A diprotic acid, $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~B}(\mathrm{MM}=126 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol})$, is determined to be a hydrate, $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{~B} \cdot x \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} .$ A $10.00-\mathrm{g}$ sample of this hydrate is dissolved in enough water to make $150.0 \mathrm{~mL}$ of solution. Twenty-five milliliters of this solution requires $48.5 \mathrm{~mL}$ of $0.425 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaOH}$ to reach the equivalence point. What is $x$ ?

Key Concepts

Hydrates

A hydrate is a compound that includes water molecules integrated into its crystal structure in a specific stoichiometric ratio. Understanding hydrates involves determining how many water molecules are present per formula unit based on the change in molar mass when comparing the anhydrous substance to its hydrated form.

Acid-Base Titration

Acid-base titration is an analytical technique where a solution of known concentration (titrant) is gradually added to a solution of unknown concentration (analyte) until the reaction reaches the equivalence point. This process allows for the quantitative determination of the analyte's concentration via neutralization reactions.

Equivalence Point in Titration

The equivalence point is the stage in a titration when the amount of titrant added is exactly enough to completely react with the analyte based on the stoichiometry of the reaction. It represents the point of neutralization and is essential for accurate quantitative analysis.

Molarity and Dilution

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution and is a critical concept in solution chemistry. Dilution involves reducing the concentration of a solution by increasing its volume, which requires careful calculations to maintain the relationship between moles, volume, and concentration.

Mole Concept and Stoichiometry

The mole concept is fundamental in chemistry as it provides a bridge between the mass of a substance and the number of particles it contains. Stoichiometry uses mole ratios derived from balanced chemical equations to quantitatively relate reactants and products, enabling the determination of unknown quantities in chemical reactions.
