During the titration of a diluted vinegar sample with a sodium hydroxide solution, the volume of sodium hydroxide used was less

than expected. Which of the following could account for the lower than expected volume?
A. The sodium hydroxide solution had been allowed to stand exposed to the air for a long time prior to the titration.
B. The volumetric flask used to prepare the diluted vinegar solution was rinsed with water prior to use.
C. The burette used to deliver the sodium hydroxide solution was rinsed with water prior to use.
D. The pipette used to deliver the vinegar solution was rinsed with water prior to use.

Answer:

B and D could be true

Explanation:

A volume of sodium hydroxide less than expected could occurs for two reasons:

The real concentration of sodium hydroxide was higher than expected or the amount of vinegar added was less than expected:

A. The sodium hydroxide solution had been allowed to stand exposed to the air for a long time prior to the titration.  FALSE. A long expose  to the air decreases concentration of the NaOH.

B. The volumetric flask used to prepare the diluted vinegar solution was rinsed with water prior to use.  TRUE. You add a less amount of vinegar doing you require less amount of NaOH than expected.

C. The burette used to deliver the sodium hydroxide solution was rinsed with water prior to use.  FALSE. Thus, you add a less amount of NaOH than expected. To explain the matter, you add more NaOH than expected.

D. The pipette used to deliver the vinegar solution was rinsed with water prior to use. TRUE. Again, you are adding a less amount of Vinegar than expected doing the necessary NaOH during titration less than expected

Sample A: 300 mL of 1M sodium chloride
yarga [219]

Answer:

sample B contains the larger density

Explanation:

Given;

volume of sample A, V = 300 mL = 0.3 L

Molarity of sample A, C = 1 M

volume of sample B, V = 145 mL = 0.145 L

Molarity of sample B, C = 1.5 M

molecular mass of sodium chloride, Nacl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol

Molarity is given as;

C = \frac{moles \ of \ solute, \ mol}{liters \ of \ solvent} \\\\Moles \ of \ solute \ for \ sample \ A = 1 \times 0.3 = 0.3 \ mol\\\\Moles \ of \ solute \ for \ sample \ B = 1.5 \times 0.145 = 0.2175 \ mol

The reacting mass for sample A = 0.3mol x  58.5 g/mol = 17.55 g

The reacting mass for sample B = 0.2175 mol x 58.5 g/mol = 12.72 g

The density of sample A  = \frac{mass}{volume} = \frac{17.55}{0.3} = 58.5 \ g/L

The density of sample B = \frac{mass}{volume} = \frac{12.72}{0.145} = 87.72 \ g/L

Therefore, sample B contains the larger density

What type of bond will form between two chlorine atoms?
Trava [24]
Since both atoms are the same and are both nonmetals, they would form a Nonpolar covalent bond. This bond occurs when usually atoms of the same element or atoms of propriety electronegativity differences are sharing electrons to form bonds. There is an equal sharing of valence electrons in this chemical bond.
