What is back titration?​

Chemistry

Answer:

Back titration is a titration done in reverse; instead of titrating the original sample, a known excess of standard reagent is added to the solution, and the excess is titrated.

I hope it's helpful!

Consider the following unbalanced chemical equation. C5H12(l) + O2(g) → CO2(g) + H2O(l) If 21.9 grams of pentane (C5H12) are bur
Marina CMI [18]

Answer : The mass of water produced will be 32.78 grams.

Explanation : Given,

Mass of C_5H_{12} = 21.9 g

Molar mass of C_5H_{12} = 72.15 g/mole

Molar mass of H_2O = 18 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of C_5H_{12}.

\text{Moles of }C_5H_{12}=\frac{\text{Mass of }C_5H_{12}}{\text{Molar mass of }C_5H_{12}}=\frac{21.9g}{72.15g/mole}=0.3035moles

Now we have to calculate the moles of H_2O.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

C_5H_{12}(l)+8O_2(g)\rightarrow 5CO_2(g)+6H_2O(l)

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 1 mole of C_5H_{12} react to give 6 moles of H_2O

So, 0.3035 moles of C_5H_{12} react to give 0.3035\times 6=1.821 moles of H_2O

Now we have to calculate the mass of H_2O.

\text{Mass of }H_2O=\text{Moles of }H_2O\times \text{Molar mass of }H_2O

\text{Mass of }H_2O=(1.821mole)\times (18g/mole)=32.78g

Therefore, the mass of water produced will be 32.78 grams.

Sodium thiosulfate, Na 2S 2O 3, is used as a "fixer" in black and white photography. Identify the reducing agent in the reaction
Tatiana [17]

Answer: Reducing agent in the given reaction is S_{2}O^{2-}_{3}.

Explanation:

A reducing agent is defined as an element which tends to lose electrons to other element leading to an increase in its oxidation number.

In the given reaction, oxidation state of sulfur in S_{2}O^{2-}_{3} is +2 and I_{2}(aq) has 0 oxidation state.

In S_{4}O^{2-}_{6}(aq) oxidation state of S is 2.5 and in 2I^{-}(aq) oxidation state of I is -1.

Since, an increase in oxidation state of S is occurring from +2 to +2.5. Hence, it is acting as a reducing agent.

Thus, we can conclude that reducing agent in the given reaction is S_{2}O^{2-}_{3}.

What is the metal cation in K,SO,? (cation is pronounced cat-ion and refers to a positively charged ion)
slamgirl [31]

Answer:

Potassium cation = K⁺²

Explanation:

The metal cation in K₂SO₄ is K⁺². While the anion is SO₄²⁻.

All the metals have tendency to lose the electrons and form cation. In given compound the metal is potassium so it should form the cation. The overall compound is neutral.

The charge on sulfate is -2. While the oxidation state of potassium is +1. So in order to make compound overall neutral there should be two potassium cation so that potassium becomes +2 and cancel the -2 charge on sulfate and make the charge on compound zero.

2K⁺²  ,  SO₄²⁻

K₂SO₄
