Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
An approximate answer for the given calculation is to be stated. The ballpark answer is to be verified.
Concept introduction:
With experience, the answer to the chemical calculations can be estimated before using a calculator. After setting up the numerical calculation, each value is rounded off to one significant digit and the calculation is performed mentally. The resulting estimated answer is termed as ballpark answer as the value is only approximate.

- ssume a highly magnified view of a solution of HCI that allows you to “see” the HCl. Draw this magnified view. If you dropped in a piece of magnesium, the magnesium would disappear, and hydrogen gas would he released. Represent this change using symbols for the elements, and write the balanced equation.arrow_forwardA student weighs out a 4.80-g sample of aluminum bromide, transfers it to a 100-mL volumetric flask, adds enough water to dissolve it, and then adds water to the 100-mL mark. What is the molarity of aluminum bromide in the resulting solution?arrow_forwardEach box represents a tiny volume in an aqueous solution of an ionic compound. (For simplicity, water molecules are not shown.) Which box represents: (a) Na2CO3, (b) NH4NO3, (C) CaBr2? Explain your reasoning.arrow_forward
- You want to prepare a 1.0 mol/kg solution of ethyleneglycol, C2H4(OH)2, in water. Calculate the mass of ethylene glycol you would need to mix with 950. g water.arrow_forward3.86 When a solution is diluted, solvent is added but solute is not. Explain how this idea leads to the equation frequently used in dilution calculations, M1V1= M2V2.arrow_forwardAn unknown solid acid is either citric acid or tartaric acid. To determine which acid you have, you titrate a sample of the solid with aqueous NaOH and from this determine the molar mass of the unknown acid. The appropriate equations are as follows. Citric acid: H3C6H5O7(aq) + 3 NaOH(aq) 3 H2O(l) + Na3C6H5O7(aq) Tartaric acid: H2C4H4O6(aq)+ 2 NaOH(aq) 2 H2O(l) + Na2C4H4O6(aq) A 0.956-g sample requires 29.1 mL of 0.513 M NaOH to consume the acid completely. What is The unknown acid?arrow_forward
- Sodium chloride is used in intravenous solutions for medical applications. The NaCl concentration in such solutions must be accurately known and can be assessed by reacting the solution with an experimentally determined volume of AgNO3 solution of known concentration. The net ionic equation is Ag+(aq)+Cl(aq)AgCl(s) Suppose that a chemical technician uses 19.3 mL of 0.200-M AgNO3 to convert all the NaCl in a 25.0-mL sample of an intravenous solution to AgCl. Calculate the molarity of NaCl in the solution.arrow_forwardWhat volume of 0.250 M HCI is required to neutralize each of the following solutions? a. 25.0 mL of 0.103 M sodium hydroxide, NaOH b. 50.0 mL of 0.00501 M calcium hydroxide, Ca(OH)2 c. 20.0 mL of 0.226 M ammonia, NH3 d. 15.0 mL of 0.0991 M potassium hydroxide, KOHarrow_forwardYou wish to prepare 1 L of a 0.02-M potassium iodate solution. You require that the final concentration be within 1% of 0.02 M and that the concentration must be known accurately to the fourth decimal place. How would you prepare this solution? Specify the glassware you would use, the accuracy needed for the balance, and the ranges of acceptable masses of KIO3 that can be used.arrow_forward
