- Vitamin 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_forwardA solution of hydrochloric acid has a volume of 250. mL and a pH of 1.92. Exactly 250. mL of 0.0105 M NaOH is added. What is the pH of the resulting solution?arrow_forwardExplain the difference between a monoprotic acid, a diprotic acid, and a triprotic acid. Give an example of each.arrow_forward
- Some of the substances commonly used in stomach antacids are MgO, Mg(OH)2, and Al(OH)3. a. Write a balanced equation for the neutralization of hydrochloric acid by each of these substances. b. Which of these substances will neutralize the greatest amount of 0.10 M HCl per gram?arrow_forwardGive an example of a polyprotic acid and write equations for the successive neutralizations of the acidic hydrogen atoms of the acid molecule to produce a series of salts.arrow_forwardWhat is the net ionic equation for the reaction of acetic acid and sodium hydroxide? (a) H3O+(aq) + OH(aq) 2 H2O(l) (b) Na+(aq) + CH3CO2(aq) NaCH3CO2(aq) (c) CH3CO2H(aq) + OH(aq) H2O(l) + CH3CO2(aq) (d) CH3CO2H(aq) + NaOH(aq) H2O(l) NaCH3CO2(aq)arrow_forward
- 3.85 The particulate drawing shown represents an aqueous so- lution of an acid HA, where A might represent an atom or group of atoms. Is HA a strong acid or a weak acid? Explain how you can tell from the picture.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_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
- Three acid samples are prepared for titration by 0.01 M NaOH: 1 Sample 1 is prepared by dissolving 0.01 mol of HCl in 50 mL of water. 2 Sample 2 is prepared by dissolving 0.01 mol of HCl in 60 mL of water. 3 Sample 3 is prepared by dissolving 0.01 mol of HCl in 70 mL of water. a Without performing a formal calculation, compare the concentrations of the three acid samples (rank them from highest to lowest). b When the titration is performed, which sample, if any, will require the largest volume of the 0.01 M NaOH for neutralization?arrow_forwardA scientist has synthesized a diprotic organic acid, H2A, with a molar mass of 124.0 g/mol. The acid must be neutralized (forming the potassium salt) for an important experiment. Calculate the volume of 0.221 M KOH that is needed to neutralize 24.93 g of the acid, forming K2A.arrow_forward
