Interpretation:
To calculate themilliliters of solution have drained from the buret that contains 22.93 mL sodium hydroxide solution. A few minutes later, the volume is down to 19.4 mL because of a small leak.
Concept introduction:
The significant figures are also known as the significant digits. It is the uncertainty associate with the measurement by rounding the results. Moreover the significant figures are defined in a number of the digits with certainty and first uncertain digit. The measurement is a characteristic number to the object or event that can be compared with other object. The scope of the measurement depends upon the context and event. Measurement is commonly used as the international system of unit as a comparison framework. The system defines seven fundamental units like kilogram, meter, candela, ampere, kelvin and mole. The metric system is a decimal system of the measurement based on the units for the length, meter, the mass, the kilogram. It exists in the several forms with different choices of the basic units. The metric system indicates a single basic unit for the number of physical quantities. Other quantities are derived from the SI units.

- A student weighs out a 4.80-g sample of aluminum bromide, transfers it to a 100-mL volumetric flask, adds enough water to dissolve it, and then adds water to the 100-mL mark. What is the molarity of aluminum bromide in the resulting solution?arrow_forward94. Baking soda (sodium hydrogen carbonate. NaHCO3) is often used to neutralize spills of acids on the benchtop in the laboratory. What mass of NaHCO3 would be needed to neutralize a spill consisting of 25.2 mL of 6.01 M hydrochloric acid solution?arrow_forwardWhat mass of solid NaOH (97.0% NaOH by mass) is required to prepare 1.00 L of a 10.0% solution of NaOH by mass? The density of the 10.0% solution is 1.109 g/mL.arrow_forward
- You wish to prepare 1 L of a 0.02-M potassium iodate solution. You require that the final concentration be within 1% of 0.02 M and that the concentration must be known accurately to the fourth decimal place. How would you prepare this solution? Specify the glassware you would use, the accuracy needed for the balance, and the ranges of acceptable masses of KIO3 that can be used.arrow_forwardThe units of parts per million (ppm) and parts per billion (ppb) are commonly used by environmental chemists. In general, 1 ppm means 1 part of solute for every 106 parts of solution. Mathematically, by mass: ppm=gsolutegsolution=mgsolutekgsolution In the case of very dilute aqueous solutions, a concentration of 1.0 ppm is equal to 1.0 g of solute per 1.0 mL, which equals 1.0 g solution. Parts per billion is defined in a similar fashion. Calculate the molarity of each of the following aqueous solutions. a. 5.0 ppb Hg in H2O b. 1.0 ppb CHCl3 in H2O c. 10.0 ppm As in H2O d. 0.10 ppm DDT (C14H9Cl5) in H2Oarrow_forwardou have two solutions containing solute A. To determine which solution has the highest concentration of A in molarity, which of the following must you know? (There may be more than one answer.) the mass in grams of A in each solution the molar mass of A the volume of’ water added to each solution the total volume of the solution plain your answer.arrow_forward
- What does it mean when we say that a 200-mL sample and a 400-mL sample of a solution of salt have the same molarity? In what ways are the two samples identical? In what ways are these two samples different?arrow_forwardm>5. Which of the following do you need to know to calculate the molarity of a salt solution? (There may be more than one answer.) the mass of salt added the molar mass of the salt the volume of water added the total volume of the solution plain your answer.arrow_forwardA student wants to prepare 1.00 L of a 1.00-M solution of NaOH (molar mass = 40.00 g/mol). If solid NaOH is available, how would the student prepare this solution? If 2.00 M NaOH is available, how would the student prepare the solution? To help ensure three significant figures in the NaOH molarity, to how many significant figures should the volumes and mass be determined?arrow_forward
- A soft drink contains an unknown mass of citric acid, C3H5O(COOH)3. It requires 6.42 mL of 9.580 × 10−2-M NaOH to neutralize the citric acid in 10.0 mL of the soft drink. C3H5O(COOH)3(aq) + 3 NaOH(aq) → Na3C3H5O(COO)3(aq) + 3 H2O(ℓ) Determine which step in these calculations for the mass of citric acid in 1 mL soft drink is incorrect? Why? n (NaOH) = (6.42 mL)(1L/1000 mL)(9.580 × 10−2 mol/L) n (citric acid) = (6.15 × 10−4 mol NaOH) × (3 mol citric acid/1 mol NaOH) m (citric acid in sample) = (1.85 × 10−3 mol citric acid) × (192.12 g/mol citric acid) m (citric acid in 1 mL soft drink) = (0.354 g citric acid)/(10 mL soft drink) Determine the correct result.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference between a solute and a solvent?arrow_forwardCharacterize strong electrolytes versus weak electrolytes versus nonelectrolytes. Give examples of each. How do you experimentally determine whether a soluble substance is a strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte, or nonelectrolyte?arrow_forward
