Calculate the atomic mass of silicon.
b- When solutions of silver nitrate and calcium chloride aremixed, silver chloride precipitates out of solution according tothe equation
2\; \rm AgNO_3 \it (aq) \rm \;+\;CaCl_2 \it (aq) \rm \; \rightarrow \; 2\;AgCl \it (s) \rm\; + \; Ca(NO_3)_2 \it (aq)
What mass of silver chloride can be producedfrom 1.18 L of a 0.113 \it M solution of silver nitrate?
The reaction described required3.28 L of calcium chloride. What is the concentration of thiscalcium chloride solution?
c- A volume of 50.0 mL of aqueous potassium hydroxide (\rm KOH) was titrated against a standard solution of sulfuricacid (\rm H_2SO_4). What was the molarity of the \rm KOH solution if 23.7 mL of 1.50 M\rm H_2SO_4 was needed? The equation is
\rm 2KOH(\it aq\rm )+H_2SO_4(\it aq\rm )\rightarrow\rm K_2SO_4(\it aq\rm )+2H_2O(\it l\rm )
Then, Redox titrations are used to determine the amounts ofoxidizing and reducing agents in solution. For example, a solutionof hydrogen peroxide, \rm H_2O_2, can be titrated against a solution of potassiumpermanganate, \rm KMnO_4. The following equation represents the reaction:
\matrix{{\rm 2KMnO}_4(aq)+{\rm H_2O}_2(aq)+3{\rm H_2SO}_4(aq)\rightarrow&&\h fill\cr\hfill \qquad\qquad\qquad{\rm O}_2(g)+2{\rm MnSO}_4(aq)+{\rm K_2SO}_4 (aq)+4{\rm H_2O}(l)&&\hfill}
A certain amount of hydrogen peroxide was dissolved in 100.\rm mL of water and then titrated with 1.68 M\rm KMnO_4. How much \rm H_2O_2 was dissolved if the titration required13.8 mL of the \rm KMnO_4 solution?
