Why do soluble salts have to be made by titration, using an indicator?

1 answer:

7 0

This technique can be used to make pure crystals of a soluble salt.
The burette is filled with hydrochloric acid.
A known quantity of alkali (say 50 cm3 sodium hydroxide)
is released from a pipette into the conical flask.
The tap on the burette is turned open to allow
the acid to be added drop by drop into the alkali.
The alkali contains an indicator (phenolphthalein)
which is pink in an alkali and colorless in an acid.

When enough acid has been added to neutralize
the alkali, the indicator changes from
pink to colorless. This is the end point of the titration.

The titration can be repeated using the same amounts
of acid and alkali but without the indicator.
Pure salt crystals which are free from indicator
can then be crystallized from the neutral solution.

How many grams of Ca(OH)2are required to make 1.5 L of a 0.81 M solution?

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Mass = 90.28 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of Ca(OH)₂ = ?

Volume of solution= 1.5 L

Molarity of solution = 0.81 M

Solution:

First of all we will calculate number of moles.

Molarity = number of moles / volume in L

by putting values,

0.81 M = Number of moles / 1.5 L

Number of moles = 0.81 M × 1.5 L

Number of moles = 1.22 mol

Mass of Ca(OH)₂ in gram:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 1.22 mol × 74.09 g/mol

Mass = 90.28 g

In an ion with an unknown charge, the total mass of all the electrons was determined to be 2.19 ✕ 10−26 g, while the total mass

Ilya [14]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{Fe$^{{2+}}$}}$

Explanation:

1. Number of electrons

$\text{Number of electrons} = 2.19 \times 10^{-26}\text{ g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 electron}}{9.109 \times 10^{-28}\text{ g}} = \text{24 electrons}$

2. Number of protons

$\text{Number of protons} = 4.34 \times 10^{-23}\text{ g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 proton}}{1.673 \times 10^{-24}\text{ g}} = \text{26 protons}$

3. Identify the ion

An atom with 26 protons is iron, Fe.

A neutral atom of iron would have 26 electrons.

The ion has only 24 electrons, so it has lost two. The ion must have a charge of +2.

$\text{The symbol for the ion is $\large \boxed{\textbf{Fe$^{\mathbf{2+}}$}}$}$
