A sample of a soil was analysed for K+ as follows. A 2.50 g sample of soil was dissolved in acid and diluted to volume in 100 mL volumetric flask. A 10 mL of the resulting solution was transferred by pipet to a 50 mL volumetric flask and diluted to volume. An analysis showed that the concentration of K+ in the final solution was 9.81 ppm. What was the weight percent of K+ in the original soil

Suppose a group of students put 2.92 grams of an unknown solid acid into a 250-mL volumetric flask and filled it up to the mark with deionized water. After this they pipetted out 15.75 mL of a 1.78 M NaOH(aq) solution into another 250-mL volumetric flask and filled it up to the mark with deionized water. The students were given a pH meter that was already calibrated by their teaching assistant (T.A.) and they got the following result shown in the table below. Calculate the Molarity of the unknown solid acid. Hint: You can approximate the endpoint of the titration by taking the average volume between two consecutive titrant volume reading and you can assume that it is a 1:1 stoichiometry ratio between the acid and OH-(aq).

1. A sample of pure sodium oxalate, Na2C2O4 , weighing 0.2856 g is dissolved in water, sulfuric acid is added, and the solution titrated at 70°C , requiring 45.12 mL of a KMNO4 solution. The end point is overrun and back-titration is carried out with 1.74 mL of a 0.1032 N solution of oxalic acid. Calculate the normality of the KMNO4 solution. Hint: A redox reaction is involed between oxalate and permanganate. Look at the changes in oxidation state by determining the balanced redox reaction: 5C20,2 + + 2MN2+ 2 Mn04 + 10H* → 10CO2 + 8H20
Treatment of ammonia with phenol in the presence of hypochlorite yields indophenol, a blue product that absrobs light at 625 nm, which can be used for the spectrophotometric determination of ammonia. ocr -OH • NH, indophenol anion To determine the ammonia concentration in a sample of lake water, three samples are prepared. In sample A, 10.0 mL of lake water is mixed with 5 mL of phenol solution and 2 mL of sodium hypochlorite solution, and diluted to 25.0 mL in a volumetric flask. In sample B, 10.0 mL of lake water is mixed with 5 mL. of phenol solution, 2 mL of sodium hypochlorite solution, and 2.50 mL of a 5.50 x 10-4 M ammonia solution, and diluted to 25.0 mL. Sample C is a reagent blank. It contains 10.0 mL of distilled water, 5 mL of phenol solution, and 2 ml. of sodium hypochlorite solution, diluted to 25.0 mL. The absorbance of the three samples is then measured at 625 nm in a 1.00 cm cuvette. The results are shown in the table. Sample Absorbance (625 nm) A 0.374 В 0.621 0.045…
As part of the analysis of water samples, the hardness of water is commonly measured and calculated. It is commonly expressed in ppm by mass (parts per million) of CaCO3. Parts per million is also equivalent to milligrams of CACO3 per liter of water. In a sample taken by an environmentalist, he was able to observe a hardness count of 205 mg CacO3/L. Given this hardness count of the sample, what is the molar concentration of Ca2+ ions in the water sample?
A student measured 20 drops of vinegar and one drop of phenolphthalein solution into a well of her well plate. After she had added 35 drops of NaOH solution to the same well, the well was full, but she had still not reached the titration endpoint. She then took a clean pipet and transferred some of the titration mixture into a second well. She rinsed the pipet with a few drops of distilled water and transferred the rinse water into the titration mixture in the second well. Then she continued adding NaOH solution to both wells until she reached the endpoint in both wells. She then recorded the total number of drops of NaOH solution added to both wells and used it to calculate the data for her vinegar titration. Briefly comment on her procedure and the accuracy of her results.
