cd2+was used as an internal standard in the analysis of Pb2+by square wave polarography. Cd2+gives a reduction wave at -0.60 V and Pb2+gives a reduction wave at –0.40 V. It was first verified that the ratio of peak heights is proportional to the ratio of concentrations over the whole range employed in the experiment. Here are results for known and unknown mixtures:

The unknown mixture was prepared by mixing 25.00(±0.05)mLof unknown (containing only Pb2+) plus 10.00(±0.05)mLof 3.23(±0.01)×10-4MCd2+and diluting to 50.00(±0.05)mL.

(a) Disregarding uncertainties, find [Pb2+]in the undiluted unknown.

(b) Find the absolute uncertainty for the answer to part (a).

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) Strength of undiluted unknown is 2.60×10-4M.

(b) Concentration of lead ion is 2.60(±0.09)×104M.

Step by step solution

01

Find the undiluted strength

(a) Calculating the concentration of a lead ions in a mixture containing cadmium ions and lead ions.

The internal standard equation is X=Pb2+and S=Cd2+.

The standard mixture response factor is given as

role="math" localid="1667558549294" SignalX[X]=Fsignalss[S]1.58μ´¡[41.8μ²Ñ]=F1.64μ´¡[32.3μ²Ñ]F=0.7445

Cadmium mixed with an unknown concentration is

=10.0050.003.23×10-4M=6.46×10-5M

The concentration of a lead ion in the diluted unknown and undiluted unknown is calculated as

SignalX[X]=Fsignalss[S]3.00μA[Pb2+]=0.74451.64μ´¡[64.6μM][Pb2+]=130.2μM

The strength of undiluted unknown is50.0025.00130.2μM=2.60×10-4M

02

Find the absolute uncertainty

b. Calcualting the ambiguity in concentration of lead ion.

Comparative uncertainty in response factor is

F=(1.58±0.03)(32.3±0.1)(1.64±0.03)(41.8±0.1)=0.7445±0.0199(±2.67%)

Ambiguity in concentration of lead ion is

Pb2+=(3.00±0.03)(10.00±0.05)(50.00±0.05)3.23(±0.01)×104(2.00±0.03)(0.7445±0.0199)Pb2+=2.60(±0.09)×104−M

The drug Librium gives a polarographic wave withE1/2=-0.265V(versus S.C.E.) in 0.05MH2SO4. A 50.0 - Mlsample containing Librium gave a wave height of0.37μA. When 2.00mLof 3.00mMLibrium in0.05MH2SO4were added to the sample, the wave height increased to0.80μA. Find the molarity of Librium in the unknown.

Coulometric titration of sulfite in wine. Sulfur dioxide is added to many foods as a preservative. In aqueous solution, the following species are in equilibrium:

Bisulfite reacts with aldehydes in food near neutral pH:


Sulfite is released from the adduct in 2MNaOH and can be analyzed by its reaction with I3- to give I-and sulfate. ExcessI3- must be present for quantitative reaction.

Here is a coulometric procedure for analysis of total sulfite in white wine. Total sulfite means all species in Reaction and the adduct in Reaction . We use white wine so that we can see the color of a starch-iodine end point.

1. Mix 9.00 mL of wine plus 0.8gNaOH and dilute to 10.00mL. The releases sulfite from its organic adducts.

2. Generate I3-at the working electrode (the anode) by passing a known current for a known time through the cell in Figure 17 - 10. The cell containsofacetate buffer () plus. In the cathode compartment, is reduced to H2+OH-. The frit retards diffusion of into the main compartment, where it would react with I3- to giveIO-.

3. Generate I3- at the anode with a current of for.

4. Inject 2.000mL of the wine/ solution into the cell, where the sulfite reacts with leaving excess.

5. Add of thiosulfate to consume by Reaction and leave excess thiosulfate.

6. Add starch indicator to the cell and generate freshI3- with a constant current of 10.0mA. A time of 131s was required to consume excess thiosulfate and reach the starch end point.

(b) Write balanced half-reactions for the anode and cathode.

(c) At pH 3.7, the dominant form of sulfurous acid isand the dominant form of sulfuric acid is HSO42-. Write balanced reactions between andand between I3-and HSO3-thiosulfate.

(d) Find the concentration of total sulfite in undiluted wine.

Peak current (IP)and scan rate (v) are listed for cyclic voltammetry of the reversible reaction Fe( II ) Fe(III ) of a water-soluble ferrocene derivative in 0.1MNaCLIf a graph of IPversusvgives a straight line, then the reaction is diffusion controlled. Prepare such a graph and use it to find the diffusion coefficient of the reactant from Equation17 - 21for this one-electron oxidation. The area of the working electrode is0.0201cm2, and the concentration of reactant is 1.00mM.
