An approximately 0.1 M NaOH solution is made by adding 4.0 g of solid NaOH to 1000 mL. of water. The precise concentration of the solution is determined by titrating the NaOH against portions of a weak acid, potassium acid phthalate (KHP) obtained from the National Bureau of Standards and certified as being 99.99% pure. The KHP samples are weighed by difference on a balance. How would the calculated NaOH concentration be affected (in comparison with the true concentration), if: (does it become greater, smaller, or unchanged) 1. The KHP was not dried prior to weighing? 2. The balance always read high, but in proportion to the weight recorded?

Someone is attempting to measure the H3PO4(aq) content of an unknown solution by both titration with NaOH(aq) and calorimetry. The person measures 100 mL of stock NaOH(aq) solution into a buret but forgets to write down its concentration. They then measure out 50.0 mL of unknown H3PO4(aq) solution (which has an indicator) and places this solution in a constant-pressure calorimeter for the titration experiment. The initial temperature of all the solutions is 22.9 Celsius. The student adds 46.84 mL of NaOH(aq) from the buret to the H3PO4(aq) solution in the calorimeter to reach the equivalence point (color change for indicator). The final solution temperature is 33.5 Celsius. Assume density and specific heat of all solutions are the same as that of pure water and that volumes are additive. a) what is the balanced molecular equation for the acid-base reaction that takes place in the calorimeter? b) Calculate delta HRXN (enthralpy) for the above acid-base reaction c) what is the…
(TOPIC: Gravimetry multi-component analysis) A 0.8612-g sample of a mixture of sodium bromide, sodium iodide, and sodium nitrate is analyzed by adding silver nitrate and precipitating a 1.0186-g mixture of silver bromide and silver iodide. The precipitate is then heated in a stream of chlorine gas, which converts it to 0.7125 g of silver chloride. Calculate the %w/w nitrate in the sample.
The solubility product constant for a certain metal sulfide, M2S is Ksp = 2.9 × 10−23. Its molar mass is ℳ = 281.68 g/mol. What is its solubility in mol/L? Report your answer to TWO significant figures. Enter your answer in scientific notation using the appropriate boxes. Remember, a number like 1.6, in scientific notation is 1.6 × 100. Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible.
What do you understand about the manufacture of chemical solutions? How to (a) make 1000 mL of 0.2 N hydrochloric acid solution from 1 N standard solution and (b) make 100 mL of 0.5 N sodium hydroxide secondary standard solution (known BM = 40 g / mL)? Explain!
Sodium hydroxide is extremely soluble in water. At a certain temperature, a saturated solution contains 565 g NaOH(s) per liter of solution. Calculate the molarity of this saturated NaOH(aq) solution.
A chemist performs a gravimetric analysis. The chemist combines 1.00 L of 2.00 M AGNO, (ag) with 1.00 L of 4.00M NaCl (ag) in an Erlenmeyer flask. Both the AgNO3 (aq) solution and the NaCl(aq) solution are colorless. After the mixture has been stirred, a cloudy white substance is observed at the bottom of the flask. What is the expected mass of AgCl (s), in grams, assuming that the yield is 100%? In the box, enter the mass to the nearest gram.
A metal, Manganese (Mn) was discovered from a mining site. Mn presentin the ore sample was analysed by forming a precipitate of MnSO4. If4.21 g of ore sample gives 0.22 g of MnSO4. Calculate the percentageof Mn present in the sample.
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 500.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 104.mg.Calculate the original concentration of copper(II) sulfate in the sample. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. _______________g/L
A solution of HCI is standardized against a sample which has been previously found to contain 71.22% Na2CO3, and no other basic material. The sample weighing 0.5962 g is treated with 32.7 mL of the acid and the excess acid then requires 1.52 mL of NaOH solution. If 1.00 mL of the acid is equivalent to 0.9690 mL of the NaOH, calculate for the normality of each solution.
The total cation content of natural water is often determined by exchanging the cations for hydrogen ions on a strong acid ion-exchange resin. A 25.00 mL sample of a natural water was diluted to 100.00 ML with distilled water, and 2.06 g of a cation - exchange resin was added. After stirring, the mixture was filtered and the solid remaining on the filter paper was washed with three 15.00 mL portions of water. The filtrate and washings required 16.30 mL of 0.0282 M NaOH to give a bromocresol green end point. a) Calculate the number of millimoles of cation present in exactly 1.00 L of sample. b ) Report the results in terms of milligrams of CaCO3 per liter.
