- A solution is made up by adding 0.632 g of barium nitrate and 0.920 g of lanthanum nitrate, to La(NO3)3 enough water to make 0.500 L of solution. Solid sodium iodate, NalO3, is added (without volume change) to the solution. (a) Which salt will precipitate first? La(IO3)3 (Ksp=7.501012) or BAIO3 (Ksp=4.0109)? (b) What is [IO3-] when the salt in (a) first begins to precipitate?arrow_forwardAniline hydrochloride, (C6H5NH3)Cl, is a weak acid. (Its conjugate base is the weak base aniline, C6H5NH2.) The acid can be titrated with a strong base such as NaOH. C6H5NH3+(aq)+OH(aq)C6H5NH2(aq)+H2O(l) Assume 50.0 mL of 0.100 M aniline hydrochloride is titrated with 0.185 M NaOH.

(e) Calculate the pH of the solution after adding 10.0, 20.0, and 30.0 mL of base. (f) Combine the information in parts (a), (b), (c), and (e), and plot an approximate titration curve.arrow_forwardWhen a diprotic acid, H2A, is titrated with NaOH, the protons on the diprotic acid are generally removed one at a time, resulting in a pH curve that has the following generic shape: a. Notice that the plot has essentially two titration curves. If the first equivalence point occurs at 100.0 mL NaOH added, what volume of NaOH added corresponds to the second equivalence point? b. For the following volumes of NaOH added, list the major species present after the OH reacts completely. i. 0 mL NaOH added ii. between 0 and 100.0 mL NaOH added iii. 100.0 mL NaOH added iv. between 100.0 and 200.0 mL NaOH added v. 200.0 mL NaOH added vi. after 200.0 mL NaOH added c. If the pH at 50.0 mL NaOH added is 4.0, and the pH at 150.0 mL NaOH added is 8.0, determine the values Ka1, and Ka2 for the diprotic acid.arrow_forward
