So I did a titration lab where were reacted various amounts of Mg with 10mL of HCL and then neutralized the raction with NaOH. I have my table of values for Mass of Mg (g), Initial Volume NaOH (mL), Final Volume NaOH (mL), End Point Volume (mL), Limiting Reagent (Mg or HCL). There is a Titration table I need to fill in that asks for Moles of Mg (mol), Moles of NaOH (mol) and Moles of H+ reacting with Mg (mol). I have the Moles of Mg calculated and I also have Moles of NaOH (mol) calculated but how do I go about finding Moles of H+ reacting with Mg. The manual says I can use: Moles of H+ total - moles of H+ excess = moles H+ reacting with metal. Where could I obtain those numbers.
I had in my notes to take Moles of Mg - Moles of NaOH and that gives the value but the problem with I am getting with that method is that if my limiting reagent is Mg then my Moles of H+ calculation ends up being a negative number.
My formula for calculating Moles of Mg is (Mass of Mg starting) * (1Mol/24.31g) = Moles of Mg
My formula for Calculating Moles of NaOh is: (End Point Volume)*(1L/1000mL)*(.3M HCL/1L) = Moles of NaOH
Thanks!
Some examples of my numbers would be
Moles of Mg = .001, Moles of NaOH = 8.58*10-3 so that gives me a -7.6*10-3 but I don't know if that is correct. Any help?
