Pseudogout, a condition with symptoms similar to those of gout (see Problem 124is caused by the formation of calcium diphosphate (Ca3P2O7) crystals within tendons, cartilage, and ligaments. Calcium diphosphate precipitates out of blood plasma when diphosphate levels become abnormally high. If the calcium concentration in blood plasma is 9.2mg/dL and Kspfor calcium diphosphate is
124. Gout—a condition that results in joint swelling and pain—is caused by the formation of sodium urate (NaC5H3N4O3) crystals within tendons, cartilage, and ligaments. Sodium urate precipitates out of blood plasma when uric acid levels become abnormally high. This can happen as a result of eating too many rich foods and consuming too much alcohol, which is why gout is sometimes referred to as the “disease of kings.” If the sodium concentration in blood plasma is 0.140 M and Kspfor sodium urate is

- What mass of solid aluminum hydroxide can be produced when 50.0 mL of 0.200 M Al(NO3)3 is added to 200.0 mL of 0.100 M KOH?arrow_forwardAn 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.)arrow_forwardWhich of the following is more likely to precipitate the hydroxide ion? Cu(OH)2(s) *=» Ctr+(aq) + 2 OH’(aq) K = 1.6 X IO-19 Ca(OH)2(s) *=» Ca2+(aq) + 2 OH’(aq) K = 7.9 X 10"6arrow_forward
- You are given four different aqueous solutions and told that they each contain NaOH, Na2CO3, NaHCO3, or a mixture of these solutes. You do some experiments and gather these data about the samples. Sample A: Phenolphthalein is colorless in the solution. Sample B: The sample was titrated with HCl until the pink color of phenolphthalein disappeared, then methyl orange was added. The solution became pink. Methyl orange changes color from pH 3.01 (red) to pH 4.4 (orange). Sample C: Equal volumes of the sample were titrated with standardized acid. Using phenolphthalein as an indicator required 15.26 mL of standardized acid to change the phenolphthalein color. The other sample required 17.90 mL for a color change using methyl orange as the indicator. Sample D: Two equal volumes of the sample were titrated with standardized HCl. Using phenolphthalein as the indicator, it took 15.00 mL of acid to reach the equivalence point; using methyl orange as the indicator required 30.00 mL HCl to achieve neutralization. Identify the solute in each of the solutions.arrow_forwardWhat volume of 0.250 M NaOH is required to react completely with 0.0100 moles of H2SO4? (a) 80.0 mL (b) 60.0 mL (c) 40.0 mL (d) 125 mLarrow_forwardDistinguish between the terms slightly soluble and weak. electrolyte.arrow_forward
- 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_forwardCalcium 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?arrow_forwardAccording 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?arrow_forward
- What mass of solid AgBr is produced when 100.0 mL of 0.150 M AgNO3 is added to 20.0 mL of 1.00 M NaBr?arrow_forwardA student is given 0.930 g of an unknown acid, which can be either oxalic acid, H2C2O4, or citric acid, H3C6H5O7. To determine which acid she has, she titrates the unknown acid with 0.615 M NaOH. The equivalence point is reached when 33.6 mL are added. What is the unknown acid?arrow_forwardWhen 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?arrow_forward
