Which statement about the determination of the percentage purity of benzoic acid is correct? * A- Only sodium hydroxide solution can be used as the titrant in the volumetric analysis of benzoic acid. B- Analysing a benzoic acid sample that still contains some hydrochloric acid may yield an analyte percentage that is less than expected.

You want to determine the concentration of NaCl in a water. In preliminary analysis, it appears to be saline water with a NaCl content of approximately 4%. Should you dilute the sample if your titrant has a concentration of 0.1 M and you want to spend 25 mL of sample? Solution: You must dilute approximately ten times, taking 10 mL of sample and making up to 100 mL. In this way, 17.20 mL of titrant will be spent.

A forensic chemist is given a white powder by the investigator of a crime scene. The investigator wants to know if the powder is a pure substance or a mixture. The chemist dissolves some of the powder in deionized water making a clear solution. She finds that a precipitate forms when she adds an excess aqueous solution of sodium chloride. She filters the precipitate and washes it several times with deionized water. To this filtrate she then adds an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate. A precipitate forms. Question: Draw two pictures representing a molecular / atomic / ionic view of what occurred when a precipitate formed with the addition of sodium chloride solution. Choose the type of particle that is the most appropriate for this reaction. Place charges on any ions indicating charge values (+1, -2, etc.) when they are known. If charges are unknown indicate whether the ion is positive or negative. Clearly indicate which picture represents before the reaction occurs. Should…

A sample containing chlorophenol, C6H4ClOH, was analysed by gravimetric analysis. A 0.783-g of this sample goes through a chemical process allowing the chlorine in the chlorophenol to precipitate as silver chloride, weighing 0.271 g. Calculate the % (wt/wt) of the chlorophenol in the sample, assuming that chlorophenol is the only source of chlorine in the sample. Provide your answer to two decimal places and without units. Avoid using scientific notation.
