One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate, solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 200. mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with cadmium chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: CdCl2(aq) + 2 AgNO3(aq) → 2 AgCl(s) + Cd (NO3)2(aq) The chemist adds 89.0 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. He finds he has collected 5.4 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of cadmium chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. E d OL E

In a titration experiment, a 5.00-mL sample of sulfuric acid, H2SO4, from a car battery is diluted with de-ionized water to 100.0 mL. A 20.00-mL portion of the diluted acid is titrated with 0.2025 MNaOH solution. If 42.00 mL of the NaOH solution is required to neutralize the dilute acid, what is the molar concentration of H2SO4 in the original solution taken from the battery? The acid-base reaction occurs as follows: H2SO(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) --> Na2SO4(aq) + 2H2O(l) (A) 0.2126 M (B) 0.4252 M (C) 4.25 M (D) 8.50 M
A student prepared a Kool-Aid solution from 1.3151 g of Kool-Aid in a 100mL volumetric flask. In an experiment a student used 20.15 mL of 0.0200 M NaOH to titrate a 10.00 mL aliquot of this Kool-Aid solution. To calculate the mass % of citric acid in the aliquot we use: mass % of Kool-Aid = (mass of citric o cidla)V (nmass of Kool- Aid(a))x 100
