Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The step for the mass in grams of vitamin C in the tablet is incorrect has to be identified.
Concept introduction:
Number of moles can be calculated by using following formula,
The Molarity of the solution can be calculated by using following formula
(a)
Explanation of Solution
The reaction is shown below,
According to the balanced equation, 1 moles of citric acid (
Step 1:
Given,
Moles of
Step 1 is incorrect answer, because the conversion of mL to litter is missing.
Step 2:
Given,
Moles of
Step is 2 is incorrect because, number of moles of bromine is wrong. Hence Step is 2 is incorrect.
Step 3:
Given,
Moles of
Step is 3 is incorrect because, moles of
Step 4:
Given,
Step is 4 is incorrect because, mass in grams of
Over all, step 1, step 2, step 3 and step 4 are incorrect answer.
(b)
Interpretation:
The correct result has to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Refer to part (a)

- 1. 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_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_forwardAn antacid tablet has calcium carbonate as the active ingredient; other ingredients include a starch binder. You dissolve the tablet in hydrochloric acid and filter off insoluble material. You add potassium oxalate to the filtrate (containing calcium ion) to precipitate calcium oxalate. If a tablet weighing 0.750 g gave 0.629 g of calcium oxalate, what is the mass percentage of active ingredient in the tablet?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_forwardDescribe some physical and chemical properties of acids and bases. What is meant by a strong acid or base? Are strong acids and bases also strong electrolytes? Give several examples of strong acids and strong bases.arrow_forward
- Write a balanced equation for the reaction of hydroiodic acid, HI, with calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2. Then, write the balanced complete ionic equation and the net ionic equation for this neutralization reaction.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_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_forward
- Chlorisondamine 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_forwardCitric acid, which can be obtained from lemon juice, has the molecular formula C6H8O7. A 0.250-g sample of citric acid dissolved in 25.0 mL of water requires 37.2 mL of 0.105 M NaOH for complete neutralization. What number of acidic hydrogens per molecule does citric acid have?arrow_forward
