- A scientist has synthesized a diprotic organic acid, H2A, with a molar mass of 124.0 g/mol. The acid must be neutralized (forming the potassium salt) for an important experiment. Calculate the volume of 0.221 M KOH that is needed to neutralize 24.93 g of the acid, forming K2A.arrow_forwardIf 38.55 mL of HCI is required to titrate 2.150 g of Na2CO3 according to the following equation, what is the concentration (mol/L) of the HCl solution? Na2CO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq) 2 NaCI(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)arrow_forwardVitamin C has the formula C6H8O6. Besides being an acid, it is a reducing agent. One method for determining the amount of vitamin C in a sample is to titrate it with a solution of bromine, Br2, an oxidizing agent. C6H8O6(aq) + Br2(aq) 2 HBr(aq) + C6H6O6(aq) A 1.00-g "chewable" vitamin C tablet requires 27.85 ml of 0.102 M Br2 for titration to the equivalence point. What is the mass of vitamin C in the tablet?arrow_forward
- Follow the directions for Question 9 for the following pairs of solutions. (a) sodium phosphate and barium chloride (b) zinc sulfate and potassium hydroxide (c) ammonium sulfate and sodium chloride (d) cobalt(III) nitrate and sodium phosphatearrow_forwardClassify each of the following as a strong or weak acid or base. a NH3 b HCNO c Mg(OH)2 d HClO3arrow_forwardThe (aq) designation listed after a solute indicates the process of hydration. Using KBr(aq) and C2H5OH(aq) as your examples, explain the process of hydration for soluble ionic compounds and for soluble covalent compounds.arrow_forward
- Write equations showing the ions present after the following strong electrolytes are dissolved in water. a. HNO3 b. Na2SO4 c. Al(NO3)3 d. SrBr2 e. KClO4 f. NH4Br g. NH4NO3 h. CuSO4 i. NaOHarrow_forwardWhich of the principal characteristics of solutions can we see in the solutions of K2Cr2O7 shown in Figure 11.2?arrow_forwardCalcium 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?arrow_forward
- . 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.arrow_forward3.85 The particulate drawing shown represents an aqueous so- lution of an acid HA, where A might represent an atom or group of atoms. Is HA a strong acid or a weak acid? Explain how you can tell from the picture.arrow_forward
