Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The balanced net ionic equation has to be written for all the reactions for the given situation.
Concept introduction:
While writing the net ionic equation, an understanding of spectator ions is very important. The spectator ions are the ions which are found in same form in both the reactant and product sides. So, while writing the net ionic equation, these ions are not involved or simply not counted.
Answer to Problem 45QAP
The net ionic equations are:
Explanation of Solution
Given Information:
- (1) A solution of potassium dichromate is made basic with sodium hydroxide. The color changes from red to yellow.
(2) The addition of silver nitrate to the yellow solution gives the precipitate.
(3) The precipitate dissolves in concentrated ammonia.
(4) The dissolved precipitate again reforms when nitric acid is added.
From the given details, we can infer that four independent reactions will take place. The balanced net ionic equation will be written for each step of procedure separately.
Step1: A solution of potassium dichromate is made basic with sodium hydroxide.
The color changes from red to yellow.
The ionic reaction form will be:
Step 2: The solution is added with AgNO3 :
The spectator ions
Net ionic equation is:
Step3: The precipitate is dissolved in concentrated ammonia.
The reaction is automatically in its net ionic form.
Step 4: The dissolved precipitate again reforms when nitric acid is added.
Here, the spectator ion is
The net ionic equations are:

- A 0.250-M sodium sulfate solution is added to a 0.200-M barium nitrate solution and 0.700 g barium sulfate precipitates. Write the balanced equation for this reaction. Calculate the minimum volume of barium nitrate solution that was used. Calculate the minimum volume of sodium sulfate needed to precipitate 0.700 g barium sulfate. Assume 100% yield.arrow_forwardYou are given four different aqueous solutions and told that they each contain NaOH, Na2CO3, NaHCO3, or a mixture of these solutes. You do some experiments and gather these data about the samples. Sample A: Phenolphthalein is colorless in the solution. Sample B: The sample was titrated with HCl until the pink color of phenolphthalein disappeared, then methyl orange was added. The solution became pink. Methyl orange changes color from pH 3.01 (red) to pH 4.4 (orange). Sample C: Equal volumes of the sample were titrated with standardized acid. Using phenolphthalein as an indicator required 15.26 mL of standardized acid to change the phenolphthalein color. The other sample required 17.90 mL for a color change using methyl orange as the indicator. Sample D: Two equal volumes of the sample were titrated with standardized HCl. Using phenolphthalein as the indicator, it took 15.00 mL of acid to reach the equivalence point; using methyl orange as the indicator required 30.00 mL HCl to achieve neutralization. Identify the solute in each of the solutions.arrow_forwardWhen carbon dioxide dissolves in water it reacts to produce carbonic acid, H2CO3(aq), which can ionize in two steps.

Assuming the total solution volume after mixing is 750. mL, what is the concentration of hydrochloric acid in the resulting solution? What is its pH?arrow_forwardDraw the flow diagram for a calculation that illustrates how to use a titration to determine the concentration of a solution of HNO3, by reaction with 1.00 g Na2CO3.arrow_forwardPhosphate buffers are important in regulating the pH of intracellular fluids.
