A 0.2688 -g sample of a monoprotic acid neutralizes \(16.4 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(0.08133 \mathrm{M}\) KOH solution. Calculate the molar mass of the acid.

Short Answer

Expert verified
The molar mass of this monoprotic acid is approximately \(200.6 \, \, g/mol\).

Step by step solution

01

Calculate moles of KOH

The moles of KOH can be calculated by multiplying its volume in liters (by converting ml to liters we get \(16.4 \,\, ml=0.0164 \,\, l\)) by its molarity which is \(0.08133 \, \, M\). Thus, \(0.0164 \, \, l\times 0.08133 \, \, M=0.00134 \, \, mol\).
02

Determine the moles of the monoprotic acid

As our acid is monoprotic, it means that one mole of the acid reacts with one mole of KOH. Hence, the moles of the monoprotic acid can be assumed to be equal to the moles of KOH i.e., \(0.00134 \, \, mol\).
03

Calculate the molar mass

Molar mass is calculated by dividing the mass of the substance by the number of moles. Since we have 0.2688 g of the acid and it is 0.00134 mol, its molar mass would be \(\frac{0.2688 \, \, g}{0.00134 \, \, mol}= 200.6 \, \, g/mol\).

The molar mass of a certain metal carbonate, \(\mathrm{MCO}_{3}\), can be determined by adding an excess of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) acid to react with the carbonate and then "back-titrating" the remaining acid with \(\mathrm{NaOH}\). (a) Write an equation for these reactions. (b) In a certain experiment, \(20.00 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(0.0800 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{HCl}\) were added to a \(0.1022-\mathrm{g}\) sample of \(\mathrm{MCO}_{3}\). The excess HCl required \(5.64 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(0.1000 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaOH}\) for neutralization. Calculate the molar mass of the carbonate and identify \(\mathrm{M}\).

Which of these solutions has the highest \(\left[\mathrm{H}^{+}\right]\) : (a) \(0.10 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{HF},\) (b) \(0.10 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{HF}\) in \(0.10 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaF},\) or (c) \(0.10 \mathrm{M}\) HF in \(0.10 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{SbF}_{5}\) ?

Specify which of these systems can be classified as a buffer system: (a) \(\mathrm{KCl} / \mathrm{HCl}\), (b) \(\mathrm{NH}_{3} / \mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{NO}_{3}\) (c) \(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{HPO}_{4} / \mathrm{NaH}_{2} \mathrm{PO}_{4}\)

For which of these reactions is the equilibrium constant called a solubility product? (a) \(\mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{OH})_{2}(s)+2 \mathrm{OH}^{-}(a q) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Zn}(\mathrm{OH})_{4}^{2-}(a q)\) (b) \(3 \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}(a q)+2 \mathrm{PO}_{4}^{3-}(a q) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Ca}_{3}\left(\mathrm{PO}_{4}\right)_{2}(s)\) (c) \(\mathrm{CaCO}_{3}(s)+2 \mathrm{H}^{+}(a q) \rightleftharpoons\) \(\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}(a q)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l)+\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)\) (d) \(\mathrm{PbI}_{2}(s) \rightleftharpoons \mathrm{Pb}^{2+}(a q)+2 \mathrm{I}^{-}(a q)\)

If \(\mathrm{NaOH}\) is added to \(0.010 \mathrm{MAl}^{3+}\), which will be the predominant species at equilibrium: \(\mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_{3}\) or \(\mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_{4}^{-} ?\) The \(\mathrm{pH}\) of the solution is \(14.00 .\left[K_{\mathrm{f}}\right.\) for \(\mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{OH})_{4}^{-}=2.0 \times 10^{33}\)
