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 150. 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 126. mg. Calculate the original concentration of copper(II) sulfate in the sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

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 have been provided with a 2.08 x 10-2 L sample of lithium hydroxide (LiOH) of unknown concentration. 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). What is the concentration of the lithium hydroxide solution in mol L-1?
A titration is a procedure for determining the concentration of a solution by allowing it to react with another solution of known concentration (called a standard solution). Acid-base reactions and oxidation- reduction reactions are used in titrations. For example, to find the concentration of an HCl solution (an acid), a standard solution of NaOH (a base) is added to a measured volume of HCI from a calibrated tube called a buret. An indicator is also present and it will change color when all the acid has reacted. Using the concentration of the standard solution and the volume dispensed, we can calculate molarity of the HCl solution. A volume of 90.0 mL of aqueous potassium hydroxide (KOH) was titrated against a standard solution of sulfuric acid (H₂SO4). What was the molarity of the KOH solution if 13.2 mL of 1.50 M H₂SO4 was needed? The equation is 2KOH(aq) + H₂SO4 (aq)→K₂SO4 (aq) + 2H₂O(1) Express your answer with the appropriate units. ► View Available Hint(s) molarity = Submit…
