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 200. 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 148. mg. Calculate the original concentration of copper(II) sulfate in the sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. 60 A

The concentration of SO42– ions in a 45.0 mL sample of seawater is determined by adding a solution of BaCl2 and precipitating the SO42– as BaSO4. After the precipitate is filtered from the solution, it is dried and weighed. If the mass of BaSO4 recovered is 0.315 g, what is the sulfate concentration of the seawater sample? Express your answer in mmol/L.
A chemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. He carefully weighs out 214.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 91.8mL of sodium hydroxide solution. Calculate the molarity of the student's sodium hydroxide solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

You perform a titration with 2.19 M nitric acid (HNO3), and find that 24.6 mL are required to reach the equivalence point (as determined using a coloured indicator).

One way to determine the hardness of a water sample is to precipitate the calcium out of solution as a carbonate. The net ionic reaction for this precipitation is: Ca2+(aq) + CO32-(aq) → CaCO3 (s) A 1.00 L sample of water is drawn from a Phoenix, AZ well and 0.534 g of calcium carbonate is recovered using the above reaction. What was the Ca2+ concentration of the original water sample in ppm? Show your work and include units. Hint: ppm stands for parts per million, and in the case of an aqueous solution, this is equivalent to mg/L.

A solution of 655 mL of 0.852 M CO(NH2)2 is mixed with a solution of 432 mL of 0.487 M CO(NH2)2. It is then evaporated on a hotplate to a volume of 825 mL. What is the molarity of CO(NH2)2 in this final solution? [Be aware that evaporation only changes the amount of water, not the amount of CO(NH2)2, because the boiling point of CO(NH2)2 is nearly 200 °C, too high to evaporate out of the solution to a significant extent].
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?
