The mineral tri-magnesium phosphate (Mg3(PO4)2, denoted TMP) is widely used in the pharmaceutical and food industries. A pharmaceutical company needs to prepare TMP in their labs. They mix 0.5 liter MgCl2 solution (0.2 M) with 0.5 liter of 0.1 M K2HPO4 solution. In order to precipitate TMP in the required amount, the pH is controlled by either acid or base dosages. a. Write a parametric equation to calculate the minimum pH value required for TMP precipitation in the mixture. In other words, write an equation for calculating the pH for tri-magnesium phosphate PP = 0. Substitute in the equation all the known values, in order to have the pH as the only unknown. b. What is the acidity of the mixture, assuming that no precipitation took place? Define exactly which acidity you are referring to, and mention whether it is possible to determine this acidity in the lab. Explain! Write down the steps in a numerical procedure for calculating the PP of TMP?

45.02 mL of a saturated solution of iron (III) hydroxide are titrated with 0.253 M HCl. If 3.36 mL of the acid are required, what is Ksp for iron (III) hydroxide? Iron (III) hydroxide reacts with HCl according to the following balanced equation: Fe(OH)3(aq) + 3HCl(aq) → FeCl3(aq) + 3H2O(l)
Consider a titration where 0.215 M potassium hydroxide is added from a burette to 10.00 mL of hydrochloric acid in an Erlenmeyer flask under the burette. A few drops of phenolphthalein are added to the acid in the Erlenmeyer flask. Discuss how the pH of the solution in the Erlenmeyer flask changes as the titration is carried out. Your response should focus on the pH at the beginning of the titration (before the addition of any base), the pH at the equivalence point, and the pH past the equivalence point.
