One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silv

er nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 200.mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with iron(III) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: FeCl3(aq) + 3AgNO3(aq) → 3AgCl(s) + FeNO33(aq) The chemist adds 57.0mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 3.5mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of iron(III) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.

Answer:

4.1 × 10⁻⁵ M

Explanation:

Let's consider the following balanced equation.

FeCl₃(aq) + 3 AgNO₃(aq) → 3 AgCl(s) + Fe(NO₃)₃(aq)

We can establish the following relations:

  • The molar mass of AgCl is 143.32 g/mol.
  • The molar ratio of AgCl to FeCl₃ is 3:1.

When 3.5 mg of AgCl are collected, the moles of of FeCl₃ that reacted are:

3.5 \times 10^{-3} gAgCl.\frac{1molAgCl}{143.32gAgCl} .\frac{1molFeCl_{3}}{3molAgCl} =8.1 \times 10^{-6} molFeCl_{3}

The sample has a volume of 200 mL (0.200 L). The molar concentration of FeCl₃ is:

\frac{8.1 \times 10^{-6} molFeCl_{3}}{0.200L} =4.1 \times 10^{-5}M

What will occur when potassium reacts with sulfur?
sveticcg [70]
The electrons are transferred from potassium to sulphur, in this reaction, potassium is being oxidised and sulphur is being reduced. Two potassium atoms each lose one electron forming K+ ions. Sulphur gains two electrons forming S2-/2- ions. The resultant formula will be: K2S, bonding in this compound is ionic.

Carbonated drinks in cans have a small amount of space above the liquid level inside the can known as the "headspace." What woul
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Carbonated drinks in cans have a headspace to avoid explosion

Explanation:

  • When we see in carbonated drinks in cans we can see there is a small amount of space above the liquid level known as the headspace. This space is not a wasted space. The gas filled in the can is compressed highly which when opened comes out with a high pressure with an explosion.
  • Therefore, to avoid the carbonated drinks not to explode when shaken the carbonated drinks and the bottled juices have headspace. This means the headspace is not wasted.
