Ch.4 - Reactions in Aqueous Solution
Chapter 4, Problem 145
A mixture of acetic acid (CH3CO2H; monoprotic) and oxalic acid (H2C2O4; diprotic) requires 27.15 mL of 0.100 M NaOH to neutralize it. When an identical amount of the mixture is titrated, 15.05 mL of 0.0247 M KMnO4 is needed for complete reaction. What is the mass percent of each acid in the mixture? (Acetic acid does not react with MnO4 equation for the reaction of oxalic acid with MnO4 given in Problem 4.133.)

Textbook Question
A 100.0 mL solution containing aqueous HCl and HBr was titrated with 0.1235 M NaOH. The volume of base required to neutralize the acid was 47.14 mL. Aqueous AgNO3 was then added to precipitate the Cl-and Br-ions as AgCl and AgBr. The mass of the silver halides obtained was 0.9974 g. What are the molarities of the HCl and HBr in the original solution?

Textbook Question
A sample of metal (M) reacted with both steam and aqueous HCl to release H2 but did not react with water at room tem-perature. When 1.000 g of the metal was burned in oxygen, it formed 1.890 g of a metal oxide, M2O3. What is the iden-tity of the metal?

Textbook Question
An unknown metal (M) was found not to react with either water or steam, but its reactivity with aqueous acid was not investigated. When a 1.000 g sample of the metal was burned in oxygen and the resulting metal oxide converted to a metal sulfide, 1.504 g of sulfide was obtained. What is the identity of the metal?

Textbook Question
Iron content in ores can be determined by a redox procedure in which the sample is first reduced with Sn2+, as in Problem 4.130, and then titrated with KMnO4 to oxidize the Fe2+ to Fe3+. The balanced equation is
What is the mass percent Fe in a 2.368 g sample if 48.39 mL of a 0.1116 M KMnO4 solution is needed to titrate the Fe3 + ?

Textbook Question
A mixture of FeCl2 and NaCl is dissolved in water, and addi-tion of aqueous silver nitrate then yields 7.0149 g of a pre-cipitate. When an identical amount of the mixture is titrated with MnO4 -, 14.28 mL of 0.198 M KMnO4 is needed for complete reaction. What are the mass percents of the two compounds in the mixture? (Na+ and Cl-do not react with MnO4 -. The equation for the reaction of Fe2+ with MnO4 was given in Problem 4.146.)

Textbook Question
Salicylic acid, used in the manufacture of aspirin, contains only the elements C, H, and O and has only one acidic hydrogen that reacts with NaOH. When 1.00 g of salicylic acid undergoes complete combustion, 2.23 g CO2 and 0.39 g H2O are obtained. When 1.00 g of salicylic acid is titrated with 0.100 M NaOH, 72.4 mL of base is needed for complete reaction. What are the empirical and molecular formulas of salicylic acid?
