Chapter 4, Problem 136
A procedure for determining the amount of iron in a sample is to convert the iron to Fe2+ and then titrate it with a solu-tion of Ce(NH4)2(NO3)6: What is the mass percent of iron in a sample if 1.2284 g of the sample requires 54.91 mL of 0.1018 M Ce(NH4)2(NO3)6 for complete reaction?

A compound with the formula XOCl2 reacts with water, yielding HCl and another acid H2XO3, which has two acidic hydrogens that react with NaOH. When 0.350 g of XOCl2 was added to 50.0 mL of water and the resultant solution was titrated, 96.1 mL of 0.1225 M NaOH was required to react with all the acid. (a) Write a balanced equation for the reaction of XOCl2 with H2O.

(b) What are the atomic mass and identity of element X?
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?
