Pseudogout, a condition with symptoms similar to those of gout (see Problem 124is caused by the formation of calcium diphosphate (Ca3P2O7) crystals within tendons, cartilage, and ligaments. Calcium diphosphate precipitates out of blood plasma when diphosphate levels become abnormally high. If the calcium concentration in blood plasma is 9.2mg/dL and Kspfor calcium diphosphate is
124. 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

- What is the molar concentration of an H2SO4 solution if a 50.0-mL sample requires 9.65 mL of a 1.33 M solution of NaOH to reach the equivalence point?arrow_forwardWhat mass of solid aluminum hydroxide can be produced when 50.0 mL of 0.200 M Al(NO3)3 is added to 200.0 mL of 0.100 M KOH?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
- For a product to be called vinegar, it must contain at least 5.0% acetic acid, HC2H3O2, by mass. A 10.00-g sample of a raspberry vinegar is titrated with 0.1250 M Ba(OH)2 and required 37.50 mL for complete neutralization. Can the product be called a vinegar?arrow_forwardIn order to determine the purity of ammonium sulfate, a sample with a mass of 0.850 g is dissolved in KOH. The equation for the reaction that takes place is NH4+(aq)+OH(aq)NH3(aq)+H2OThe ammonia liberated is distilled into a flask that contains 50.00 mL of 0.250 M HCI. Not all the HCI is consumed. The excess HCI reacts with 17.3 mL of 0.120 M NaOH. What is the mass percent of (NH4)2SO4 in the sample?arrow_forwardThe molarity of iodine in solution can be determined by titration with arsenious acid, H3AsO4. The unbalanced equation for the reaction is H3AsO3(aq)+I2(aq)+H2O2 I(aq)+H3AsO4(aq)+2 H+(aq)A 243-mL solution of aqueous iodine is prepared by dissolving iodine crystals in water. A fifty-mL portion of the solution requires 15.42 mL of 0.134 M H3AsO3 for complete reaction. What is the molarity of the solution? How many grams of iodine were added to the solution?arrow_forward
