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 250 mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with copper(II) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: CuCl2(aq)+ 2AgNO3(aq)= 2AgCl(s)+ Cu(NO3)2(aq).The chemist adds 81.0 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. He finds he has collected 7.7 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of copper(II) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Round your answer to 2 significant digits

Answer:

1.1 × 10⁻⁴ M

Explanation:

Let's consider the following double displacement reaction.

CuCl₂(aq) + 2 AgNO₃(aq) → 2 AgCl(s)+ Cu(NO₃)₂(aq)

We can establish the following relations:

  • The molar mass of AgCl is 143.32 g/mol.
  • The molar ratio of AgCl to CuCl₂ is 2:1

The moles of CuCl₂ that reacted to produce 7.7 mg of AgCl are:

7.7 \times 10^{-3} gAgCl.\frac{1molAgCl}{143.32gAgCl} .\frac{1molCuCl_{2}}{2molAgCl} =2.7 \times 10^{-5}molCuCl_{2}

The molarity of CuCl₂ is:

M=\frac{2.7 \times 10^{-5}molCuCl_{2}}{0.250L} =1.1\times 10^{-4} M

If you have 6.25g of O2, how many moles of H2O are produced?
denis23 [38]

Answer:

0.4 moles of water produced by 6.25 g of oxygen.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of oxygen = 6.25 g

Moles of water produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation;

2H₂ + O₂  → 2H₂O

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 6.35 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.2 mol

Now we will compare the moles of oxygen with water:

                    O₂          :          H₂O

                     1            :            2

                   0.2          :        2×0.2 = 0.4 mol

0.4 moles of water produced by 6.25 g of oxygen.

Write the balanced equation for a reaction between aqueous nitric acid (HNO3) and solid lithium metal (this is a single replacem
Lemur [1.5K]

<u>Answer:</u> The equation is given below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Single replacement reactions are the chemical reactions in which more reactive metal displaces a less reactive metal from its chemical reaction. General equation for these reactions is given by the equation:

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

Metal A is more reactive than metal B.

The reactivity of metals is judged with the help of reactivity series. In this series, the metals lying above are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

For the reaction of solid lithium metal and nitric acid, the equation follows:

3Li(s)+4HNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow 3LiNO_3(aq.)+2H_2O(l)+NO(g)

This is a type of single replacement reaction because Lithium (more reactive metal) is replacing Hydrogen (less reactive metal) from the chemical reaction.
