- 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_forwardYou mix 25.0 mL of 0.234-M FeCl3 solution with 42.5 mL of 0.453-M NaOH. Calculate the maximum mass, in grams, of Fe(OH)3 that will precipitate. Determine which reactant is in excess. Calculate the concentration of the excess reactant remaining in solution after the maximum mass of Fe(OH)3 has precipitated.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_forward
- Describe in words how you would prepare pure crystalline AgCl and NaNO3 from solid AgNO3 and solid NaCl.arrow_forwardA 8.50 g sample of KCl is dissolved in 66.0 mL of water. The resulting solution is then added to 72.0 mL of a 0.280 M CaCl2(aq) solution. Assuming that the volumes are additive, calculate the concentrations of each ion present in the final solution.arrow_forwardConsider 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_forward
- The cations Ba2+ and Sr2+ can be precipitated as very insoluble sulfates. (a) If you add sodium sulfate to a solution containing these metal cations, each with a concentration of 0.10 M, which is precipitated first, BaSO4 or SrSO4? (b) What will be the concentration of the first ion that precipitates (Ba2+ or Sr2+) when the second, more soluble salt begins to precipitate?arrow_forwardA 300.0-g sample of a solid is made up of a uniform mixture of NaNO3, MgCl2, and BaCl2. A 100.0-g sample of the mixture is dissolved in water and treated with an excess of KOH. The precipitate from the reaction has a mass of 13.47 g. The remaining 200.0-g sample is also dissolved in water and treated with an aqueous solution of AgNO3. The resulting precipitate has a mass of 195.8 g. What are the masses of NaNO3, MgCl2, and BaCl2 in the 300.0-g sample?arrow_forwardCitric acid, which can be obtained from lemon juice, has the molecular formula C6H8O7. A 0.250-g sample of citric acid dissolved in 25.0 mL of water requires 37.2 mL of 0.105 M NaOH for complete neutralization. What number of acidic hydrogens per molecule does citric acid have?arrow_forward
- 42. a. Fill in the following table as if it is a well plate and you are mixing two aqueous compounds at a time to see if a precipitate forms. If a precipitate is expected to form, indicate that by writing the correct formula for the precipitate in the corresponding box in the table. If no precipitate is expected to form, write “NO” in the box. CaCI2 Pb(NO3)2 (NH4)3PO4 Na2CO3 AgNO3 K2SO4 b. How do you prepare 300.0 mL of a 0.250 M CaCl2 solution using an available 2(X) M solution? Support your answer with calculations, but also make sure you describe how to prepare the solution.arrow_forwardAn aqueous sample is known to contain either Mg2+ or Ba2+ ions. Treatment of the sample with Na2CO3 produces a precipitate, but treatment with ammonium sulfate does not. Use the solubility rules (see Table 4.1) to determine which cation is present.arrow_forwardDouglasite is a mineral with the formula 2KC1 FeCl2 2H2O. Calculate the mass percent of douglasite in a 455.0-mg sample if it took 37.20 mL of a 0.1000-M AgNO3 solution to precipitate all the Cl as AgCl. Assume the douglasite is the only source of chloride ion.arrow_forward
