Problem Solving
Ca(OH)2(aq)+2HBr(aq)⟶CaBr2(aq)+2H2O(l)
2.Titration of a 20.0-mL sample of acid rain required 1.7 mL of 0.0811 M NaOH to reach the end
point. If we assume that the acidity of the rain is due to the presence of sulfuric acid, what was
the concentration of sulfuric acid in this sample of rain?
3.What is the concentration of NaCl in a solution if titration of 15.00 mL of the solution with
0.2503 M AgNO3 requires 20.22 mL of the AgNO3 solution to reach the end point?
AgNO3(aq)+NaCl(aq)⟶AgCl(s)+NaNO3(aq)
4.In a common medical laboratory determination of the concentration of free chloride ion in blood
serum, a serum sample is titrated with a Hg(NO 3)2 solution.
2Cl−(aq)+Hg(NO3)2(aq)⟶2NO3−(aq)+HgCl2(s)
What is the Cl− concentration in a 0.25-mL sample of normal serum that requires 1.46 mL of 8.25
× 10−4M Hg(NO3)2(aq) to reach the end point?
5.Potatoes can be peeled commercially by soaking them in a 3-M to 6-M solution of sodium
hydroxide, then removing the loosened skins by spraying them with water. Does a sodium
hydroxide solution have a suitable concentration if titration of 12.00 mL of the solution requires
30.6 mL of 1.65 M HCl to reach the end point?
6.A sample of gallium bromide, GaBr 2, weighing 0.165 g was dissolved in water and treated with
silver nitrate, AgNO3, resulting in the precipitation of 0.299 g AgBr. Use these data to compute
the %Ga (by mass) GaBr2.
7.The principal component of mothballs is naphthalene, a compound with a molecular mass of about
130 amu, containing only carbon and hydrogen. A 3.000-mg sample of naphthalene burns to give
10.3 mg of CO2. Determine its empirical and molecular formulas.
8.A 0.025-g sample of a compound composed of boron and hydrogen, with a molecular mass of ~28
amu, burns spontaneously when exposed to air, producing 0.063 g of B 2O3. What are the
empirical and molecular formulas of the compound?
9.Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), NaHCO3, can be purified by dissolving it in hot water (60 °C),
filtering to remove insoluble impurities, cooling to 0 °C to precipitate solid NaHCO 3, and then
filtering to remove the solid, leaving soluble impurities in solution. Any NaHCO 3 that remains in
solution is not recovered. The solubility of NaHCO 3 in hot water of 60 °C is 164 g/L. Its solubility
in cold water of 0 °C is 69 g/L. What is the percent yield of NaHCO 3 when it is purified by this
method?
10. What volume of 0.600 M HCl is required to react completely with 2.50 g of sodium hydrogen
carbonate?
NaHCO3(aq)+HCl(aq)⟶NaCl(aq)+CO2(g)+H2O(l)
