Concept explainers
Calcium levels in blood can be determined by adding oxalate ion to precipitate calcium oxalate, CaC204, followed by dissolving the precipitate in aqueous acid and titrating the resulting oxalic acid (H2C2O4) with KMnO4:
How many milligrams of Ca2+ are present in 10.0 ml, of blood if 21.08 ml, of 0.000 988 M KMnO4 solution is needed for the titration?

- A student is asked to identify the metal nitrate present in an aqueous solution. The cation in the solution can be either Na+, Ba2+, Ag+, or Ni2+. Results of solubility experiments are as follows: unknown + chloride ions—no precipitate unknown + carbonate ions—precipitate unknown + sulfate ions—precipitate What is the cation in the solution?arrow_forwardAn aqueous sample is known to contain either Mg2+ or Ba2+ ions. Treatment of the sample with Na2CO3 produces a precipitate, but treatment with ammonium sulfate does not. Use the solubility rules (see Table 4.1) to determine which cation is present.arrow_forward1. Sometimes a reaction can fall in more than one category. Into what category (or categories) does the reaction of Ba(OH)2(aq) + H+PO4(aq) fit? acid-base and oxidation-reduction oxidation-reduction acid-base and precipitation precipitationarrow_forward
- Separate samples of a solution of an unknown soluble ionic compound are treated with KCl, Na2SO4, and NaOH. A precipitate forms only when Na2SO4 is added. Which cations could be present in the unknown soluble ionic compound?arrow_forwardConsider the following generic equation OH(aq)+HB(aq) B(aq)+H2OFor which of the following pairs would this be the correct prototype equation for the acid-base reaction in solution? If it is not correct, write the proper equation for the acid-base reaction between the pair. (a) hydrochloric acid and pyridine, C5H5N (b) sulfuric acid and rubidium hydroxide (c) potassium hydroxide and hydrofluoric acid (d) ammonia and hydriodic acid (e) strontium hydroxide and hydrocyanic acidarrow_forwardA soluble iodide was dissolved in water. Then an excess of silver nitrate, AgNO3, was added to precipitate all of the iodide ion as silver iodide, AgI. If 1.545 g of the soluble iodide gave 2.185 g of silver iodide, how many grams of iodine are in the sample of soluble iodide? What is the mass percentage of iodine, I, in the compound?arrow_forward
