When 20.00 mL of an unknown monoprotic acid is titrated with 0.125 M NaOH, it takes 15.00 mL to reach the endpoint. What is the

molarity of the unknown acid?

Answer:

About 0.0940 M.

Explanation:

Recall that NaOH is a strong base, so it dissociates completely into Na⁺ and OH⁻ ions. Because the acid is monoprotic, we can represent it with HA. Thus, the reaction between HA and NaOH is:


\displaystyle \text{HA}_\text{(aq)} + \text{OH}^-_\text{(aq)} \longrightarrow \text{H$_2$O}_\text{($\ell$)} + \text{A}^-_\text{(aq)}

Using the fact that it took 15.00 mL of NaOH to reach the endpoint, determine the number of HA that was reacted with:

\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 15.00\text{ mL} &\cdot \frac{0.125\text{ mol NaOH}}{1\text{ L}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ L}}{1000\text{ mL}} \\ \\  &\cdot \frac{1\text{ mol OH}^-}{1\text{ mol NaOH}} \cdot \frac{1\text{ mol HA}}{1\text{ mol OH}^-}\\ \\  & = 0.00188\text{ mol HA}\end{aligned}

Therefore, the molarity of the original solution was:


\displaystyle \left[ \text{HA}\right] = \frac{0.00188\text{ mol}}{20.00\text{ mL}} \cdot \frac{1000\text{ mL}}{1\text{ L}} = 0.0940\text{ M}

In conclusion, the molarity of the unknown acid is about 0.0940 M.

What are two things that you observed when you heated the mixture of tin and nitric acid over the Bunsen burner in the virtual l
Rus_ich [418]
1. The reaction for this would be:

Sn + 4 HNO₃ →  SnO₂ + 4 NO₂ + 2 H₂O

The first observation would be bubbling of the solution and brown acrid smoke is produced due to the presence of NO₂ gas. Another observation would be the presence of a white solid which is SnO₂.

2. Heating was required to get rid of the H₂O. When all moisture is gone, you weigh the sample. Afterwhich, you further heat it to get ride of the oxygen. By doing this, you would know the individual mass of each element. Then, you can solve for the empirical formula of the oxide of tin.

Find the mass of 0.235 moles of SiO2? (NOTE: use correct significant figures!)
marta [7]

Answer: 14.1g

Explanation:

Given that,

number of moles of SiO2 = 0.235 moles

Mass in grams = Z (let unknown value be Z)

Molar mass of SiO2 = ?

To get the molar mass of SiO2, use the atomic mass

Silicon = 28g;

Oxygen = 16g

i.e Molar mass of SiO2 = 28g + (16g x 2)

= 28g + 32g

= 60g/mol

Now, apply the formula

Number of moles = Mass / molar mass

0.235 moles = Z / 60g/mol

Z = 0.235 moles x 60g/mol

Z = 14.1 g

Thus, the mass of SiO2 is 14.1 grams.

Why is it important to use low flame when evaporating water from a recovered filtrate?
goldfiish [28.3K]

It is important to use low flame when evaporating water from a recovered filtrate because then the water and filtrate will not spatter and the filtrate can also be recovered after evaporating water.

If flame is not low then water as well as got spatter so it is important to use low flame so that   the water and filtrate will not spatter.
