.100M = 10 times must be diluted the solution.

As we need at least 60.0mL, the minimum volume of the stock solution must be:

60.0mL / 10 times =

6.00mL of the 1.00M NaOH stock solution is the minimum volume needed to prepare the diluted solution.
