A 1.000 liter sample of sea water was evaporated to a small volume and treated with an excess of sodium tetraphenylboron. The precipitated tetraphenylboron was filtered and then redissolved in acetone. The analysis was completed by a Mohr titration that required 34.32 ml of 0.03875 M AgNO3. Calculate the parts per million of potassium in the sea water sample. K* + NaB(C,H5)4 → KB(C,H5)4ls) + Na* ; Ag* + KB(C;Hs)4 → AgB(C6H5)4(s) + K*

The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16Handbook) gives solubilities of the following compounds in grams per 100 mL of water. Because these compounds are only slightly soluble, assume that the volume does not change on dissolution and calculate the solubility product for each. (a) BaSiF6, 0.026 g/100 mL (contains SiF62- ions) (b) Ce(IO3)4, 1.5102 g/100 mL (c) Gd2(SO4)3, 3.98 g/100 mL (d) (NH4)2PtBr6, 0.59 g/100 mL (contains PtBr62- ions)
Tris(pentatluorophenyl)borane, commonly known by its aeronym BARF, is frequently used to initiate polymerization of ethylene or propylene in the presence of a catalytic transition metal compound. It is composed solely of C, F, and B; it is 42.23% C and 55.66% F by mass. a. What is the empirical formula of BARF? b. A 2.251-g sample of BARF dissolved in 347.0 mL of solution produces a 0.01267-M solution. What is the molecular formula of BARF?
0.5366 g of an KHP sample of unknown purity was massed. The sample was dissolved in approximately 100 mL of distilled, degassed water and indicator was added. The end point was reached after 21.35 mL of 0.09854 M NaOH solution was titrated into the solution. What is the percentage of KHP in the original sample?
The arsenic in a 1.010 g sample of a pesticide was converted to H3AsO4 by suitable treatment. The acid was then neutralized, and exactly 40.00 mL of 0.06222M AgNO3 was added to precipitate the arsenic quantitatively as Ag3AsO4. The excess Ag in the filtrate and in the washings from theprecipitate was titrated with 10.76 mL of 0.1000MKSCN; the reaction wasAg+ + SCN-→ AgSCN(s) Calculate the percent AsO3 in the sample.
While working in a metal processing facility, Letlen had accidentally mixed two metal vatstogether creating an alloy. One vat was labeled for cadmium, while the other was not. It canbe assumed that these are of pure metal composition. To identify this metal, Letlen took 1.000 g of the homogenous alloy sample composed ofcadmium and the unknown metal, dissolved, and diluted it to exactly 100.0 mL in avolumetric flask. A 20.00-mL aliquot was taken and titrated this using 22.82 mL of 0.05000M EDTA. In a second 20.00-mL aliquot, the Cd was masked through the addition of HCN/NaCN buffer.The titration of the unknown metal in the aliquot required 15.13 mL of EDTA.MW: Cd (112.411 g/mol) a. Calculate the moles of Cd and the moles of unknown metal in the 20.00-mL aliquot.b. Calculate the moles of Cd and the moles of unknown metal in the sample.
As part of a soil analysis on a plot of land, a scientist wants to determine the ammonium content using gravimetric analysis with sodium tetraphenylborate, Na+B(C6H5)4−. Unfortunately, the amount of potassium, which also precipitates with sodium tetraphenylborate, is non‑negligible and must be accounted for in the analysis. Assume that all potassium in the soil is present as K2CO3 and all ammonium is present as NH4Cl. A 5.095 g soil sample was dissolved to give 0.500 L of solution. A 150.0 mL aliquot was acidified and excess sodium tetraphenylborate was added to precipitate both K+ and NH4+ ions completely. B(C6H5)4-+K+⟶KB(C6H5)4(s) B(C6H5)4-+NH4+⟶NH4B(C6H5)4(s) The resulting precipitate amounted to 0.269 g. A new 300.0 mL aliquot of the original solution was made alkaline and heated to remove all of the NH4+ as NH3. The resulting solution was then acidified, and excess sodium tetraphenylborate was added to give 0.129 g of precipitate. Find the mass percentages of NH4Cl and…
The level of dissolved oxygen in a water sample can be determined by the Winkler method. In a typical analysis, a 100.0-mL sample is made basic, and treated with a solution of MnSO4, resulting in the formation of MnO2. An excess of KI is added, and the solution is acidified, resulting in the formation of Mn2+ and I2. The liberated I2 is titrated with a solution of 0.00870 M Na2S2O3, requiring 8.90 mL to reach the starch indicator end point. Calculate the concentration of dissolved oxygen as parts per million of O2.
