- A student is asked to identify the metal nitrate present in an aqueous solution. The cation in the solution can be either Na+, Ba2+, Ag+, or Ni2+. Results of solubility experiments are as follows: unknown + chloride ions—no precipitate unknown + carbonate ions—precipitate unknown + sulfate ions—precipitate What is the cation in the solution?arrow_forwardSeparate samples of a solution of an unknown soluble ionic compound are treated with KCl, Na2SO4, and NaOH. A precipitate forms only when Na2SO4 is added. Which cations could be present in the unknown soluble ionic compound?arrow_forwardTwo students titrate different samples of the same solution of HCl using 0.100 M NaOH solution and phenolphthalein indicator (Figure 4.12). The first student pipets 20.0 mL of the HCl solution into a flask, adds 20 mL of distilled water and a few drops of phenolphthalein solution, and titrates until a lasting pink color appears. The second student pipets 20.0 mL of the HCl solution into a flask, adds 60 mL of distilled water and a few drops of phenolphthalein solution, and titrates to the first lasting pink color. Each student correctly calculates the molarity of an HCl solution. What will the second students result be? (a) four times less than the first students result (b) four times greater than the first students result (c) two times less than the first students result (d) two times greater than the first students result (e) the same as the first students resultarrow_forward
- What is the molar concentration of an H2SO4 solution if a 50.0-mL sample requires 9.65 mL of a 1.33 M solution of NaOH to reach the equivalence point?arrow_forwardAn experiment in your laboratory requires 500. mL of a 0.0200 M solution of Na2CO3. You are given solid Na2CO3, distilled water, and a 500.-mL volumetric flask. Describe how to prepare the required solution.arrow_forwardA 25.0-mL sample of vinegar (which contains the weak acid acetic acid, CH3CO2H) requires 28.33 mL of a 0.953 M solution of NaOH for titration to the equivalence point. What is the mass of acetic acid (molar mass = 60.05 g/mol), in grams, in the vinegar sample, and what is the concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar? CH3CO2H(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaCH3CO2(aq) + H2O(l)arrow_forward
- Consider an experiment in which two burets, Y and Z, are simultaneously draining into a beaker that initially contained 275.0 mL of 0.300 M HCl. Buret Y contains 0.150 M NaOH and buret Z contains 0.250 M KOH. The stoichiometric point in the titration is reached 60.65 minutes after Y and Z were started simultaneously. The total volume in the beaker at the stoichiometric point is 655 mL. Calculate the flow rates of burets Y and Z. Assume the flow rates remain constant during the experiment.arrow_forwardWhen solutions of BaCl2 and Na2SO4 are mixed, the mixture becomes cloudy. After a few days, a white solid is observed on the bottom of the beaker with a clear liquid above it. (a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction that occurs. (b) Why is the solution cloudy at first? (c) What happens during the few days of waiting?arrow_forwardSodium chloride is used in intravenous solutions for medical applications. The NaCl concentration in such solutions must be accurately known and can be assessed by reacting the solution with an experimentally determined volume of AgNO3 solution of known concentration. The net ionic equation is Ag+(aq)+Cl(aq)AgCl(s) Suppose that a chemical technician uses 19.3 mL of 0.200-M AgNO3 to convert all the NaCl in a 25.0-mL sample of an intravenous solution to AgCl. Calculate the molarity of NaCl in the solution.arrow_forward
- One method for determining the purity of aspirin (C9H8O4) is to hydrolyze it with NaOH solution and then to titrate the remaining NaOH. The reaction of aspirin with NaOH is as follows: A sample of aspirin with a mass of 1.427 g was boiled in 50.00 mL of 0.500 M NaOH. After the solution was cooled, it took 31.92 mL of 0.289 M HCl to titrate the excess NaOH. Calculate the purity of the aspirin. What indicator should be used for this titration? Why?arrow_forwardA 10.00-mL sample of a 24.00% solution of ammonium bromide (NH4Br) requires 23.41 mL of 1.200 molar silver nitrate (AgNO3) to react with all of the bromide ion present. (a) Calculate the molarity of the ammonium bromide solution. (b) Use the molarity of the solution to find the mass of ammonium bromide in 1.000 L of this solution. (c) From the percentage concentration and the answer to part b, find the mass of 1.000 L ammonium bromide solution. (d) Combine the answer to part c with the volume of 1.000 L to express the density of the ammonium bromide solution (in g/mL).arrow_forwardA student mixes four reagents together, thinking that the solutions will neutralize each other. The solutions mixed together are 50.0 mL of 0.100M hydrochloric acid, 100.0 mL of 0.200 M of nitric acid, 500.0 mL of 0.0100 M calcium hydroxide, and 200.0 mL of 0.100 M rubidium hydroxide. Did the acids and bases exactly neutralize each other? If not, calculate the concentration of excess H+ or OH ions left in solution.arrow_forward
