(b) A mixture of 800 g potassium nitrate and 200g cobalt (III) chloride is mixed with 1000 g water and heated to 100°C. Will the mixture completely dissolve? Explain. (c) If the mixture from (b) is cooled to 0°C, will the crystals collected be 100% potassium nitrate? Explain.

Addition of water to concentrated sulfuric acid is dangerous because it generates enough heat to boil the water, causing it to spatter out of the container. For this reason, chemists remember to add acid to water. In a dilution experiment, we calculate the amount of the more concentrated solution that must be measured out. If we place this concentrated solution (Figure 4.7) in the volumetric flask first, then dilute with water, we violate the caution Add acid to water. Describe a safer variation on the method shown in Figure 4.7 that allows the quantitative dilution of concentrated sulfuric acid. Figure 4.7 Preparing a dilute solution from a concentrated solution. (a) Draw the concentrated solution into a pipet to a level just above the calibration mark. (b) Allow the liquid to settle down to the calibration line. Touch the tip of the pipet to the side of the container to remove any extra liquid. (c) Transfer this solution to a volumetric flask. Again touch the pipet to the wall of the flask to ensure complete transfer, but do not blow out the pipet because it is calibrated for a small amount of liquid to remain in the tip. (d) Dilute to the mark with solvent. Frequently, especially with concentrated acids, it is best to have some solvent present in the volumetric flask before you add the concentrated sample.
Calcium carbonate, CaCO3, can be obtained in a very pure state. Standard solutions of calcium ion are usually prepared by dissolving calcium carbonate in acid. What mass of CaCO3 should be taken to prepare 500. mL of 0.0200 M calcium ion solution?
95. Many metal ions form insoluble sulfide compounds when a solution of the metal ion is treated with hydrogen sulfide gas. For example, nickel(II) precipitates nearly quantitatively as NiS when H2S gas is bubbled through a nickel ion solution. How many milliliters of gaseous H2S at STP are needed to precipitate all (he nickel ion present in 10. mL of 0.050 M NiCl2 solution?
. Which of the following will affect the total amount of solute that can dissolve in a given amount of solvent? a. The solution is stirred. b. The solute is ground to line particles before dissolving. c. The temperature changes.
Potassium hydrogen phthalate is a solid, monoprotic acid frequently used in the laboratory as a primary standard. It has the formula KHC8H4O4. This is often written in the short-hand notation as KHP. If 25.0mL of a potassium hydroxide solution are needed to neutralize 2.26g of KHP, what is the molarity of the potassium hydroxide solution? Potassium hydrogen phthalate sometimes called potassium biphthalate, as shown on this bottle is an acid that is convenient to store and use because it is a solid.
. Why does the amount of excess solid solute present in a solution not affect the amount of solute that ultimately dissolves in a given amount of solvent?
