You are provided with an unknown solution that contains Group I cations. To 1 mL of this solution you add 6M HCl and obtain a white precipitate. You centrifuge the solution and add an additional drop of 6 M HCI to insure that precipitation is complete. No additional cloudiness formed upon the addition of one drop of HCl and the supernatant solution was decanted and discarded. After washing the precipitate, centrifuging, and discarding the wash, 1-2 mL of water is added to the precipitate, the mixture is heated in a boiling water bath for a few minutes with stirring. The hot mixture is centrifuged and the supernatant transferred to a clean test tube. No solid remained in the original test tube. One drop of 6M acetic acid is added to the test tube containing the solution, the mixture is stirred, followed by the addition of a few drops of 1 M K½CrO4 solution. The formation of a yellow precipitate was observed. Based on the observations and information provided, identify the ion(s) present in your unknown solution. Pb2+ O Ag* Hg2*

Malic acid (C4H6O5) is a dicarboxylic acid that naturally occurs in the production of bignay wine. Maria was tasked to find out the acid content in a 200.0 mL wine sample by titrating it with a standardized solution of KOH. He was able to establish the working concentration of the KOH solution by using 39.12 mL of it to titrate a primary standard of KHP that weighed 3.021 g. The grams and %w/w of Malic acid present in the 200.0 mL wine sample were then determined by titrating a 20.00 mL aliquot using 48.95 mL of the standardized KOH solution. C4H6O5 (aq) + 2KOH (aq) ↔ K2C4H4O5 (aq) + 2H2O (l) Assume the density of the wine sample is 1.000 g/mL MM of KHP = 204.22 g/mol MM of C4H6O5 = 134.0874 g/mol What is the molar concentration of the prepared KOH solution?…
A chemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. She carefully weighs out 51 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 her sodium hydroxide solution. When the titration reaches the equivalence point, the student finds she has used 19.2 mL of sodium hydroxide solution. Calculate the molarity of the student's sodium hydroxide solution.

you would like to remove cadmium ions from a waste stream using precipitation. The final concentration of cadmium needs to be less than 0.001 mg/L. identify a chemical that could be used to precipitate cadmium out of solution to meet this goal. Show calculations and prove if it can be calculated.
The two solids CuBr(s) and AgBr(s) are only very slightly soluble in water: Ksp(CuBr) = 4.2 × 10-8and Ksp(AgBr) = 7.7 × 10-13. Some CuBr(s) and AgBr(s) are both mixed into a quantity of water that is then stirred until it is saturated with respect to both solutes. Next, a small amount of KBr is added and dissolves completely. Compute the ratio of [Cu+] to [Ag+] after the system reestablishes equilibrium.
