Chapter 4, Problem 138
A sample weighing 14.98 g and containing a small amount of copper was treated to give a solution containing aque-ous Cu2+ ions. Sodium iodide was then added to yield solid copper(I) iodide plus I3 with thiosulfate, S2O3 - ion, and the I3 - was titrated 2-. The titration required 10.49 mL of 0.100 M Na2S2O3 for complete reaction. What is the mass percent copper in the sample? The balanced equations are

Some metals occur naturally in their elemental state while others occur as compounds in ores. Gold, for instance, is found as the free metal; mercury is obtained by heating mercury(II) sulfide ore in oxygen; and zinc is obtained by heating zinc(II) oxide ore with coke (carbon). Judging from their positions in the activity series, which of the metals sil-ver, platinum, and chromium would probably be obtained by (a) finding it in its elemental state?

(b) If Ksp = 1.1 * 10-12 for Ag2CrO4, what are the molar concentrations of Ag+ and CrO4 2-in solution?
