A quantitative analysis for ethanol, C2H60, is accomplished by a redox back titration. Ethanol is oxidized to acetic acid, C2H40O2, using excess dichromate, Cr207 2- ', which is reduced to Crt. The excess dichromate is titrated with Fe2*, giving Cr* and Fe3+ as products. In a typical analysis, a 5.00-mL sample of a brandy is diluted to 500 mL in a volumetric flask. A 10.00-mL sample is taken and the ethanol is removed by distillation and collected in 50.00 mL of an 2- acidified solution of 0.0200 M K2Cr207. Titration of the unreacted Cr207 requires 21.48 mL of 0.1014 M Fe2+. Calculate the %w/v ethanol in the brandy. Which is the analyte in this problem? O C2H60 O cr207 2- O C2H402 O Fe2+

One way in which the useful metal copper is produced is by dissolving the mineral azurite, which contains copper(II) carbonate, in concentrated sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid reacts with the copper(II) carbonate to produce a blue solution of copper(II) sulfate. Scrap iron is then added to this solution, and pure copper metal precipitates out because of the following chemical reaction: Fe(s) + CuSO4(aq) → Cu(s) + FeSO4 (aq) Suppose an industrial quality-control chemist analyzes a sample from a copper processing plant in the following way. He adds powdered iron to a 350. mL copper(II) sulfate sample from the plant until no more copper will precipitate. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate, and finds that it has a mass of 111. mg. Calculate the original concentration of copper(II) sulfate in the sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. 0-2 X 5

Mercury as an amalgam with copper, silver, and tin is used fro fillings in teeth and in the production of chlorine. Soluble mercury compounds can be toxic and must be removed from wastewater. Aqueous mercury (II) nitrate is a toxic compound formed in wastewater and must be removed. To remove this compound, an aqueous sodium sulfide (Na2S) solution is added to wastewater to form a solid mercury (II) sulfide (HgS) precipitate and aqueous sodium nitrate in solution. From the analysis, 0.051 L of 0.010 M mercury (II) nitrate was reacted with 0.020 L of 0.10 M sodium sulfide. Write a balance equation for this chemical reaction. Determine the limiting reactant. How many grams of mercury (II) sulfide form? How many grams of excess reactant remain after the reaction is finished?
