Answer

$c(H_{3}AsO_{4}) = 0.1275M$ $V(H_{3}AsO_{4}) = 13.74ml$

Work Step by Step

$m(H_{3}AsO_{4}) = 8.6g$ $V = 475ml = 0.475 dm^3$ ----$c(H_{3}AsO_{4}) = \frac{n(H_{3}AsO_{4})}{V}=\frac{m(H_{3}AsO_{4})}{M(H_{3}AsO_{4})V}=\frac{8.6g}{142\frac{g}{mol}\times 0.475dm^3}=0.1275M$ The following is the reaction of neutralization of $H_{3}AsO_{4}$ by $NaOH$: $H_{3}AsO_{4} + 3NaOH \rightarrow Na_{3}AsO_{4} + 3H_{2}O$ Considering stoichiometric coefficients, we can observe that the amount of $H_{3}AsO_{4}$ is three times less than the amount of sodium - hydroxide required for the reaction. $n(H_{3}AsO_{4}) = \frac{n(NaOH)}{3} = \frac{c(NaOH)\times V(NaOH)}{3} = \frac{0.454 \frac{mol}{dm^3}\times 0.01158dm^3}{3}=0.00175244mol$ Knowing the concentration and amount of $H_{3}AsO_{4}$, we can easily obtained the required volume: $V(H_{3}AsO_{4}) = \frac{n(H_{3}AsO_{4})}{c(H_{3}AsO_{4})} = \frac{0.00175244mol}{0.1275\frac{mol}{dm^3}}=0.01374dm^3 = 13.74ml$
