13. In a gravimetric analysis, a student predicted that 250 g of precipitate should form. During the experiment, the student filtered their solution and the mass of the dried precipitate was 275 g. What would be the most likely reason for this discrepancy? Precipitate was lost during filtration Precipitate was contaminated Precipitate was not completely dried Precipitate had broken down

Calcium carbonate, CaCO3, can be obtained in a very pure state. Standard solutions of calcium ion are usually prepared by dissolving calcium carbonate in acid. What mass of CaCO3 should be taken to prepare 500. mL of 0.0200 M calcium ion solution?
A student was given a 1.6240-g sample of a mixture of sodium nitrate and sodium chloride and was asked to find the percentage of each compound in the mixture. She dissolved the sample and added a solution that contained an excess of silver nitrate. The silver ion precipitated all of the chloride ion in the mixture as silver chloride. It was filtered, dried, and weighed. Its mass was 2.056g. What was the percentage of each compound in the mixture?
On the basis of the general solubility rules given in Table 7.1, predict which of the following substances are not likely to be soluble in water. Indicate which specific rule(s) led to your conclusion. :math>PbSe. BaCO3 :math>Mg(OH)2f. AlPO4 :math>Na2SO4g. PbCl2 :math>(NH4)2Sh. CaSO4
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) have been used extensively as dielectric materials in electrical transformers. Because PCBs have been shown to be potentially harmful, analysis for their presence in the environment has become very important. PCBs are manufactured according to the following generic reaction: C12H10+nCl2C12H10nCln.+nHCl This reaction results in a mixture of PCB products. The mixture is analyzed by decomposing the PCBs and then precipitating the resulting Cl asAgCl. a. Develop a general equation that relates the average value of n to the mass of a given mixture of PCBs and the mass of AgCl produced. b. A 0.1947-g sample of a commercial PCB yielded 0.4791 g of AgCl. What is the average value of n for this sample?
Describe the use of gravimetric analysis to determine the percentage of chlorine in a water-soluble unknown solid.
A solution is defined as a homogeneous mixture. Is a small sample of air a solution? Is the atmosphere a solution?
On Easter Sunday, April 3, 1983, nitric acid spilled from a tank car near downtown Denver, Colorado. The spill was neutralized with sodium carbonate: 2HNO3(aq)+Na2CO3(aq)2NaNO3(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) a. Calculate H for this reaction. Approximately 2.0 104 gal nitric acid was spilled. Assume that the acid was an aqueous solution containing 70.0% HNO3 by mass with a density of 1.42 glcm3. What mass of sodium carbonate was required for complete neutralization of the spill, and what quantity of heat was evolved? (Hf for NaNO3(aq) = 467 kJ/mol) b. According to The Denver Post for April 4, 1983, authorities feared that dangerous air pollution might occur during the neutralization. Considering the magnitude of H, what was their major concern?
Apply Students conducted a lab to investigate limiting and excess reactants. The students added different volumes of sodium phosphate solution (Na3PO4) to a beaker. They then added a constant volume of cobalt(ll) nitrate solution (CO(NO3)2) stirred the contents, and allowed the beakers to sit overnight. The next day, each beaker had a purple precipitate at the bottom. The students decanted the supernatant from each beaker, divided it into two samples, and added one drop Of sodium phosphate solution to one sample and one drop of cobalt(ll) nitrate solution to the second sample. Their results are shown in Table 11.5. a. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction. b. Based on the results, identify the limiting reactant and the excess reactant for each trial.
Lead poisoning has been a hazard for centuries. Some scholars believe that the decline of the Roman Empire can be traced, in part, to high levels of lead in water from containers and pipes, and from wine that was stored in leadglazed containers. If we presume that the typical Roman water supply was saturated with lead carbonate, PbCO3 (Ksp = 7.4 1014), how much lead will a Roman ingest in a year if he or she drinks 1 L/day from the container?
The equation for a reaction by which a solution of sodium carbonate may be standardized is 2HC7H5O2+Na2CO32NaC7H5O2+H2O+CO2. A student determines that 5.038g of HC7H5O2 uses 51.89mL of sodium carbonate solution in the titration. Find the molarity of the sodium carbonate.
Lead(II) nitrate is added to four separate beakers that contain the following: aker 1 (sodium chloride) eaker 2 (sodium hydroxide) eaker 3 (sodium phosphate) eaker 4 (sodium sulfate) ter the addition of the lead(II) nitrate solution to each beaker, in which beaker(s) will a precipitate form? Use the general solubility rules given in Table 7.1 to guide you.
