4. A person's blood alcohol (C,H,OH) content can be determined by titrating a sample of blood plasma with potassium permanganate solution. A 6.978 g sample of blood plasma from a suspected drunk driver was titrated, and 28.35 ml of an acidified 0.01061 M potassium permanganate solution were required to convert all of the alcohol into carbon dioxide. Calculate the mass percent of alcohol in the blood, and determine if the driver was legally intoxicated.

What volume of 0.0521 M Ba(OH)2 is required to neutralize exactly 14.20 mL of 0.141 M H3PO4? Phosphoric acid contains three acidic hydrogens.
One way of determining blood alcohol levels is by performing a titration on a sample of blood. In this process, the alcohol from the blood is oxidized by dichromate ions (Cr2O72-) according to the following net ionic equation: C2H5OH+2Cr2O72+16H+2CO2+4Cr3++11H2O A 10.00-g sample of blood was drawn from a patient, and 13.77 mL of 0.02538 M K2Cr2O7 was required to titrate the alcohol. What was the patient’s blood alcohol level? (See the previous problem for definition of blood alcohol level. K2Cr2O7 is a strong electrolyte, so it dissociates completely in solution.)
A 10.0-mL sample of potassium iodide solution was analyzed by adding an excess of silver nitrate solution to produce silver iodide crystals, which were filtered from the solution.

A student tries to determine experimentally the molar mass of aspirin (HAsp). She takes 1.00 g of aspirin, dissolves it in water, and neutralizes it with 17.6 mL of 0.315 M KOH. The equation for the reaction is HAsp(aq)+OH(aq)Asp(aq)+H2OWhat is the molar mass of aspirin?
Arsenic acid, H3AsO4, is a poisonous acid that has been used in the treatment of wood to prevent insect damage. Arsenic acid has three acidic protons. Say you take a 25.00-mL sample of arsenic acid and prepare it for titration with NaOH by adding 25.00 mL of water. The complete neutralization of this solution requires the addition of 53.07 mL of 0.6441 M NaOH solution. Write the balanced chemical reaction for the titration, and calculate the molarity of the arsenic acid sample.

The concentration of a certain sodium hydroxide solution was determined by using the solution to titrate a sample of potassium hydrogen phthalate (abbreviated as KHP). KHP is an acid with one acidic hydrogen and a molar mass of 204.22 g/mol. In the titration, 34.67 mL of the sodium hydroxide solution was required to react with 0.1082 g KHP. Calculate the molarity of the sodium hydroxide.
