Chem 23 3rd Problem Set

1. A solution contains 1.569 mg of CoSO4 (155.0 g/ mol) per milliliter. Calculate

(a) the volume of 0.007840 M EDTA needed to titrate a 25.00-mL aliquot of this
solution.

(b) the volume of 0.009275 M Zn2+ needed to titrate the excess reagent after
addition of 50.00 mL of 0.007840 M EDTA to a 25.00-mL aliquot of this solution.

(c) the volume of 0.007840 M EDTA needed to titrate the Zn2+ displaced by Co2+
following addition of an unmeasured excess of ZnY2- to a 25.00-mL aliquot of
the CoSO4 solution.

2. The Zn in a 0.7457 g sample of foot powder was titrated with 22.57 mL of 0.01639
M EDTA. Calculate the percent Zn in this sample.

3. What is pAg when 25.00 mL of 1.00x 10-2 M AgNO3 is added to 25.00 mL of 1.00 x
10-2 M NaCl? Ksp (AgCl) = 1.8 x 10-10.

4. A solution of 0.100 M XNO3 is used to titrate a 100.00 mL solution of 0.100 M KCl.

The Ksp of XCl is 1.8 x 10-11

1. What is pX if 50.00 mL of the titrant is added to the KCl solution?

2. What is pX if 100.00 mL of the titrant is added?

3. What is pX if 150.00 mL of the titrant is added?

5. A 0.5843-g sample of a plant food preparation was analyzed for its N content by
the Kjeldahl method, the liberated NH3 being collected in 50.00 mL of 0.1062 M
HCl. The excess acid required an 11.89 mL back-titration with 0.0925 M NaOH.
Express the results of this analysis in terms of

(a) %N

(b) %urea

(c) %protein

6. A NaOH solution was 0.1019 M immediately after standardization. Exactly 500.0

mL of the reagent was left exposed to air for several days and absorbed 0.652 g of
CO2. Calculate the relative carbonate error in the determination of acetic acid with
this solution if the titrations were performed with phenolphthalein.

7. Calculate the pH of the solution that results when 20.0 mL of 0.1750 M formic acid
is

(a) diluted to 45.0 mL with distilled water.

(b) mixed with 25.0 mL of 0.140 M NaOH solution.

(c) mixed with 25.0 mL of 0.200 M NaOH solution.

(d) mixed with 25.0 mL of 0.200 sodium formate solution.
