An analyst in a laboratory performs a titration to determine the concentration of a sodium carbonate (Na2CO3\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3Na2CO3) solution.
The analyst measures 25.0 cm325.0\text{ cm}^325.0 cm3 of the sodium carbonate solution with a concentration of 4.24 g/dm34.24\text{ g/dm}^34.24 g/dm3. Calculate the mass of sodium carbonate in this sample. Use the conversion: 1 dm3=1000 cm31\text{ dm}^3 = 1000\text{ cm}^31 dm3=1000 cm3.
During the titration, the following volumes of dilute hydrochloric acid were recorded to neutralize the sodium carbonate:
Identify the anomalous trial and calculate the mean volume of acid used, using only the concordant results.
