A 50.00-mL solution containingwas treated with excess AgNo3 to precipitate 0.2146 g of AgBr (FM 187.772). What was the molarity of NaBr in the solution?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The Molarity of NaBr in a solution is [NaBr]=0.02286M.

Step by step solution

01

calculate the moles of AgBr: 

In this task we have a 50 mL solution that contains NaBr treated with excess AgNO3in order to precipitate 0.2146 g of AgBr (FM = 187.772). Here we will calculate the molarity of NaBr in the solution.

Consider this reaction:

NaBr+AgNO3AgBr+NaNO3

From the above reaction we can see that n(AgBr)=n(NaBr).

Calculate the moles of AgBr:

n(AgBr)=mMn(AgBr)=0.2416g187.772g/moln(AgBr)=1.1429×10-3mol

02

Calculate the molarity of NaBr:

[NaBr]=nV[NaBr]=1.1429×10-3mol50×10-3L[NaBr]=0.02286M

Explain what is done in thermogravimetric analysis.

An organic compound with a formula mass of 417g/molwas analyzed for ethoxyl (CHyCH2O-)groups by the reactions

ROCH2CH3+HIROH+CH3CH2ICH3CH2I+Ag++OH-AgI(s)+CH3CH2OH

A 25.42-mg sample of compound produced How many ethoxyl groups are there in each molecule?

A mixture weighing 7.290mgcontained only cyclohexane, C6H12(FM 84.159), and oxirane, C2H4O(FM 44.052). When the mixture was analyzed by combustion analysis, 21.999mg ofCO2(FM 44.009) were produced. Find the weight percent of oxirane in mixture.

The thermogravimetric trace on the next page shows mass loss by Y2(OH)5ClxH2O upon heating. In the first step, waters of hydration are lost to give ~8.1% mass loss. After a decomposition step,19.2% of the original mass is lost. Finally, the composition stabilizes atY2O3 above 8009C.

(a) Find x in the formula Y2(OH)5ClxH2O.Because the 8.1% mass loss is not accurately defined in the experiment, use the 31.8% total mass loss for your calculation.

(b) Suggest a formula for the material remaining at the 19.2% plateau. Be sure that the charges of all ions in your formula sum to 0 . The cation is Y3+.

Consider a mixture of the two solids,

BaCl22H2O(FM244.26)andKCI(FM74.551), in an unknown ratio. (The notation BaCl22H2O means that a crystal is formed with two water molecules for each BaCl2) When the unknown is heated to 160°C for 1h, the water of crystallization is driven off:

BaCl22H2O(s)160°BaCI(s)+2H2O(g)

A sample originally weighing 1.7839 g weighed 1.5623 g after heating. Calculate the weight percent Ba,K and Cl ofin the original sample.
