Sulfide ion (S2- ) is formed in wastewater by the action of an aerobic bacteria on organic matter. Sulfide can be readily protonated to form volatile, toxic H2S. In addition to the toxicity and noxious odor, sulfide and H2S cause corrosion problems because they can be easily converted to sulfuric acid when conditions change to aerobic. One common method to determine sulfide is by coulometric titration with generated silver ion.At the generator electrode, the reaction is Ag
(a) A digital chloridometer was used to determine the mass of sulfide in a wastewater sample. The chloridometer reads out directly in ng Cl-.In chloride determinations, the same generator reaction is used,but the titration reaction is Cl- + Ag+
(b) A particular wastewater standard gave a reading of 1689.6 ng Cl-. What total charge in coulombs was required to generate the Ag+ needed to precipitate the sulfide in this standard?
(c) The following results were obtained on 20.00-mL samples containing known amounts of sulfide.17
Each standard was analyzed in triplicate and the mass of chloride recorded. Convert each of the chloride results to mass S2- (ng).
(d) Determine the average mass of S2- (ng), the standard deviation, and the %RSD) of each standard.
(e) Prepare a plot ofthe average mass of S2- determined (ng) versus the actual mass (ng). Determine theslope, the intercept, the standard error, and the R2 value. Comment on the fit of the data to a linear model.
(f) Determine the detection limit (ng) and in parts per million using a k factor of 2 (see Equation 1-12).
(g) An unknown wastewater sample gave an average reading of 893.2 ng Cl. What is the mass of sulfide (ng)? If 20.00 mL of the wastewater sample was introduced into the titration vessel, what is the concentration of S2- n parts per million?

- A saturated solution of a slightly soluble electrolyte in contact with some of the solid electrolyte is said to be a system in equilibrium. Explain. Why is such a system called a heterogeneous equilibrium?arrow_forwardA volume of 50 mL of 1.8 M NH3 is mixed with an equal volume of a solution containing 0.95 g of MgCl2. What mass of NH4Cl must be added to the resulting solution to prevent the precipitation of Mg(OH)2?arrow_forwardA saturated solution of copper(II) iodate in pure water has a copper-ion concentration of 2.7 103 M. a What is the molar solubility of copper iodate in a 0.35 M potassium iodate solution? b What is the molar solubility of copper iodate in a 0.35 M copper nitrate solution? c Should there be a difference in the answers to parts a and b?

- Calculate the solubility (in grams per liter) of magnesium hydroxide in the following. (a) pure water (b) 0.041 M Ba(OH)2 (c) 0.0050 M MgCl2arrow_forwardA scientist was interested in how soluble rust is in acidic soils, so she set up an idealized problem to get an initial feel for the situation. A fairly acidic soil has a pH of 4.50. Also, rust is essentially Fe(OH)3. Therefore, she considered the following problem: Suppose a 1.00-g sample of iron(III) hydroxide is exposed to 1.00 L of a buffer with a pH of 4.50. She then calculated the nanograms of Fe3+ that dissolve in a liter of this buffer. Show how you would do this problem. Explain your work.arrow_forwardThe solubility product constant for calcium oxalate is estimated to be 4 109. What is its solubility in grams per liter?arrow_forward

How does this compare with the value of the solubility of calcium fluoride found in Example 17.4? Is this what you expect?arrow_forwardA 45.0-mL sample of 0.0015 M BaCl2 was added to a beaker containing 75.0 mL of 0.0025 M KF. Will a precipitate form?arrow_forwardMagnesite (magnesium carbonate, MgCO3) is a common magnesium mineral. From the solubility product constant, find the solubility of magnesium carbonate in grams per liter of water.arrow_forward
