A mysterious white powder is found at a crime scene. A simple chemical analysis concludes that the powder is a mixture of sugar

and morphine (C17H19NO3), a weak base similar to ammonia. The crime lab takes 10.00 mg of the mysterious white powder, dissolves it in 100.00 mL water, and titrates it to the equivalence point with 2.84 mL of a standard 0.0100 M HCl solution. What is the percentage of morphine in the white powder?
a. 8.10%
b. 17.3%
c. 32.6%
d. 49.7%
e. 81.0%

Answer:

e. 81.0%

Explanation:

Morphine has Molar mass = 285.34 g/mol

Also, number of males of Morphine = Number of moles of HCl

(At equivalence point )

Now, number of moles of HCl = Molarity × volume

=0.01 mol × 2.84×10^(-3) L

= 2.84×10^(-5) mol

therefore number of moles of morphine= 2.85×10^(-5)

Mass of Morphine= No. of moles × molar mass

= 2.84×10^(-5)×285.34 g/mol

= 0.0081 g

= 8.1 mg

therefore

percentage of morphine = mass of morphine/ mass of powder×100%

= 8.1/10×100% = 81.0%

hence option e is correct.

How many atoms of of titanium are present in a sample containing 0.375 moles Ti
Natasha2012 [34]

2.258302785 x 10^{23} atoms of titanium are present in a sample containing 0.375 moles of Ti.

<h3>What are moles?</h3>

A mole is defined as 6.02214076 × 10^{23} of some chemical unit, be it atoms, molecules, ions, or others. The mole is a convenient unit to use because of the great number of atoms, molecules, or others in any substance.

To find the number atoms we need to multiply by 6.02214076 × 10^{23}.

0.375 moles x  6.02214076 × 10^{23}

2.258302785 x 10^{23}

Hence, 2.258302785 x 10^{23} atoms of titanium are present in a sample containing 0.375 moles of Ti.

A balloon filled with helium gas has a volume of 500 mL at a pressure of 1 atm. The balloon is released and reaches an altitude
Rasek [7]
We are using the General gas equation P x V/K = P x V/K
1. P = 1atm V=500ml so PxV= 500 at 6.5km P = 0.5atm V = ? so P xV = 0.5 x V
(We don't have to worry about temperature!) 500 = 0.5 x V so V = 1000ml

2. NO CHANGE in pressure here so we have V/K V=2.75 K = 20 + 273=293 so V/K= 2.75/293
Next set V = 2.46 K = ? so V/K = 2.46/K then 2.75/293= 2.46/K so K=(293/2.75)x2.46
=262 K
Convert back to Celsius 262 - 273 = -11 C
It's raining so I have to rescue the laundry!
Laundry rescued!

3.Now we have to use all three variables. I am using 273K and 100kPa for STP.
P = 100 V = 700 K = 273 These are altered P - unknown, V = 200 K = 273+30=303
!00 x 700/273 = 256.4 this is equal to P x 200/303 = P x 0.66
so P = 256.4/0.66 = 388.48kPa
