A student titrates a 20.00 mL sample of an aqueous borax solution with 1.03 M H2SO4. If 2.07 mL of acid are needed to reach the equivalence point, then what is the molarity of the borax solution

The concentration of the borax solution is 0.1066 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Dtaa given

Volume of a sample of aqueous borax solution = 20.00 mL = 0.020 L

Molarity of H2SO4  = 1.03 M

Volume of the H2SO4 = 2.07 mL = 0.00207 L

Step 2: The balanced equation

Na2B4O7*10H2O(borax) + H2SO4 ⇆ Na2SO4 + 4 H3BO3 + 5 H2O

Step 3: Calculate molarity of borax solution

b*Ca*Va = a * Cb*Vb

⇒with B = the coefficient of H2SO4 = 1

⇒with Ca = the concentration of borax = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with Va = the volume of borax = 0.020 L

⇒with a = the coefficient of borax = 1

⇒with Cb = the concentration of H2SO4 = 1.03 M

⇒with Vb = the volume of H2SO4 = 0.00207 L

Ca*0.020 L = 1.03 M * 0.00207 L

Ca = (1.03 * 0.00207) / 0.020

Ca = 0.1066 M

The concentration of the borax solution is 0.1066 M

j

explanation:

hi,

the answer is d, it has indefinite shape but definite volume.

hope this !
