A pure organic acid sample (0.1516 g) is neutralized with OH- ions produced in a constant current of 0.401 A in 5 minutes and 24 seconds. Calculate the equivalent weight of the acid.
After removing the membranes from an eggshell, the shell is dried and its mass recorded as 5.613 g. The eggshell is transferred to a 250-mL beaker and dissolved in 25 mL of 6M HCl. After filtering, the solution containing the dissolved eggshell is diluted to 250 mL in a volumetric flask. A 10.00-mL aliquot is placed in a 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask and buffered to a pH of 10. Titrating with 0.04988 M EDTA requires 44.11 mL to reach the end point. Determine the amount of calcium in the eggshells as % w/w CaCO3.
The Tl in a 9.76-g sample of rodenticide was oxidized to the trivalent state and treated with an unmeasured excess of Mg/EDTA solution. The reaction is Tl+3 + MgY-2 → TlY- + Mg+2 . Molecular mass: Tl2SO4 = 504.8 a. Titration of the liberated Mg2+ required 13.34-mL of 0.03560 N EDTA. The type of titration involved in the assay is (direct/indirect/residual) ______? b. percentage of Tl2SO4 in the sample is __________ %?
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid, C₆H₈O₆, 176.12 g/mol) can be measured by redox titration with iodine solution. Iodine is reduced to iodide ion, while ascorbic acid is oxidized to dehydroascorbic acid (C₆H₆O₆). The iodine solution is usually made in the presence of iodide ion, forming the more stable triiodide ion, I₃⁻, giving the following overall reaction C₆H₈O₆(aq) + I₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → C₆H₆O₆(aq) + 3I⁻(aq) + 2H⁺(aq) The titration is carried out in the presence of starch, which forms a dark blue complex with the excess iodine when the endpoint is reached. You are testing a new multivitamin pill for its vitamin C content. One pill weighing 0.763 g is dissolved in dilute acid and titrated with 0.0236 M I₃⁻ solution, requiring 28.3 mL to reach the endpoint. Calculate the percent by mass of vitamin C in the pill.
