1. Explain the benefit of letting the solutions of HCl(aq) and NaOH(aq) sit overnight. 2. When using the same graduated cylinder to measure the volumes of HCl(aq) and NAOH(aq), it is important to rinse the cylinder with water and a small amount of the second reactant before measuring the volume of the second reactant. Explain why this is important for this investigation. 3. Describe how to perform each of the following safely: • diluting a strong acid solution with water • dissolving a solid base in water • adding a solution of base to a solution of acid

13. A chemistry student offers a possible improvement to this lab. Since one goal of this lab is to determine the mass of the precipitate produced, wouldn't it be possible to measure the mass of an empty beaker, mix the solutions, and boil off the water until it is entirely evaporated, leaving only solid behind? Then the beaker with the precipitate could be weighed, and the difference between this mass and that of the empty beaker would be the mass of the precipitate. This would eliminate the need for the filtration step. Explain why this is a poor suggestion. Remember to check your reasoning on this question and all other questions with your instructor.
6. Sodium sulfide reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce hydrogen sulfide and sodium chloride. How many grams of sodium sulfide are required for complete reaction with 15.0 mL of 0.250 M hydrochloric acid? The molar mass of sodium sulfide is 78.046 g/mol.

Ammonium oxalate dissociates when it dissolves in water. If the concentration of the oxalate ions is 3.2 mol/L, then what is the concentration of the ammonium oxalate solution? Record only your numerical answer with the correct number of significant digits. You do not need to include units as the units appear for you beside the answer box already.
What happens when potassium iodide is added to a solution of lead nitrate? Potassium nitrate precipitates out. Lead iodide precipitates out. Gaseous lead iodide forms. Nothing - there is no reaction between potassium iodide and lead nitrate.
Suppose 31.0 mL of 0.510 M CoCl2 solution is added to 72.0 mL of 0.180 M NiCl2 solution. Calculate the concentration, in moles per liter, of each of the ions present after mixing. Assume that the volumes are additive. Concentration of Co2+ = mol/L Concentration of Ni2+= mol/L Concentration of Cl- = mol/L
A sample of 3.0600 grams contains a mixture of sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate. This sample was dissolved with 92.81 mL hydrochloric acid, heated to completely remove the reaction gases. After cooling to room temperature, this solution is put in a volumetric flask and diluted to a volume exactly 100.00 mL. This solution is acidic. a. Write down the equation for the ionic reaction in the process of dissolving the sample of the carbonate mixture. The excess acid in the dissolving process is neutralized by alkaline, how: 10.00 mL of the mixed solution is titrated with 0.1072 M sodium hydroxide solution and 37.31 mL is needed to neutralize it properly. b. Write down the equation for this neutralizing reaction. The titrated solution is reacted with an excess of ammonium oxalate, (NH4) 2C2O4, to separate the calcium ions. The resulting precipitate was filtered, washed and dried and then weighed as much as 0.2560 g. c. Write down the equation for the reaction in this calcium separation…
