A student was asked to determine the concentration of ammonia, a volatile substance used in the clinical setting as a respiretory stimulant to prevent fainting. First the student pipetted 25.00 mL of the cloudy ammonia solution into a 250.0 mL conical flask. 50.00 mL of 0.100 mol L’ HCl(aq) was immediately added to the conical flask which reacted with the ammonia in solution. The excess (unreacted) HCI was then titrated with 0.050 mol L- Na2CO3(aq). 21.50 mL of Na2CO3(aq) was required. Calculate the concentration of the ammonia in the cloudy ammonia solution.
