xg of tartaric acid is dissolved in 30mL of 0.2M potash solution. The resultant mixture requires20ml of 0.1M HCl for titration. Report the numerical value of x.

Answer»

Solution :Tartaric ACID is a dibasic acid
HOOC-CHOH-CHOH-COOH
Gram molecular weight (GMW) = 150G , THEREFORE, GEW = 75g
m.eq . Of NaOH =m.eq . Of HCl
m.eq. of tartaric acid `=30xx0.2-20xx0.1=6-2=4`
Weight of tartaric acid DISSOLVED = Number m.eq`xx(75)/(1000)=(4xx75)/(1000)=0.3`
Numerical value of x=0.3
