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 iron(III) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution
like this:
FeCl3(aq) + 3 AgNO3(aq)
3 AgCl(s) +
Fe(NO3),(a9)
The chemist adds 56.0 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds
she has collected 2.8 mg of silver chloride.
Calculate the concentration of iron(III) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant
digits.

- Magnesium is a valuable, lightweight metal. It is used as a structural metal and in alloys, in batteries, and in chemical synthesis. Although magnesium is plentiful in Earth's crust, it is cheaper to "mine" the metal from seawater. Magnesium forms the second most abundant cation in the sea (after sodium); there are about 1.30 g of magnesium in 1.00 kg of seawater. The method of obtaining magnesium from seawater employs all three types of reactions discussed in this chapter precipitation, acid-base, and redox reactions. In the first stage in the recovery of magnesium, limestone (CaCO3) is heated at high temperatures to produce quicklime, or calcium oxide (CaO): CaCO3(s) -----> CaO(s) + CO2a) When calcium oxide is treated with seawater, it forms calcium hydroxide [Ca(OH)], which is slightly soluble and ionizes to give Ca2* and OH ions: CaO(s) + H2Om-> Ca (aq) +2 OH (aq) The surplus hydroxide ions cause the much less soluble magnesium hydroxide to precipitate: Mg (aq) + 2 OH (aq)…arrow_forwardThe reduction of iron(III) oxide to iron during steel-making can be summarized by this sequence of reactions: 2C (s) + O, (g) =2 CO (g) K1 Fe,0, (s)+ 3 CO (g) =2 Fe (1)+ 3 CO, (g) K2 The net reaction is: 2 Fe,0, (s)+ 6 C (s)+ 3 O, (g) – 4 Fe (1)+ 6 CO, (g) K Write an equation that gives the overall equilibrium constant K in terms of the equilibrium constants K, and K,.
