The label of a bottle containing a commercial hydrobromic acid solution shows, among others,
the following indications:
46 % by mass of HBr; density: 1.47 g.mL-1.
The aim of this exercise is to perform an acid-base study of a dilute aqueous hydrobromic acid
solution.
1.1- Show that the molar concentration of the commercial solution is C0 = 8.35 mol.L -1.
1.2- Describe the experimental procedure to be followed in order to prepare 1 L of a solution (S)
by diluting the commercial solution 200 times .
The solution (S) is added, progressively, into a beaker containing a volume Vb = 10.0 mL of an
ammonia solution (NH3) of concentration Cb, in the presence of an appropriate colored indicator.
The volume of the acid added to reach equivalence is VaE= 12ml

3- Preparation of a Buffer Solution
Determine the volume V1 of the solution (S) that should be added to a volume V2 = 50 mL of the
ammonia solution of concentration Cb in order to prepare a buffer solution of pH = 9.0
Available are two flasks: one containing glacial (pure) ethanoic acid and the other contains a
liquid of a pure saturated noncyclic chain organic compound (A).
The aim of this exercise is to identify the organic compound (A) then to study its reaction with
ethanoic acid.
In order to identify the chemical family of the compound (A), the experiments listed below are
carried out:
Moreover, a study of the compound (B) shows that the molecule of the compound (B) contains only
carbon, hydrogen and chlorine.
2- Esterification Reaction
A mixture of 0.5 mol of ethanoic acid and of 0.5 mol of the compound A is heated. At equilibrium, a
quantity of 0.3 mol of an ester E of molecular formula C6H12O2 is obtained.
A solution (S) is prepared by mixing a volume 100 mL of a potassium iodide solution(K+ + I-) of
concentration C1 = 0.80 mol.L -1 with a volume 100 mL of sodium peroxydisulfate solution
(2 Na+ + S2O 82 ) of concentration C2 = 0.20 mol.L-1.
A brown color is observed which intensifies with time representing a complete reaction that takes
place according to the following equation:
S2O 82 + 2 I – → 2 SO 24 + I2
At different time intervals, a precise volume of the solution (S) is taken and the iodine formed is
titrated,in the presence of starch solution, using a sodium thiosulfate solution(2 Na+ + S2O 32 )
according to the equation:
I2 + 2 S2O 32 → 2 I – + S4O 62
Given:
- Fe2+ is a catalyst for the reaction of formation of iodine.
- M (Na2S2O3. 5 H2O) = 248 g.mol-1
The sodium thiosulfate solution, used to titrate iodine, is prepared by dissolving a mass
m = 25.0 g of the hydrated powder (Na2S2O3.5H2O) in distilled water in order to have a solution
of volume V = 500.0 mL.
1.1- List the essential materials needed to carry out this preparation.
1.2- Calculate the molar concentration C of this solution.
2- Titration of Iodine
2.1- Propose, by justifying, an experimental way to stop the formation of iodine in each
volume taken before carrying out titration.
2.2- Specify the color change at equivalence.
3- Kinetic Study

3.2- The experimental study shows that this reaction ends at t = 70 min.
3.2.1- Define the half- life time of the reaction
3.2.2- Choose, by justifying, among the three following proposals, the appropriate one for the
half-life time :
t 1/2 = 35 min ; t 1/2 > 35 min ; t 1/2 < 35 min.
3.3- The interval of time ∆t denotes the end time of reaction for each of the reacting mixtures
considered in the table below:
