The pipet used for transferring the pickle juice to the flask was dirty and consequentially some of the pickle juice stuck to th

e inside of the pipet and was not analyzed. Would the determined percentage of acetic acid in the food sample be higher or lower due to this error? Explain your answer.

Explanation:

Since, some of the given sample is stuck inside and behind the pipet. Hence, there will occur a decrease in the percent of acetic acid.

This is because a decrease in concentration of the acid will also lead to a decrease in the amount of sample taken for the estimation. Since. lesser is the amount or concentration present lesser will be its analyte concentration.

For example, we took 10 mg of a pickel sample but 3 mg of the sample remain stuck in the pipet. This means we actually titrating a  sample less than 10 mg.

Therefore, the analyte concentration in the pickel will also be less.

insens350 [35]
Answer is: concentration ammonia is higher than concentration of ammonium ion.
Chemical reaction of ammonia in water: NH₃ + H₂O → NH₄⁺ + OH⁻.
Kb(NH₃) = 1,8·10⁻⁵.
c₀(NH₃) = 0,8 mol/L.
c(NH₄⁺) = c(OH⁻) = x.
c(NH₃) = 0,8 mol/L - x.
Kb = c(NH₄⁺) · c(OH⁻) / c(NH₃).
0,000018 = x² /  0,8 mol/L - x.
solve quadratic equation: x = c(NH₄⁺) = 3,79·10⁻³ mol/L.

What is the concentration, in m/v percent, of a solution prepared from 50 g NaCl and 2.5 L of solution?
Serjik [45]
When we convert the given mass in grams and volume in liters to m/v percent, we recall that m/v percent is expressed as grams/100 milliliters. In this case the expression becomes (50 grams/ 2500 L)*(0.1L/100ml), that is equal to 0.002 grams/ 100 mL. Hence the the concentration is equal to 0.2 m/v percent.
