Question

so the amount of acid in the solution is 33.7 mink Because this is equivalent to the 230 grains of unknown acid we started with, we write 2.50 g acid 33.7 mmol acid = 3.37 x 10^-2 mol acid Dividing by 3.37 x 10^-2 gives 74.2 g acid 1.00 mol acid Thus, the formula mass of the unknown acid is 74.2. PRACTICE PROBLEM 12-10: A 2.50-gram sample of malonic acid is dissolved to make 100 mL of solution. The solution is neutralized with 28.5 ml of 1.684 M KOH(aq). Given that the formula mass of malonic acid is 104.1, determine how many acidic protons it has per formula unit. Answer: two The following Example and Practice Problem incorporate many of the concepts that we have learned so far. EXAMPLE 12-11: Calculate the concentrations of all the ions in solution following the reaction of 25.0 ml of 0.200 M CaCl2(aq) with 25.0 ml of 0:300 M AgNO3(aq). Solution: Applying the solubility rules (Table 10.9), we find that the reaction produces an insoluble silver chloride. AgCI(s), precipitate. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is

Explanation / Answer

1. suppose there are n acidic protons.

then the solution is n*2.50*1000/(104.1*100) normal = 0.240*n N

so, (0.240*n)*100 = (1.684)*28.5 ..... (N1V1 = N2V2)

so, n = 1.99 ~ 2

2. Before Reaction

mols of CaCl2 = 0.2*25 mMols = 5 mMols i.e. Ca2+ = 5 mMol, Cl- = 10 mMol

mols of AgNO3 = 0.3*25 mMols = 7.5 mMols i.e. Ag+ = 7.5 mMol = NO3-

after reaction

AgCl will precipitate. Here, limiting reagent is AgNO3.

So, 7.5 mMol AgCl precipitates.

Remaining ions: Ca2+ = 0.005 mol, Cl- = (10-7.5)*10^-3 mol = 0.0025 mol, NO3- = 0.0075 mol
