The procedure for testing your unknown solution in this week's lab is identical to the procedure which you conducted in Week 1.

The only difference is, of course, your Unknown Solution may or may not contain all of the ions which you tested for in Week 1. With that being said, please consider the following scenario: You enter the lab and obtain an Unknown Solution from the Stockroom. You begin testing the solution through the steps outlined in the flowchart on p. 9 of the Exp 22 document. You first add HCl, and centrifuge your mixture. You observe the formation of a white precipitate in the bottom of the test tube. After pouring off the supernatant liquid, you add hot water to the white precipitate. Upon addition of the hot water, you still have some white precipitate in the bottom of the test tube. You add ammonia, NH3, to the test tube and observe the formation of a gray-black precipitate. Which of the following is the best conclusion to draw at this point
A. The unknown solution definitely has Ag+ present.
B. The unknown solution could have Agt present, or Hg22+ present, or BOTH.
C. The unknown solution definitely has Hg22+ present.
D.The Unknown Solution definitely has Pb2+ present.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C. The unknown solution definitely has Hg22+ present.

Explanation:

In the analysis of group 1 metal cation, the unknown solution is treated with sufficient quantity of 6 M HCl solution and if group 1 metal cations are present then white precipitate of Agcl, PbCl2 or Hg2Cl2 is formed. The precipitate of PbCl2 is soluble in hot water but the other two remains insoluble after treating with hot water. Precipitate of AgCl disappears upon treatment of NH3 solution but Hg2Cl2 becomes black in the reaction with NH3. The black Colour appears due to the formation of metallic Hg.

Balanced chemical equation of the reation is -

Hg2Cl2 + 2NH3  ---------> HgNH2Cl (white ppt.) + Hg (black ppt.) + NH4Cl

Therefore, from the given information the conclusion which can be drawn is that the unknown solution definitely has Hg22+ present.

What is the name of the alkane having five carbons?
Tatiana [17]

Explanation:

Alkanes are the simple hydrocarbons that have only carbon and hydrogen atoms attached to each other through single bonds.

General chemical formula of an alkane is C_{n}H_{2n+2}, where n is any integer.

For example, if n = 5 then formula of the alkane will be as follows.

                                C_{n}H_{2n+2}

                             = C_{5}H_{2(5)+2}

                             = C_{5}H_{12}

A suffix "-ane" is added in the name of an alkane. So, an alkane with five carbon atoms will be known as pentane.
