Gold metal will dissolve only in aqua regia, a mixture of concentrated hydrochloric acid and concentrated nitric acid in a 3:1 volume ratio. The products of the reaction between gold and the concentrated acids are AuCl4-(aq), NO(g), and H2O. The equation for this reaction where HNO3 and HCl are strong acids is
(b) What volumes of 12 M HCl and 16 M are HNO3 required to furnish the Cl- and NO3- ions to react with 25.0 g of gold?

- A 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_forwardArsenic 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 25.0-mL sample of vinegar (which contains the weak acid acetic acid, CH3CO2H) requires 28.33 mL of a 0.953 M solution of NaOH for titration to the equivalence point. What is the mass of acetic acid (molar mass = 60.05 g/mol), in grams, in the vinegar sample, and what is the concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar? CH3CO2H(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaCH3CO2(aq) + H2O(l)arrow_forward
- Triiodide ions are generated in solution by the following (unbalanced) reaction in acidic solution: IO3(aq) + I(aq) I3(aq) Triiodide ion concentration is determined by titration with a sodium thiosulfate (Na2S2O3) solution. The products are iodide ion and tetrathionate ion (S4O6). a. Balance the equation for the reaction of IO3 with I ions. b. A sample of 0.6013 g of potassium iodate was dissolved in water. Hydrochloric acid and solid potassium iodide were then added. What is the minimum mass of solid KI and the minimum volume of 3.00 M HQ required to convert all of the IO3 ions to I ions? c. Write and balance the equation for the reaction of S2O32 with I3 in acidic solution. d. A 25.00-mL sample of a 0.0100 M solution of KIO. is reacted with an excess of KI. It requires 32.04 mL of Na2S2O3 solution to titrate the I3 ions present. What is the molarity of the Na2S2O3 solution? e. How would you prepare 500.0 mL of the KIO3 solution in part d using solid KIO3?arrow_forwardMagnesium metal (a component of alloys used in aircraft and a reducing agent used in the production of uranium, titanium, and other active metals) is isolated from sea water by the following sequence of reactions: Mg2+(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)Mg(OH)2(s)+Ca2+(aq)Mg(OH)2(s)+2HCl(aq)MgCl2(s)+2H2O(l)MgCl2(l)electrolysisMg(s)+Cl2+Cl2(g) Sea water has a density of 1.026 g/cm3 and contains 1272 parts per million of magnesium a5 Mg2+(aq) by mass. What mass, in kilograms, of Ca(OH)2; is required to precipitate 99.9% of the magnesium in 1.00103 L of sea water?arrow_forwardThe exposed electrodes of a light bulb are placed in a solution of H2SO4 in an electrical circuit such that the light bulb is glowing. You add a dilute salt solution, and the bulb dims. Which of the following could be the salt in the solution? a. Ba(NO3)2 b. NaNO3 c. K2SO4 d. Ca(NO3)2 Justify your choices. For those you did not choose, explain why they are incorrect.arrow_forward
- Vitamin C is ascorbic acid, HC6H7O6, which can be titrated with a strong base. HC6H7O6(aq) + NaOH(aq) NaC6H7O6(aq) + H2O() A student dissolved a 500.0-mg vitamin C tablet in 200.0 mL water and then titrated it with 0.1250-M NaOH. It required 21.30 mL of the base to reach the equivalence point. Calculate the mass percentage of the tablet that is impurity.arrow_forwardThe active ingredients of an antacid tablet contained only magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide. Complete neutralization of a sample of the active ingredients required 48.5 mL of 0.187 M hydrochloric acid. The chloride salts from this neutralization were obtained by evaporation of the filtrate from the titration; they weighed 0. 4200 g. What was the percentage by mass of magnesium hydroxide in the active ingredients of the antacid tablet?arrow_forwardYou can dissolve an aluminum soft drink can in an aqueous base such as potassium hydroxide. 2 Al(s) + 2 KOH(aq) + 6 H2O(l) 2 KAI(OH)4(aq) + 3 H2(g) If you place 2.05 g of aluminum in a beaker with 185 mL of 1.35 M KOH, will any aluminum remain?
