Introductory Chemistry: A Foundation
- Copper has compounds with copper(I) ion or copper(II) ion. A compound of copper and chlorine was treated with a solution of silver nitrate, AgNO3, to convert the chloride ion in the compound to a precipitate of AgCl. A 59.40-mg sample of the copper compound gave 86.00 mg AgCl. a Calculate the percentage of chlorine in the copper compound. b Decide whether the formula of the compound is CuCl or CuCl2.arrow_forwardPotassium hydrogen phthalate, KHCgH4O4, is used to standardize solutions of bases. The acidic anion reacts with strong bases according to the following net ionic equation: HCgH4O4(aq) + OH(aq) CgH4O42(aq) + H2O(l) If a 0.902-g sample of potassium hydrogen phthalate is dissolved in water and titrated to the equivalence point with 26.45 mL of NaOH(aq), what is the molar concentration of the NaOH?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
- Gold has compounds containing gold(I) ion or gold(III) ion. A compound of gold and chlorine was treated with a solution of silver nitrate, AgNO3, to convert the chloride ion in the compound to a precipitate of AgCl. A 162.7-mg sample of the gold compound gave 100.3 mg AgCl. a Calculate the percentage of the chlorine in the gold compound. b Decide whether the formula of the compound is AuCl or AuCl3.arrow_forwardThe cations Ba2+ and Sr2+ can be precipitated as very insoluble sulfates. (a) If you add sodium sulfate to a solution containing these metal cations, each with a concentration of 0.10 M, which is precipitated first, BaSO4 or SrSO4? (b) What will be the concentration of the first ion that precipitates (Ba2+ or Sr2+) when the second, more soluble salt begins to precipitate?arrow_forwardA student is asked to identify the metal nitrate present in an aqueous solution. The cation in the solution can be either Na+, Ba2+, Ag+, or Ni2+. Results of solubility experiments are as follows: unknown + chloride ions—no precipitate unknown + carbonate ions—precipitate unknown + sulfate ions—precipitate What is the cation in the solution?arrow_forward
- Citric acid, which can be obtained from lemon juice, has the molecular formula C6H8O7. A 0.250-g sample of citric acid dissolved in 25.0 mL of water requires 37.2 mL of 0.105 M NaOH for complete neutralization. What number of acidic hydrogens per molecule does citric acid have?arrow_forwardChromium(III) chloride forms many compounds with ammonia. To find the formula of one of these compounds, you titrate the NH3 in the compound with standardized acid. Cr(NH3)xCl3(aq) + x HCl(aq) x NH4+(aq) + Cr3+(aq) + (x + 3) Cl(aq) Assume that 24.26 mL of 1.500 M HCl is used to titrate 1.580 g of Cr(NH3)xCl3. What is the value of x?arrow_forward
