- A mountain lake that is 4.0 km × 6.0 km with an average depth of 75 m has an H+(aq) concentration of 1.3 × 10−6 M. Calculate the mass of calcium carbonate that would have to be added to the lake to change the H+(aq) concentration to 6.3 × 10−8 M. Assume that all the carbonate is converted to carbon dioxide, which bubbles out of the solution.arrow_forwardUse the appropriate tables to calculate H for (a) the reaction between MgC03(s) and a strong acid to give Mg2+(aq), CO2(g), and water. (b) the precipitation of iron(III) hydroxide from the reaction between iron(III) and hydroxide ions.arrow_forwardVitamin C has the formula C6H8O6. Besides being an acid, it is a reducing agent. One method for determining the amount of vitamin C in a sample is to titrate it with a solution of bromine, Br2, an oxidizing agent. C6H8O6(aq) + Br2(aq) 2 HBr(aq) + C6H6O6(aq) A 1.00-g "chewable" vitamin C tablet requires 27.85 ml of 0.102 M Br2 for titration to the equivalence point. What is the mass of vitamin C in the tablet?arrow_forward
- Magnesium 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_forwardA sample of solid calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2, is allowed to stand in water until a saturated solution is formed. A titration of 75.00 mL of this solution with 5.00102M HCl requires 36.6 mL of the acid to reach the end point. Ca(OH)2(aq)+2HCl(aq)CaCl2(aq)+2H2O(l) What is the molarity?arrow_forwardThe molarity of iodine in solution can be determined by titration with arsenious acid, H3AsO4. The unbalanced equation for the reaction is H3AsO3(aq)+I2(aq)+H2O2 I(aq)+H3AsO4(aq)+2 H+(aq)A 243-mL solution of aqueous iodine is prepared by dissolving iodine crystals in water. A fifty-mL portion of the solution requires 15.42 mL of 0.134 M H3AsO3 for complete reaction. What is the molarity of the solution? How many grams of iodine were added to the solution?arrow_forward
- The equivalence point for the titration of a 25.00-mL sample of CSOH solution with 0.1062 M HNO3 is at 35.27 mL. What is the concentration of the CsOH solution?arrow_forward60. Suppose 325 in L of 0.150 M NaOH is needed for your experiment. How would you prepare this if all that is available is a 1.01 M NaOH solution?arrow_forwardFollow the directions of Question 21 for the following bases: (a) toluidine, C7H9N (b) strontium hydroxide (c) indol, C8H6NH (d) aqueous ammoniaarrow_forward
- If enough Li2SO4 dissolves in water to make a 0.33 M solution, explain why the molar concentration of Li+ is different from the molar concentration of Li2SO4(aq).arrow_forwardAn acid is titrated with NaOH. The following beakers are illustrations of the contents of the beaker at various times during the titration. These are presented out of order. Note: Counter-ions and water molecules have been omitted from the illustrations for clarity. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) a. Is the acid a weak or strong acid? How can you tell? b. Arrange the beakers in order of what the contents would look like as the titration progresses. c. For which beaker would pH = pKa? Explain your answer. d. Which beaker represents the equivalence point of the titration? Explain your answer. e. For which beaker would the Ka value for the acid not be necessary to determine the pH? Explain your answer.arrow_forwardCarminic acid, a naturally occurring red pigment extracted from the cochineal insect, contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. It was commonly used as a dye in the first half of the nineteenth century. It is 53.66% C and 4.09% H by mass. A titration required 18.02 mL of 0.0406 M NaOH to neutralize 0.3602 g carminic acid. Assuming that there is only one acidic hydrogen per molecule, what is the molecular formula of carminic acid?arrow_forward
