You want to determine the protein content in milk with the Kjeldahl method. You take 100 g whole milk and use 100 mL of 0.5 M hy

drochloric acid to collect ammonia. You needed 34.50 mL of 0.3512 M NaOH for the back-titration. Calculate the percentage of protein in the sample?

Answer:

82.53 % protein in the milk.

Explanation:

<em>Titration formula:</em>

Conc (acid) × Vol (acid) = Conc (base) × Vol (base)

<u>Beginning from back-titration:</u>

0.5 M HCl × Vol  (HCl) = 0.3512 (conc of NaOH) × 34.50 mL (vol of NaOH)

=  \frac{12.1164}{0.5} = 24.2328 mL

⇒ <em>Vol of HCl used in initial titration is 24.2328 mL</em>

So from Initial Titration:

Using same titration formula,

0.5 × 24.2328 = Conc. (base) × 100 ml

Conc (base) = 12.1164 ÷ 100

= 0.121164 M.

But concentration = mass ÷ molar mass

0.121164 = \frac{100 g}{ molar  mass}

= 825.3277 g/mol of protein

⇒ \frac{825.32765}{1000} × 100

= <u>82.53 % protein in the milk.</u>

Which statement is true about the ionic size of the elements in a group as one moves from top to bottom in that group?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

Ionic size increases from top to bottom within the group.

Explanation:

  • Ions are formed when neutral atoms of elements gain or lose electron(s).
  • The ionic radius is the distance from the nucleus of an ion to the outermost energy level.
  • The ionic size or radius increases down the group as the number of energy level increases.
  • Therefore, an ion of an element lower in the group will be larger than the ion of an element higher in the group.
  • For example, an ion of potassium, K+, is larger in size compared to the ion of sodium, Na+ since K+ has more energy levels than Na+.

Identify the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the following reactions: (i) 8NH3( g) + 6NO2( g) =&gt; 7N2( g) + 12H2O( l
shusha [124]

Answer:

(i)  Oxidizing Agent: NO2 / Reducing Agent NH3-

(ii) Oxidizing Agent AgNO3 / Reducing Agent Zn

Explanation:

(i) 8NH3( g) + 6NO2( g) => 7N2( g) + 12H2O( l)

In this reaction, both two reactants contain nitrogen with a different oxidation number and produce only one product which contains nitrogen with a unique oxidation state. So, nitrogen is oxidized and reduced in the same reaction.

Nitrogen Undergoes a change in oxidation state from 4+ in NO2 to 0 in N2. It is reduced because it gains electrons (decrease its oxidation state). NO2 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor).

Nitrogen Changes from an oxidation state of 3- in NH3 to 0 in N2. It is oxidized because it loses electrons (increase its oxidation state). NH3 is the reducing agent (electron donor)

(ii) Zn(s) +AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + Ag(s)

Ag changes oxidation state from 1+ to 0 in Ag(s).

Ag is reduced because it gains electrons and for this reason and AgNO3 is the oxidizing agent (electron acceptor)

Zn Changes from an oxidation state of 0 in Zn(s) to 2+ in Zn(NO3)2. It is oxidized and for this reason Zn is the reducing agent (electron donor).

Balanced equation:

Zn(s) +2AgNO3(aq) => Zn(NO3)2(aq) + 2Ag(s)

What occurs to the atoms of reactants in a chemical reaction?
djyliett [7]

Question:

What occurs to the atoms of reactants in a chemical reaction?

Answer:

In a chemical reaction, the atoms and molecules that interact with each other are called reactants. ... No new atoms are created, and no atoms are destroyed. In a chemical reaction, reactants contact each other, bonds between atoms in the reactants are broken, and atoms rearrange and form new bonds to make the products.
