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

Fill in the coefficients that will balance the following reaction:
Burka [1]

Answer:

a0 = 2

a1= 9

a2= 6

a3= 8

Explanation:

The equation for the reaction is;

C3H7OH + O2 → CO2 + H2O

To balance the chemical equation we introduce coefficients;

Therefore the balanced chemical equation will be;

2C3H7OH + 9O2 → 6CO2 + 8H2O

Chemical equations are balanced to ensure the law of conservation of mass is obeyed, such that the mass of the reactants is equivalent to that of the products.

Why aren't descriptive investigations repeatable?
Bad White [126]
In descriptive investigations, we still haven't formed any hypothesis yet so we seek information by asking question.

It's not repeatable because repeating the questions over and over again without any clue about what we want to seek is completely waste of time.

Hope this helps xox :)

Using the model of the Periodic Table, which two elements pictured have similar chemical properties?
liberstina [14]

Answer:

C) 1 and 3

Explanation:

A period in the periodic table is a row of chemical elements. All elements in a row have the same number of electron shells. ... Arranged this way, groups of elements in the same column have similar chemical and physical properties, reflecting the periodic law.
