- According to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), waste material is classified as toxic and must be handled as hazardous if the lead concentration exceeds 5 mg/L. By adding chloride ion, the lead ion will precipitate as PbCl2, which can be separated from the liquid portion. Once the lead has been removed, the rest of the waste can be sent to a conventional waste treatment facility. How many grams of sodium chloride must be added to 500 L of a waste solution to reduce the concentration of the Pb2+ ion from 10 to 5 mg/L?arrow_forwardCalculate the molarity of AgNO3 in a solution prepared by dissolving 1.44 g AgNO3 in enough water to form 1.00 L solution.arrow_forwardPhosphoric acid, H3PO4, has three protons that can ionize. Write the equations for its three ionization reactions, each of which is a dynamic equilibrium.arrow_forward
- 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.arrow_forwardSome of the substances commonly used in stomach antacids are MgO, Mg(OH)2, and Al(OH)3. a. Write a balanced equation for the neutralization of hydrochloric acid by each of these substances. b. Which of these substances will neutralize the greatest amount of 0.10 M HCl per gram?arrow_forwardThe formula for tartaric acid is preferably written as H2C4H4O6 rather than as C4H6O6. Explain why.arrow_forward
- A student set up an experiment for six different trials of the reaction between 1.00-M aqueous acetic acid, CH3COOH, and solid sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO3. CH3COOH(aq) + NaHCO3(s) NaCH3CO2(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O() The volume of acetic acid was kept constant, but the mass of sodium bicarbonate increased with each trial. The results of the tests are shown in the figure. (a) In which trial(s) is the acetic acid the limiting reactant? (b) In which trial(s) is sodium bicarbonate the limiting reactant? (c) Explain your reasoning in parts (a) and (b).arrow_forwardOne half liter (500. mL) of 2.50 M HCl is mixed with 250. mL of 3.75 M HCl. Assuming the total solution volume after mixing is 750. mL, what is the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the resulting solution? What is its pH?arrow_forwardFollow the directions of Question 19 for the following acids: (a) hypochlorous acid (b) formic acid, HCHO2 (c) acetic acid, HC2H3O2 (d) hydrobromic acid (e) sulfurous acidarrow_forward
- Most naturally occurring acids are weak acids. Lactic acid is one example. CH3CH(OH)CO2H(s)+H2O(l)H3O+(aq)+CH3CH(OH)CO2(aq) If you place some lactic acid in water, it will ionize to a small extent, and an equilibrium will be established. Suggest some experiments to prow that this is a weak acid and that the establishment of equilibrium is a reversible process.arrow_forwardIn a terrible accident, a solution consisting of 2.37 kg of nitric acid, HNO3, was spilled on the lab floor. Very quickly, you decide to throw 2.00 kg of sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, on the spilled acid. You then run out of the building due to the significant quantities of carbon dioxide that would form due to the reaction. As you stand outside, you wonder, "Did I add enough sodium carbonate to neutralize the acid?". a) Did you add enough sodium carbonate to neutralize the acid? Yes Ο No b) In the event that you did not add enough sodium carbonate, how much extra would be needed to completely neutralize the acid? If you have added enough, please enter a value of 0 (zero). Needed 0 c) In the event that you did add enough sodium carbonate, how much extra did you add? If you didn't add any extra, please enter a value of 0 (zero). Excess 09 g garrow_forwardSuppose a pair of chemical compounds A andB can react in two different ways: A+BC Reaction 1 gives product C. A+BD Reaction 2 gives product D. The following facts are known about the two reactions: • Reaction 1 is endothermic and Reaction 2 is exothermic. • If a reaction vessel is charged (illed") with A and B, then at first Cis produced faster than D. Use these facts to sketch a qualitative reaction energy diagram for both reactions. Note: because these sketches are only qualitative, the energies don't have to be exact. They only have to have the right relationship to each other. For example, if one energy is less than another, that fact should be clear in your sketch.
