A 36.0 mL sample of aqueous sulfuric acid was titrated with 0.250 M KOH(aq) until the acid-base indicator signaled that the solution was neutralized. The mixture was then carefully evaporated to dryness, the residue was dried in a drying oven. The residue was then weighed and a value of 861 mg was obtained for its mass. Calculate a value for the volume of the potassium hydroxide solution that was used in the titration from this data. Answer with correct units and significant figures.

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?
When 85.0 mL of 0.250 M Ba(OH)2 solution is added to 85.00 mL of 0.250 M Al (NO3)3 solution, a white gelatinous precipitate of Al(OH)3; is formed. Assuming 100% yield, (a) what mass (in grams) of Al(OH)3 is formed? (b) what is the molarity of each of the ions Ba2+, OH-, Al3+, NO3- in the resulting solution?
An artificial fruit beverage contains 12.0 g of tartaric acid, H2C4H4O6, to achieve tartness. It is titrated with a basic solution that has a density of 1.045 g/cm3 and contains 5.00 mass percent KOH. What volume of the basic solution is required? (One mole of tartaric acid reacts with two moles of hydroxide ion.)
According to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), waste material is classified as toxic and must be handled as hazardous if the lead concentration exceeds 5 mg/L. By adding chloride ion, the lead ion will precipitate as PbCl2, which can be separated from the liquid portion. Once the lead has been removed, the rest of the waste can be sent to a conventional waste treatment facility. How many grams of sodium chloride must be added to 500 L of a waste solution to reduce the concentration of the Pb2+ ion from 10 to 5 mg/L?
A sample of material contains the components NaOH, Na2CO3, NaHCO3 , or possible mixtures of these. Two samples, each weighing 1 .000 gram, are dissolved in water. To one sample phenolphthalein is added and the solution is titrated cold with 1.038 N acid, of which 17.96 ml are required. The other sample is titrated cold with methyl orange as an indicator, and 21.17 ml of the same acid is required. Calculate the percentage of alkalies present.
The active ingredient in a certain toilet cleaner that claims to ‘remove lime scale and rust’ is hydrochloric acid of approximate concentration 11.6 mol/L. To analyze this toilet cleaner, a quality control chemist first delivered a 10-mL aliquot of the toilet cleaner into a 250-mL volumetric flask, then made up the diluted solution. She then titrated a 27 mL aliquot of this diluted solution against standard sodium hydroxide solution of concentration 0.1705 mol/L. The expected titre (or volume of the titrant in mL) would be approximately:
Q2) a) Explain the titration curve (variation of pH with respect to addition of titrant) with suitable diagram and reactions involved when a strong base is added as titrant to a weak acid as analyte. (b) The saline water discharged from a thermal desalination plant was analyzed and it has following composition.(i) If the discharged water sample contains 4.2 g of potassiumchloride (KCl) per 500 mL of solution, determine its molarity.(ii) The sample contains CaCl2 and its concentration was found to be 0.04M. Calculate grams of CaCl2 present in 100 mL of the sample. (c) In complexometric titration, explain why a constant pH need to be maintained during estimation of metal ions using EDTA.
1. A sample of pure sodium oxalate, Na2C2O4 , weighing 0.2856 g is dissolved in water, sulfuric acid is added, and the solution titrated at 70°C , requiring 45.12 mL of a KMNO4 solution. The end point is overrun and back-titration is carried out with 1.74 mL of a 0.1032 N solution of oxalic acid. Calculate the normality of the KMNO4 solution. Hint: A redox reaction is involed between oxalate and permanganate. Look at the changes in oxidation state by determining the balanced redox reaction: 5C20,2 + + 2MN2+ 2 Mn04 + 10H* → 10CO2 + 8H20
The arsenic in a 1.203-g sample of a pesticide was converted to H3AsO4 by suitable treatment. The acid was then neutralized, and 40.00 mL of 0.05871 M AgNO3 was added to precipitate the arsenic quantitatively as Ag3AsO4. The excess Ag+ in the filtrate and in the washings from the precipitate was titrated with 9.63 mL of 0.1000 M KSCN, and the reaction was. Find the percentage of As2O3 in the sample.
