Question: In a titration of cyanide ion, 28.72 mL of 0.0100 M AgNO3 is added before precipitation begins. [The reaction of Ag+ with CN– goes to completion, producing the Ag(CN)2 − complex.] Precipitation of solid AgCN takes place when excess Ag+ is added to the solution, above the amount needed to complete the formation of Ag(CN)2 −. How many grams of NaCN were in the original sample?

Short Answer

Expert verified

\(2.815 \cdot {10^{ - 2}}{\rm{g}}\)of NaCN were in the original sample.

Step by step solution

01

Calculate the number of moles of Ag+-:

The reaction

\({\rm{A}}{{\rm{g}}^ + } + 2{\rm{C}}{{\rm{N}}^ - } \to {\rm{Ag}}({\rm{CN}})_2^ - \)

  • 28.72 mL of 0.0100 M AgNO3

Let us calculate the mass of NaCN that was in the original sample.

Calculate the number of moles of AgNO3 is

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_{{\rm{AgN}}{{\rm{O}}_3}}} = 0.0100{\rm{M}} \cdot 28.72{\rm{mL}} \cdot \frac{{1{\rm{L}}}}{{1000{\rm{mL}}}}}\\{ = 2.872 \cdot {{10}^{ - 4}}{\rm{mol}}}\end{array}\)

Since 1 mole of AgNO3 dissociates completely into 1 mole of Ag+ and 1 mole of NO3- , the number of moles of Ag+is\(2.872 \cdot {10^{ - 4}}{\rm{mol}}\).

02

Calculate the mass of NaCN:

  • Now let us find the number of moles of NaCN that was in the original sample.

Since 1 mole of Ag+reacts with 2 moles of CN-, the number of moles of CN- is

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{n_{C{N^ - }}} = 2 \cdot {n_{{\rm{A}}{{\rm{g}}^ + }}}}\\{ = 2 \cdot 2.872 \cdot {{10}^{ - 4}}{\rm{mol}}}\\{ = 5.744 \cdot {{10}^{ - 4}}{\rm{mol}}}\end{array}\)

Therefore, the number of moles of NaCN is\(5.744 \cdot {10^{ - 4}}{\rm{mol}}\).

  • Finally, let us calculate the mass of NaCN

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{m_{NaCN}} = {n_{NaCN}} \cdot {M_{NaCN}}}\\{ = 5.744 \cdot {{10}^{ - 4}}{\rm{mol}} \cdot 49.0072{\rm{g}}/{\rm{mol}}}\\{ = 2.815 \cdot {{10}^{ - 2}}{\rm{g}}}\end{array}\)

Question: Using the dissociation constant, \({K_d} = 1 \times 1{0^{ - 44}}\), calculate the equilibrium concentrations of \(F{e^{3 + }}\;and\;C{N^ - }\) in a \(0.333M\) solution of \(Fe(CN)_6^{3 - }\).

Question: 28. The following concentrations are found in mixtures of ions in equilibrium with slightly soluble solids. From the concentrations given, calculate \({K_{sp}}\)for each of the slightly soluble solids indicated:

(a) \(AgBr:\left( {A{g^ + }} \right) = 5.7 \times 1{0^{ - 7}}M,\left( {B{r^ - }} \right) = 5.7 \times 1{0^{ - 7}}M\)

(b) \(CaC{O_3}:\left( {C{a^{2 + }}} \right) = 5.3 \times 1{0^{ - 3}}M,\left( {C{O_3}^{2 - }} \right) = 9.0 \times 1{0^{ - 7}}M\)

(c) \(Pb{F_2}:\left( {P{b^{2 + }}} \right) = 2.1 \times 1{0^{ - 3}}M,\left( {{F^ - }} \right) = 4.2 \times 1{0^{ - 3}}M\)

(d) \(A{g_2}Cr{O_4}:\left( {A{g^ + }} \right) = 5.3 \times 1{0^{ - 5}}M,3.2 \times 1{0^{ - 3}}M\)

(e) \(In{F_3}:\left( {I{n^{3 + }}} \right) = 2.3 \times 1{0^{ - 3}}M,\left( {{F^ - }} \right) = 7.0 \times 1{0^{ - 3}}M\)

Assuming that no equilibria other than dissolution are involved, calculate the concentrations of ions in a saturated solution of each of the following (see Appendix J for solubility products):

(a) \(AgI\)

(b) \(A{g_2}S{O_4}\)

(c) \(Mn{(\;OH\;)_2}\)

(d) \(Sr{(\;OH\;)_2} \times 8{H_2}O\)

(e) The mineral brucite, \(Mg{(\;OH\;)_2}\)

Question: Magnesium metal (a component of alloys used in aircraft and a reducing agent used in the production of uranium, titanium, and other active metals) is isolated from seawater by the following sequence of reactions:

\(\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{M{g^{2 + }}(aq) + Ca{{(OH)}_2}(aq) \to Mg{{(OH)}_2}(s) + C{a^{2 + }}(aq)}\\{Mg{{(OH)}_2}(s) + 2HCl(aq) \to MgC{l_2}(s) + 2{H_2}O(l)}\end{array}\)

\(MgC{l_2}(l)\mathop \to \limits^{\;electrolysis\;} Mg(s) + C{l_2}(g)\)

Sea water has a density of 1.026 g/cm3 and contains 1272 parts per million of magnesium \(M{g^{2 + }}(aq)\)by mass. What mass, in kilograms, \(Ca{(OH)_2}\)is required to precipitate 99.9% of the magnesium in 1.00 × 103 L of seawater?
