List the steps in a chemical analysis.
An unknown sample of Cu2+gave an absorbance of 0.262 in an atomic absorption analysis. Then 1.00 mL of solution containing 100.0 ppm (=g/mL)Cu2+was mixed with 95.0mL of unknown, and the mixture was diluted to 100.0mL in a volumetric flask. The absorbance of the new solution was 0.500.
(a) Denoting the initial, unknown concentration as [Cu2+]i, write an expression for the final concentration,Cu2+f, after dilution. Units of concentration are ppm.
(b) In a similar manner, write the final concentration of added standard Cu2+, designated as [S]f.
(c) Find [Cu2+]i in the unknown.
What color do you expect to observe for the cresol purple indicator (Table 11-3) at the following pH values?
(a) Figure 1-1 shows a peak O3concentration of 13mPain the stratosphere. Figure 1-3 shows a peak concentration of O3 of 39ppbat ground level at one particular location. To compare these concentrations, convertto pressure in. Which concentration is higher? To convert 39ppb to, assume that atmospheric pressure at the surface of the Earth is 1 bar . If atmospheric pressure is 1 bar, then a concentration ofis.
(b) The pressure of the atmosphere at 16kmaltitude in the stratosphere is 9.6kPa. The peak pressure O3 ofat this altitude in the stratosphere in Figure 1-1 is 19mPa. Convert the pressure of 19mPa toppb when the atmospheric pressure is 9.6kPa
A titration curve for Na2CO3 titrated with HCl is shownhere. Suppose that both phenolphthalein and bromocresol green arepresents in the titration solution. State what colors you expect to
observe at the following volumes of added HCl:
2 mL; (b) 10 mL; (c) 19 mL.
