Show the complete solution (include all units of measurement and the required conversion factors) to each of
the following problems. Enclose the final numerical answer (round-off the final answer to the correct number of
significant figures) in a box.
Example 1: A 0.2160 g sample of primary standard grade HgO (M.M. = 216.59) was dissolved in
75 mL of an aqueous solution of KI. The liberated OH- needed 22.13 mL of HCl to reach the end
point. Calculate the molarity of the HCl solution.
Preliminary Rxn: HgO + 4I- + H2O ¾® HgI42- + 2OH-
Titration Rxn: OH- + HCl ¾® H2O + CI-

Example 2 : A 0.6430 g sample of a water-soluble fertilizer was dissolved and analyzed for nitrogen
using the Kjeldahl method. After digestion, the distilled ammonia was collected in 100 mL of 0.334 M
boric acid. This solution required 21.40 mL of 0.2020 M HCl for titration to the methyl red end point.
Calculate the %N in the fertilizer.
