- Bone was dissolved in hydrochloric acid, giving 50.0 mL of solution containing calcium chloride, CaCL2. To precipitate the calcium ion from the resulting solution, an excess of potassium oxalate was added. The precipitate of calcium oxalate, CaC2O4, weighed 1.437 g. What was the molarity of CaCl2 in the solution?arrow_forwardA 1.345-g sample of a compound of barium and oxygen was dissolved in hydrochloric acid to give a solution of barium ion, which was then precipitated with an excess of potassium chromate to give 2.012 g of barium chromate, BaCrO4. What is the formula of the compound?arrow_forwardTwenty-five mL of a 0.388 M solution of Na2SO4 is mixed with 35.3 mL of 0.229 M Na2SO4. What is the molarity of the resulting solution? Assume that the volumes are additive.arrow_forward
- Arsenic acid, H3AsO4, is a poisonous acid that has been used in the treatment of wood to prevent insect damage. Arsenic acid has three acidic protons. Say you take a 25.00-mL sample of arsenic acid and prepare it for titration with NaOH by adding 25.00 mL of water. The complete neutralization of this solution requires the addition of 53.07 mL of 0.6441 M NaOH solution. Write the balanced chemical reaction for the titration, and calculate the molarity of the arsenic acid sample.arrow_forwardA solution of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2, is titrated with a solution of potassium permanganate, KMnO4. The reaction is 5H2O2(aq)+2KMnO4(aq)+3H2SO4(aq)5O2(g)+2MnSO4(aq)+K2SO4(aq)+8H2O(l) It requires 51.7 mL of 0.145 M KMnO4 to titrate 20.0 g of the solution of hydrogen peroxide. What is the mass percentage of H2O2 in the solution?arrow_forward39. Standard solutions of calcium ion used to test for water hardness are prepared by dissolving pure calcium carbonate. CaCO3, in dilute hydrochloric acid. A 1.745-g sample of CaCO3 is placed in a 250.O-mL volumetric flask and dissolved in HCI. Then the solution is diluted to the calibration mark of the volumetric flask. Calculate the resulting molarity of calcium ion.arrow_forward
- When 10. L of water is added to 3.0 L of 6.0 M H2SO4, what is the molarity of the resulting solution? Assume the volumes are additive.arrow_forwardWrite the overall equation (including the physical states), the complete ionic equation, and the net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous solutions of sodium hydroxide and magnesium chloride. What mass of solid forms on mixing 50.0 mL of 3.30 M sodium hydroxide with 35.0 mL of 1.00 M magnesium chloride?arrow_forwardA 300.0-g sample of a solid is made up of a uniform mixture of NaNO3, MgCl2, and BaCl2. A 100.0-g sample of the mixture is dissolved in water and treated with an excess of KOH. The precipitate from the reaction has a mass of 13.47 g. The remaining 200.0-g sample is also dissolved in water and treated with an aqueous solution of AgNO3. The resulting precipitate has a mass of 195.8 g. What are the masses of NaNO3, MgCl2, and BaCl2 in the 300.0-g sample?arrow_forward
- Lactic acid, C3H6O3 is the acid present in sour milk. A 0.100-g sample of pure lactic acid requires 12.95 mL of 0.0857 M sodium hydroxide for complete reaction. How many moles of hydroxide ion are required to neutralize one mole of lactic acid?arrow_forwardChlorisondamine chloride (C14H20Cl6N2) is a drug used in the treatment of hypertension. A 1.28-g sample of a medication containing the drug was treated to destroy the organic material and to release all the chlorine as chloride ion. When the filtered solution containing chloride ion was treated with an excess of silver nitrate, 0.104 g silver chloride was recovered. Calculate the mass percent of chlorisondamine chloride in the medication, assuming the drug is the only source of chloride.arrow_forward
