Introduction to Chemistry
- An analytical chemist has a solution containing chloride ion, Cl. She decides to determine the amount of chloride ion in the solution by titrating 50.0 mL of this solution by 0.100 M AgNO3. As a way to indicate the endpoint of the titration, she added 1.00 g of potassium chromate, K2CrO4 (see Figure 17.5). As she slowly added the silver nitrate to the solution, a white precipitate formed. She continued the titration, with more white precipitate forming. Finally, the solution turned red, from another precipitate. The volume of the solution at this point was 60.3 mL. How many moles of chloride ion were there in the original solution? How many moles of chloride ion were there in the final solution? You may make any reasonable approximations.arrow_forwardA buffer is made up of 0.300 L each of 0.500 M KH2PO4 and 0.317 M K2HPO4. Assuming that volumes are additive, calculate (a) the pH of the buffer. (b) the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.0500 mol of HCl to 0.600 L of buffer. (c) the pH of the buffer after the addition of 0.0500 mol of NaOH to 0.600 L of buffer.arrow_forwardMarble is almost pure CaCO3. Acid rain has a devastating effect on marble statuary left outdoors. Assume that the reaction which occurs is CoCO3(s)+ H+(aq)Ca2+(aq)+HCO3(aq) Neglecting all other competing equilibria and using Tables 15.1 and 13.2, calculate (a) K for the reaction. (b) the molar solubility of CaCO3 in pure water. (c) the molar solubility of CaCO3 in acid rainwater with a pH of 4.00.arrow_forward
- Many natural processes can be studied in the laboratory but only in an environment of controlled pH. Which of these combinations is the best to buffer the pH at approximately 7? Explain your choice. H3PO4/NaH2PO4 NaH2PO4/Na2HPO4 Na2HPO4/Na3PO4arrow_forwardA buffer solution is composed of 1.360 g of KH2PO4 and 5.677 g of Na2HPO4. (a) What is the pH of the buffer solution? (b) What mass of KH2PO4 must be added to decrease the buffer solution pH by 0.50 unit from the value calculated in part (a)?arrow_forwardA buffer solution with it pH of 12.00 consists of Na3PO4 and Na2HPO4.

(c) Which component of the buffer must be added to change the pH to 12.25? What mass of that component is required?arrow_forward
