A quantitative analysis for ethanol, C2H60, is accomplished by a redox back titration. Ethanol is oxidized to acetic acid, C2H402, using excess dichromate, Cr207 2-, which is reduced to Cr3+. The excess dichromate is titrated with Fe2+, giving Cr3+ 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 titrant in this problem? O C2H4O2 O Fe2+ C2H60 Cr207 2-

A chemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. She carefully weighs out 13.mg of oxalic acid H2C2O4, a diprotic acid that can be purchased inexpensively in high purity, and dissolves it in 250.mL of distilled water. The student then titrates the oxalic acid solution with her sodium hydroxide solution. When the titration reaches the equivalence point, the student finds she has used 11.9mL of sodium hydroxide solution. Calculate the molarity of the student's sodium hydroxide solution. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

40 ml of a 0.100 M sodium phosphate solution is mixed with 40 ml of a 0.200 M cobalt (II) nitrate solution, generating a fine purple solid. The solid is removed via filtration and the liquid is saved. Given that nitrate compounds are always soluble and phosphate compounds are generally insoluble, what chemical species are present in the precipitate and in the supernatant? Explain your answer.
