The precipitate was not washed prior to drying. The filter paper was not wetted with water prior to filtering the precipitate. The student did not completely dry the precipitate before weighing it. A rubber policeman was not used to scrape precipitate from the beaker. The combined reactants were not stirred before filtering the precipitate. None of the above. X

You have been provided with a 30.0 mL sample of hydrochloric acid (HCl) of unknown concentration. You perform a titration with 1.48 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and find that 3.81 x 10-2 L are required to reach the equivalence point (as determined using a coloured indicator). What is the concentration of the hydrochloric acid?

Malic acid (C4H6O5) is a dicarboxylic acid that naturally occurs in the production of bignay wine. Maria was tasked to find out the acid content in a 200.0 mL wine sample by titrating it with a standardized solution of KOH. He was able to establish the working concentration of the KOH solution by using 39.12 mL of it to titrate a primary standard of KHP that weighed 3.021 g. The grams and %w/w of Malic acid present in the 200.0 mL wine sample were then determined by titrating a 20.00 mL aliquot using 48.95 mL of the standardized KOH solution. C4H6O5 (aq) + 2KOH (aq) ↔ K2C4H4O5 (aq) + 2H2O (l) Assume the density of the wine sample is 1.000 g/mL MM of KHP = 204.22 g/mol MM of C4H6O5 = 134.0874 g/mol What is the molar concentration of the prepared KOH solution?…
3. A 4.912-g sample of a petroleum product was burned in a tube furnace, and the SO2 produced was collected in 3% H₂O₂. Reaction: SO2(g) + H₂O2 → H₂SO4. A 25.00-mL portion of 0.00873 M NaOH was introduced into the solution of H₂SO4, following which the excess base was back-titrated with 15.17 mL of 0.01102 M HCI. Calculate the sulfur concentration in the sample in parts per million.
A 5.00-mL sample of vinegar was pipetted into a flask, two drops of phenolphthalein indicator were added, and the acid was titrated with 45.62 mL of 0.1008 M NaOH. If the density of the pipetted acetic acid solution was 1.004 g/mL, what was the percentage of acetic acid in the sample? MW HOAc =60.1 g/mol
A 185.0 mL sample of 1.200 M Pb(NO₃)₂ is mixed with 52.50 mL of 1.500 M NaCl, and the PbCl₂ precipitate is filtered from the solution. Then 200.0 mL of 3.000 M NaBr is added to the remaining solution, and the PbBr₂ precipitate is also collected and dried. What is the mass (in grams) of the PbBr₂ precipitate, assuming the yield in each precipitation step is 100%?

A sample consisting of Na2CO3, NaHCO3 and inert matter weighs 1.179 grams. It is titrated with 0.1 N HCl with phenolphthalein as the indicator, and the solution became colorless after the addition of 24.00 mL. Another duplicate sample was titrated with HCl using methyl orange as indicator. It required 50.25 mL of the acid for the color change from yellow to red. What are the percentage of Na2CO3 and NaHCO3 in the sample? Note [EXAMPLE IN THE IMAGE]
A chemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. He carefully weighs out 150. 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 his sodium hydroxide solution. When the titration reaches the equivalence point, the student finds he has used 77.1 mL of sodium hydroxide solution. Calculate the molarity of the student's sodium hydroxide solution. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. x10 M X 5 ?
