Concept explainers
You are given four different aqueous solutions and told that they each contain NaOH, Na2CO3, NaHCO3, or a mixture of these solutes. You do some experiments and gather these data about the samples.
Sample A: Phenolphthalein is colorless in the solution.
Sample B: The sample was titrated with HCl until the pink color of phenolphthalein disappeared, then methyl orange was added. The solution became pink. Methyl orange changes color from pH 3.01 (red) to pH 4.4 (orange).
Sample C: Equal volumes of the sample were titrated with standardized acid. Using phenolphthalein as an indicator required 15.26 mL of standardized acid to change the phenolphthalein color. The other sample required 17.90 mL for a color change using methyl orange as the indicator.
Sample D: Two equal volumes of the sample were titrated with standardized HCl. Using phenolphthalein as the indicator, it took 15.00 mL of acid to reach the equivalence point; using methyl orange as the indicator required 30.00 mL HCl to achieve neutralization.
Identify the solute in each of the solutions.

- Apatite, Ca5(PO4)3OH, is the mineral in teeth. On a chemical basis explain why drinking milk strengthens young children’s teeth. Sour milk contains lactic acid. Not removing sour milk from the teeth of young children can lead to tooth decay. Use chemical principles to explain why.arrow_forward1. How many moles of Ca2+ and OH- ions are produced for every one mole of Ca(OH)2 that dissolves in solution? Ca(OH)2(s)↔ Ca2+(aq) + 2OH-(aq) 2. A student determined that 20.0 mL of a saturated calcium hydroxide solution required 5.23 mL of a 0.108 M HCl solution to reach the equivalence point. Calculate the number of moles of Ca(OH)2 titrated and the molar concentration of the saturated Ca(OH)2 solution. Ca(OH)2(aq)+ 2HCl (aq)→ CaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l) 3.

- You have a 12 mL sample of acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter) with an unknown concentration and a pH of 8.14. You incubate this sample with the enzyme acetylcholinesterase to convert all of the acetylcholine to choline and acetic acid. The acetic acid dissociates to yield acetate and hydrogen ions. At the end of the incubation period, you measure the pH again and find that it has decreased to 6.55. Assuming there was no buffer in the assay mixture, determine the number of nanomoles of acetylcholine in the original 12 mL sample. Acetycholine in original sample:________ nmolarrow_forward5.
