PLANNING AIM: To determine the concentration of a limewater solution. You have been provided with 250cm3 of limewater, which contains approximately 1g dm-3 of calcium hydroxide. Hydrochloric acid is also available, which has a concentration of exactly 2.00 mol dm-3. In order to determine the concentration of the limewater solution I will have to carry out a titration experiment between the acid being hydrochloric acid, HCl and the base being the limewater, Ca(OH) 2. However before continuing on with the titration you need to dilute the HCl acid since it is too concentrated to use. In order for you to do this you will need to work out the concentration of Ca(OH) 2. Balanced Equation of the titration: 2HCl + Ca(OH)2 --> CaCl2 + 2H2O 2 moles 1 mole 2 mol dm-3 ? Ca(OH)2 is 1g dm-3= 1 gram per 1dm3 No. of moles in Ca(OH)2 = Mass / Relative formula mass (RFM) =...
