Concept explainers
Gout—a condition that results in joint swelling and pain—is caused by the formation of sodium urate (NaC5H3N4O3) crystals within tendons, cartilage, and ligaments. Sodium urate precipitates out of blood plasma when uric acid levels become abnormally high. This can happen as a result of eating too many rich foods and consuming too much alcohol, which is why gout is sometimes referred to as the “disease of kings.” If the sodium concentration in blood plasma is 0.140 M and Kspfor sodium urate is

- A 1.0-L solution that is 4.2 M in ammonia is mixed with 26.7 g of ammonium chloride. a What is the hydroxide-ion concentration of this solution? b 0.075 mol of MgCl2 is added to the above solution. Assume that there is no volume change. After Mg(OH)2 has precipitated, what is the molar concentration of magnesium ion? What percent of the Mg2+ is removed from solution?arrow_forwardA saturated solution of a slightly soluble electrolyte in contact with some of the solid electrolyte is said to be a system in equilibrium. Explain. Why is such a system called a heterogeneous equilibrium?arrow_forwardWhich 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 fine particles before dissolving. c. The temperature changes.arrow_forward
- The three flasks shown below depict the titration of an aqueous NaOH solution with HCl at different points. One represents the titration prior to the equivalence point, another represents the titration at the equivalence point, and the other represents the titration past the equivalence point. (Sodium ions and solvent water molecules have been omitted for clarity.) a Write the balanced chemical equation for the titration. b Label each of the beakers shown to indicate which point in the titration they represent. c For each solution, indicate whether you expect it to be acidic, basic, or neutral.arrow_forwardIn a laboratory experiment, a student has 1 L of solution containing a weak base at a concentration of 0.300 M. In order to create a buffer, a strong acid is added, which converts some of the base in the solution to its conjugate weak acid to create a buffer. If the student wants to create the most effective buffer that can be equally resistant to both acids and bases how many moles of strong acid should the student add to the buffer? (Please provide your answer to 3 decimal places.)arrow_forward1. (a) Which of the following statements about buffers is FALSE? a buffer solution can react with either H3O+ or OH- ions the pH of a buffer never changes even after the addition of H3O+ or OH- ions most body fluids contain natural buffer system a buffer consists of a weak acid and its soluble ionic salt (b) This constitutes the two layers of colloids and imparts stability to the colloidal suspension counter ion layer primary adsorption layer electric double layer secondary ion layerarrow_forward
- 2. The necessary condition for precipitation of a salt in aqueous medium is ionic product of the salt A. must be greater than the solubility product constant of the salt B. must be less than the solubility product constant of the salt C. must be greater than the ionic product of waterD. must be less than the ionic product of waterE. is such that the substance cannot make a saturated solution at any temperaturearrow_forwardCalculate the moles of H+ delivered to eachsample based on your experimental dataand record these values in Data Table 1. 0.1M HCl = 0.1 moles HCl / 1 Liter solution Calculate the moles of OH- in each sampleand record these values in Data Table 1.
