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 copper(II) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: CuCl2 (aq) + 2AgNO3 (aq) → 2AgCl (s) + CuNO32 (aq) The chemist adds 26.0m M silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 6.1mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of copper(II) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

The balanced chemical reaction is expressed as follows:

<span>CuCl2 (aq) + 2AgNO3 (aq) → 2AgCl (s) + CuNO32 (aq)

To determine the </span><span>concentration of copper(II) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample, we use the final amount of silver chloride that was produced from the reaction and the relation of the substances from the chemical reaction. We calculate as follows:

mmol AgCl = 6.1 mg AgCl ( 1 mmol / 143.35 mg ) = 0.0426 mmol
mmol CuCl2 = </span>0.0426 mmol AgCl ( 1 mmol CuCl2 / 2 mmol AgCl ) = 0.0213 mmol CuCl2
concentration of CuCl2 in the original water sample = 0.0213 mmol CuCl2 / 200.0 mL = 1.0638 x 10^-4 mmol / mL or 1.0638 x 10^-4 mol/L

A reaction of 41.9 g of Na and 30.3 g of Br2 yields 36.4 g of NaBr . What is the percent yield?
Licemer1 [7]

Answer: The percent yield is, 93.4%

Explanation:

First we have to calculate the moles of Na.

\text{Moles of Na}=\frac{\text{Mass of Na}}{\text{Molar mass of Na}}=\frac{41.9g}{23g/mole}=1.82moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of Br_2

{\text{Moles of}Br_2} = \frac{\text{Mass of }Br_2 }{\text{Molar mass of} Br_2} =\frac{30.3g}{160g/mole}=0.189moles

{\text{Moles of } NaBr} = \frac{\text{Mass of } NaBr }{\text{Molar mass of } NaBr} =\frac{36.4g}{103g/mole}=0.353moles

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2Na(s)+Br_2(g)\rightarrow 2NaBr

As, 1 mole of bromine react with = 2 moles of Sodium

So, 0.189 moles of bromine react with = \frac{2}{1}\times 0.189=0.378 moles of Sodium

Thus bromine is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and Na is the excess reagent.

As, 1 mole of bromine give = 2 moles of Sodium bromide

So, 0.189 moles of bromine give = \frac{2}{1}\times 0.189=0.378 moles of Sodium bromide

Now we have to calculate the percent yield of reaction

\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100=\frac{0.353 mol}{0.378}\times 100=93.4\%

Therefore, the percent yield is, 93.4%

1.72 moles of NOCI were placed in a 2.50 L reaction chamber
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

The equilibrium constant, Kc=0.026

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

1.72 moles of NOCI

1.16 moles of NOCI  remained

2.50 L reaction chamber

Reaction

2NOCI(g) = 2NO(g) + Cl2(g).

Required

the equilibrium constant, Kc

Solution

ICE method

   2NOCI(g) = 2NO(g) + Cl2(g).

I    1.72

C   0.56           0.56         0.28

E   1.16              0.56         0.28

Molarity at equilibrium :

NOCl :

\tt \dfrac{1.16}{2.5}=0.464

NO :

\tt \dfrac{0.56}{2.5}=0.224

Cl2 :

\tt \dfrac{0.28}{2.5}=0.112

\tt Kc=\dfrac{[NO]^2[Cl_2]}{[NOCl]^2}\\\\Kc=\dfrac{0.224^2\times 0.112}{0.464^2}=0.026
