Pre Lab Exp.3

The document provides instructions for determining the molar mass of an unknown metal through a back-titration experiment. It explains that back-titration involves reacting a metal with excess acid, then titrating the remaining acid with a base to find how much acid reacted. It gives magnesium and hydrochloric acid as an example reaction. The procedure involves calculating the moles of initial and remaining acid to find the moles of acid and metal reacted. The document includes sample data and calculations to determine the molar mass of an unknown metal Y from its mass and moles reacted.

of an alkaline earth metal by
back-titration method.

INTRODUCTION
1. What is back-titration?
 A back titration is a titration method where the
concentration of an analyte is determined by reacting it with
a known amount of excess reagent.
 The remaining excess reagent is then titrated with another,
second reagent. The second titration's result shows how
much of the excess reagent was used in the first titration,
thus allowing the original analyte's concentration to be
calculated.
A back titration may also be called an indirect titration.
2. Give one example of alkaline earth metal and write the
equation for the reaction between the metal and HCl ?
Example of alkaline earth metal : Magnesium metal / Mg
Chemical Equation :

Mg (s) + HCl (aq) MgCl2 (aq) + H2 (g)


PROCEDURE
1. Explain briefly how to determine the molar mass of an
unknown metal by using back-titration method.
i. Determine the moles of an acid present before reaction occurs

n HCl given in 25 ml = ? mol


1. Explain briefly how to determine the molar mass of an
unknown metal by using back-titration method.
ii. After reaction with metal, determine the number of moles of
unreacted acid by titrating it with a base.

n HCl unreacted = ? mol


1. Explain briefly how to determine the molar mass of an
unknown metal by using back-titration method.
iii. Calculate the difference of mole of acid before and after the
reaction with metal.

n HCl given = ? mol n HCl reacted = n HCl given - n HCl unreacted n HCl unreacted = ? mol
= x mol of reacted HCl
1. Explain briefly how to determine the molar mass of an
unknown metal by using back-titration method.
iv. Calculate the number of moles of metal by using the balanced
stoichiometric equation between the metal and acid.

n HCl reacted = n HCl given - n HCl unreacted


= x mol of reacted HCl
DATA
ANALYSIS
A 0.2730 g sample of unknown metal, Y with oxidation number of +2, was
completely reacted with 25.00 mL of 0.50 M excess HCl. The remaining solution
required 4.15 mL of 1.00 M NaOH to reach end point. Calculate the,.

i. number of mole of HCl reacted with NaOH.


NaOH (aq) + HCl (aq) NaCl (aq) + H 2O (l)
Limiting reactant Excess reactant

=(0.5)(25)/1000
= 0.0125 mol
n NaOH given = MV/1000
=(1.0)(4.15)/1000
= 0.00415 mol
