Chapter 17, Problem 77E
A solution containing several metal ions is treated with dilute HCl; no precipitate forms. The pH is adjusted to about 1, and H2S is bubbled through. Again, no precipitate forms. The pH of the solution is then adjusted to about 8. Again, H2S is bubbled through. This time a precipitate forms. The filtrate from this solution is treated with (NH4)2HPO4. No precipitate forms. Which of these metal cations are either possibly present or definitely absent: Al3+, Na+, Ag+, Mg 2+?

A sample can contain any ion from groups I to IV. Adding 6M HCl does not produce precipitates.The H + concentrations are adjusted to 0.3M and the solution is saturated with H2S, no precipitate forms.However, when [ H+] is reduced to 10-9M and saturated again with H2S, precipitate appears. Subsequently, it is found that this precipitate is a group III hydroxide.In group IV analysis, a precipitate is formed by adding (NH4) 2CO3. What ions must be present from groups a) I, b) II, c) III d) IV ?
A solution containing a mixture of metal cations was treated as follows.
1. Dilute HCl was added and a precipitate formed. The precipitate was filtered off.
2. H,S was bubbled through the acidic solution. Again, a precipitate formed and was filtered off.
3. The pH was raised to about 9 and H,S was again bubbled through the solution. No precipitate formed.
4. Finally, sodium carbonate was added and no precipitate formed.

unknown
At least one of these ions was present.
None of these ions were present.
All of these ions were present.
A student performing his lab experiment receives her Unknown solution and begins to conduct tests to identify the anions present. The acidification with nitric acid generates bubbles. The addition of aqueous barium nitrate to the remaining solution yields no precipitate. The addition of aqueous silver nitrate forms a precipitate. This precipitate is then basified with 6M aqueous ammonia and the precipitate completely dissolves. The resulting solution is re-acidified with nitric acid and a white precipitate forms. Which anions were present in the student’s unknown? Explain.

- A mixture of sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is dissolved in water and titrated with 0.100 M HCl. Methyl orange and phenolphthalein are employed for the titration. Methyl orange changes color from red to yellow between pH 3.1 and 4.4 with increasing pH, while phenolphthalein changes from colorless to red between pH 8.0 and 9.6 with increasing pH. 12.00 mL of HCl is required to reach the phenolphthalein end point in the titration of the mixture. The titration of a second aliquot of the mixture requires 34.00 mL of titrant to reach the methyl orange end point.

HIn + H20= In + H3O* If the HIn species is "acid color" or colorless for the phenolphthalein, and the In species is "base color" or pink for this particular indicator, what color will appear in a flask in which a 0.2993 gram sample of KHP is completely neutralized with an excess of NaOH?

- The initial in the unknown analysis is the addition of 6. M HCl. This results in the formation of a precipitate. The solid precipitate is separate from the liquid solution. The solution could potentially contain K+, Ca2+, and Al3+. Next, 3M NH3 is added to the solution to separate the Al3+. This is a result of the fact that the Al3+ forms the hydroxide, Al(OH)3. But Ca2+ also forms the hydroxide, Ca(OH)2. Why does the Ca(OH)2 not separate out with the Al(OH)3?arrow_forwardou are tasked with determining a way to identify the following ions in solution: Na+, Ni2+, Ag+, and Pb2+.
