Lead poisoning has been a hazard for centuries. Some scholars believe that the decline of the Roman Empire can be traced, in part, to high levels of lead in water from containers and pipes, and from wine that was stored in leadglazed containers. If we presume that the typical Roman water supply was saturated with lead carbonate, PbCO3 (Ksp = 7.4 1014), how much lead will a Roman ingest in a year if he or she drinks 1 L/day from the container?

In order to determine the purity of ammonium sulfate, a sample with a mass of 0.850 g is dissolved in KOH. The equation for the reaction that takes place is NH4+(aq)+OH(aq)NH3(aq)+H2OThe ammonia liberated is distilled into a flask that contains 50.00 mL of 0.250 M HCI. Not all the HCI is consumed. The excess HCI reacts with 17.3 mL of 0.120 M NaOH. What is the mass percent of (NH4)2SO4 in the sample?

What mass of solid aluminum hydroxide can be produced when 50.0 mL of 0.200 M Al(NO3)3 is added to 200.0 mL of 0.100 M KOH?

Twenty-five milliliters of a solution (d=1.107g/mL)containing 15.25% by mass of sulfuric acid is added to 50.0 mL of 2.45 M barium chloride. (a) What is the expected precipitate? (b) How many grams of precipitate are obtained? (c) What is the chloride concentration after precipitation is complete?

Use the appropriate tables to calculate H for (a) the reaction between MgC03(s) and a strong acid to give Mg2+(aq), CO2(g), and water. (b) the precipitation of iron(III) hydroxide from the reaction between iron(III) and hydroxide ions.

According to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), waste material is classified as toxic and must be handled as hazardous if the lead concentration exceeds 5 mg/L. By adding chloride ion, the lead ion will precipitate as PbCl2, which can be separated from the liquid portion. Once the lead has been removed, the rest of the waste can be sent to a conventional waste treatment facility. How many grams of sodium chloride must be added to 500 L of a waste solution to reduce the concentration of the Pb2+ ion from 10 to 5 mg/L?

An artificial fruit beverage contains 12.0 g of tartaric acid, H2C4H4O6, to achieve tartness. It is titrated with a basic solution that has a density of 1.045 g/cm3 and contains 5.00 mass percent KOH. What volume of the basic solution is required? (One mole of tartaric acid reacts with two moles of hydroxide ion.)

Iron (II) can be oxidized to iron (III) by dichromate ion, which is reduced to chromium (III) in acid solution. A 2.5000-g sample of iron ore is dissolved and the iron converted into iron(II). Exactly 19.17? ml. of 0.0100 M Na2Cr2O7 is required in the titration. What percentage of the ore sample was iron?

What mass of oxalic acid, H2C2O4, is required to prepare 250. mL of a solution that has a concentration of 0.15 M H2C2O4?
