Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Sodium trioxocarbonate(IV)

Cevap

Sodium trioxocarbonate(IV) forms an alkaline solution in water due to anion hydrolysis.

Sodium trioxocarbonate(IV) dissolves in water to form sodium ions and trioxocarbonate(IV) ions. Because trioxocarbonate(IV) is the conjugate base of a weak acid, it reacts with water to release hydroxide ions (

OH^-

), creating an alkaline solution that turns red litmus paper blue.

Identify the parent acid and base for the salt.

Sodium trioxocarbonate(IV) (

Na_2CO_3

) is formed from sodium hydroxide (

NaOH

, a strong base) and carbonic acid (

H_2CO_3

, a weak acid).

The hydrolysis behavior of a salt is determined by the relative strengths of its parent acid and base.

2

Analyze the ion hydrolysis reaction.

The carbonate anion (

CO_3^{2-}

) reacts with water according to:

CO_3^{2-} + H_2O \rightleftharpoons HCO_3^- + OH^-

.

Anions derived from weak acids act as conjugate bases and hydrolyze in water to generate hydroxide ions (

OH^-

).

3

Determine the solution acidity/alkalinity and indicator response.

The production of excess

OH^-

ions makes the solution basic (

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 7

Cevap

The integer value of x is 7.

By using the titration volume and concentration of acidified potassium tetraoxomanganate(VII), the amount of iron(II) ions in the sample is calculated. Knowing the total mole amount of anhydrous iron(II) tetraoxosulfate(VI) allows determination of the mass of the anhydrous salt component (3.80 g). Subtracting this from the initial hydrated sample mass (6.95 g) gives the mass of water of crystallization (3.15 g). Dividing the moles of water (0.175 mol) by the moles of anhydrous salt (0.025 mol) yields exactly 7 water molecules of crystallization per formula unit.

A $0.04\text{ mol dm}^{-3}$ aqueous solution of a weak monobasic acid, $\text{HA}$ , is $2.0\%$ ionized at $25^\circ\text{C}$ . If distilled water is added to this solution until its total volume is quadrupled, what is the degree of ionization of the acid in the diluted solution?

4.0\%

8.0\%

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: $4.0\%$

Cevap

The degree of ionization of the acid in the diluted solution is

4.0\%

.

By Ostwald's dilution law for weak monobasic acids,

K_a = \alpha^2 C

, which rearranges to

\alpha = \sqrt{\frac{K_a}{C}}

. Since

K_a

is constant at a fixed temperature, the degree of ionization

\alpha

is inversely proportional to the square root of the concentration (

\alpha \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{C}}

). Quadrupling the volume decreases the concentration by a factor of 4 (

C_2 = \frac{C_1}{4}

), which increases the degree of ionization by a factor of

\sqrt{4} = 2

. Therefore, the new degree of ionization is

2.0\% \times 2 = 4.0\%

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Calculate the acid dissociation constant (

K_a

) using the initial concentration and degree of ionization.

Initial concentration

C_1 = 0.04\text{ mol dm}^{-3}

, initial degree of ionization

\alpha_1 = 2.0\% = 0.02

. Using

K_a \approx \alpha_1^2 C_1

, we get

K_a = (0.02)^2 \times 0.04 = 4.0 \times 10^{-4} \times 0.04 = 1.6 \times 10^{-5}\text{ mol dm}^{-3}

.

The value of

K_a

depends only on temperature and remains constant upon dilution.

2

Determine the new concentration (

C_2

) after quadrupling the solution volume.

C_2 = \frac{C_1}{4} = \frac{0.04\text{ mol dm}^{-3}}{4} = 0.01\text{ mol dm}^{-3}

.

Diluting a solution to 4 times its original volume reduces its molar concentration by a factor of 4.

3

Calculate the new degree of ionization (

\alpha_2

) in the diluted solution.

\alpha_2 = \sqrt{\frac{K_a}{C_2}} = \sqrt{\frac{1.6 \times 10^{-5}}{0.01}} = \sqrt{1.6 \times 10^{-3}} = \sqrt{16 \times 10^{-4}} = 4.0 \times 10^{-2} = 0.04 = 4.0\%$.

A weak monobasic acid has a concentration of $0.20\text{ mol dm}^{-3}$ in aqueous solution. At equilibrium, the hydrogen ion concentration, $[H^+]$ , is measured to be $1.0 \times 10^{-3}\text{ mol dm}^{-3}$ . What is the percentage degree of ionization of the acid in this solution?

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: 0.5

Cevap

The percentage degree of ionization of the weak acid is 0.5%.

The percentage degree of ionization measures the fraction of acid molecules that ionize in water, expressed as a percentage. By substituting

[H^+] = 1.0 \times 10^{-3}\text{ mol dm}^{-3}

and initial concentration

C = 0.20\text{ mol dm}^{-3}

into

\text{Percentage ionization} = \left(\frac{[H^+]}{C}\right) \times 100\%

, we obtain

\left(\frac{0.001}{0.20}\right) \times 100\% = 0.5\%

.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the relationship between degree of ionization (\alpha), hydrogen ion concentration (

[H^+]

), and initial acid concentration (

C

).

\alpha = \frac{[H^+]}{C}

For a weak monobasic acid ionizing according to

HA \rightleftharpoons H^+ + A^-

, the concentration of ionized hydrogen ions equals

\alpha C

.

2

Calculate the fractional degree of ionization (\alpha).

\alpha = \frac{1.0 \times 10^{-3}\text{ mol dm}^{-3}}{0.20\text{ mol dm}^{-3}} = 0.005

Dividing the equilibrium hydrogen ion concentration by the initial acid concentration gives the fraction of acid molecules that ionized.

3

Convert the fractional degree of ionization into a percentage.

\text{Percentage ionization} = 0.005 \times 100\% = 0.5\%

Multiplying the decimal fraction by 100 converts the degree of ionization into percentage form.

Cevap

The ethanoate ion,

CH_3COO^-

The ethanoate ion (

CH_3COO^-

) is the conjugate base of the weak acid ethanoic acid (

CH_3COOH

). When potassium ethanoate dissolves in water,

CH_3COO^-

hydrolyzes by accepting a proton from water to form

CH_3COOH

and releasing

OH^-

ions into the solution:

CH_3COO^-(aq) + H_2O(l) \rightleftharpoons CH_3COOH(aq) + OH^-(aq)

. The accumulation of free hydroxide ions makes the solution alkaline (

pH > 7

).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the ions formed when potassium ethanoate dissolves in water.

Potassium ethanoate dissociates completely into potassium ions (

Soluble ionic salts completely dissociate into their constituent cations and anions in aqueous solution.

2

Determine which ion reacts with water (hydrolyzes).

Potassium (

Cevap

The appropriate indicator is methyl orange, which changes from yellow to red (or pink) at the equivalence point.

In a titration between a strong acid (

\text{HCl}

) and a weak base (

\text{NH}_3

), ammonium chloride (

\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}

) is formed. The hydrolysis of

\text{NH}_4^+

ions makes the solution acidic at the equivalence point (

\text{pH} < 7

). Methyl orange is the correct indicator because its transition range (

\text{pH } 3.1 - 4.4

) coincides with this acidic equivalence point, turning red (or pink) when the endpoint is reached.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Analyze the nature of the reactants

Hydrochloric acid (

\text{HCl}

) is a strong acid, and aqueous ammonia (

\text{NH}_3(aq)

) is a weak base.

The relative strengths of the acid and base determine the pH at the equivalence point.

2

Determine the pH range at the equivalence point

The salt formed (

\text{NH}_4\text{Cl}

) undergoes hydrolysis, producing an acidic solution with an equivalence point at

\text{pH} < 7

(typically between

\text{pH } 3

and

6

).

Salt hydrolysis of a strong acid and weak base yields ammonium ions (

\text{NH}_4^+

) which hydrolyze to produce

\text{H}_3\text{O}^+

ions.

3

Select the suitable indicator and recall its color change

Methyl orange functions in the

\text{pH}

range of

3.1 - 4.4

, changing from yellow in basic solution to red (or pink) at the acidic endpoint.

An indicator must undergo a distinct color transition within the steep

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap: Deliquescence

Cevap

Deliquescence is the phenomenon where a solid absorbs water vapor from the atmosphere until it dissolves in that water to form a saturated solution.

Deliquescence is the spontaneous absorption of atmospheric moisture by a solid until it liquefies into a solution. Typical examples of deliquescent compounds include calcium chloride (

CaCl_2

), iron(III) chloride (

FeCl_3

), and sodium hydroxide (

NaOH

).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the characteristic atmospheric behavior described in the prompt.

The process involves absorbing moisture from the air to the extent of forming a liquid solution.

This specific property defines deliquescence (e.g., as observed with anhydrous calcium chloride,

CaCl_2

, or sodium hydroxide,

NaOH

pellets).

Cevap: $80.0\%$ , using phenolphthalein

Cevap

80.0%, using phenolphthalein

The neutralization reaction requires two moles of sodium hydroxide for every mole of diprotic acid. Using

\frac{C_A V_A}{C_B V_B} = \frac{1}{2}

, the concentration of pure acid is

0.040\text{ mol dm}^{-3}

. Multiplying by the molar mass (

126\text{ g mol}^{-1}

) gives

5.04\text{ g dm}^{-3}

of pure acid. Dividing by the sample mass concentration (

6.30\text{ g dm}^{-3}

) and multiplying by

100\%

yields

80.0\%

. Because the titration involves a weak acid and a strong base, the solution at the end point is alkaline, which requires phenolphthalein as the indicator.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Write the balanced chemical equation to determine the mole ratio.

\text{H}_2\text{X}\cdot 2\text{H}_2\text{O} + 2\text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{X} + 4\text{H}_2\text{O}

, giving mole ratio

\frac{n_A}{n_B} = \frac{1}{2}

.

Diprotic acid yields two hydrogen ions per molecule, requiring two moles of sodium hydroxide for neutralization.

2

Calculate the molar concentration of the pure acid in solution using the titration formula.

\frac{C_A \times 25.0}{0.10 \times 20.0} = \frac{1}{2} \implies C_A = \frac{0.10 \times 20.0}{25.0 \times 2} = 0.040\text{ mol dm}^{-3}

.

Relating acid and base concentrations via volumes and stoichiometric coefficients.

3

Convert the molar concentration of pure acid to mass concentration.

\text{Mass concentration} = 0.040\text{ mol dm}^{-3} \times 126\text{ g mol}^{-1} = 5.04\text{ g dm}^{-3}.

Mass concentration equals molar concentration multiplied by molar mass.

4

Calculate the percentage purity of the acid sample.

\text{Percentage purity} = \left(\frac{5.04\text{ g dm}^{-3}}{6.30\text{ g dm}^{-3}}\right) \times 100\% = 80.0\%.

Percentage purity is the ratio of pure mass concentration to total sample mass concentration.

5

Select the correct indicator for the titration.

Phenolphthalein is selected.

Titrating a weak acid against a strong base produces a basic salt solution at equivalence (pH > 7), making phenolphthalein (pH range 8.3–10.0) the suitable indicator.

Washing soda crystals undergo efflorescence; anhydrous calcium chloride undergoes deliquescence; concentrated sulfuric acid is hygroscopic; copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate loses its water of crystallization upon heating.

Washing soda crystals (

\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 \cdot 10\text{H}_2\text{O}

) undergo efflorescence when exposed to dry air. Anhydrous calcium chloride (

\text{CaCl}_2

) absorbs moisture until it forms a solution, which is deliquescence. Concentrated sulfuric acid (

\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4

) absorbs moisture without dissolving a solid matrix, illustrating hygroscopic behavior. Copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (

\text{CuSO}_4 \cdot 5\text{H}_2\text{O}

) loses its water of crystallization thermally to yield a white anhydrous salt.

Adım Adım Çözüm

Analyze the behavior of

\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 \cdot 10\text{H}_2\text{O}

.

It loses 9 molecules of water of crystallization to dry air, forming a powdery monohydrate

\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3 \cdot \text{H}_2\text{O}

(efflorescence).

Efflorescence occurs when the vapor pressure of the hydrated salt is greater than the partial pressure of water vapor in the atmosphere.

2

Analyze anhydrous

\text{CaCl}_2

.

It absorbs moisture from air and eventually dissolves in the absorbed water to form a saturated solution (deliquescence).

Deliquescence occurs when a solid compound's saturated solution has a lower vapor pressure than the atmospheric water vapor pressure.

3

Analyze concentrated

\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4

.

It absorbs moisture from the atmosphere without changing state to form a new dissolved phase, acting as a liquid hygroscopic substance.

Hygroscopic substances absorb water vapor from the surrounding environment without dissolving into a liquid solution from a solid state.

4

Analyze

\text{CuSO}_4 \cdot 5\text{H}_2\text{O}

.

Heating drives off the 5 water molecules of crystallization, converting blue crystalline pentahydrate to white anhydrous copper(II) sulfate.

Water of crystallization is chemically bound in the crystal lattice and can be expelled thermally, altering optical/crystalline properties.

. The stoichiometric ratio of acid to base is

1 : 2

.

Ethanedioic acid is a diprotic acid requiring two moles of hydroxide ions for complete neutralization per mole of acid.

2

Calculate the amount in moles of sodium hydroxide solution used in the titration.

\text{Moles of NaOH} = 0.100\text{ mol dm}^{-3} \times \frac{25.0}{1000}\text{ dm}^3 = 0.0025\text{ mol}

\text{Molar mass} = \frac{1.575\text{ g}}{0.0125\text{ mol}} = 126\text{ g mol}^{-1}

. Molar mass of anhydrous

\text{H}_2\text{C}_2\text{O}_4 = 2(1) + 2(12) + 4(16) = 90\text{ g mol}^{-1}

. Mass of

x\text{H}_2\text{O} = 126 - 90 = 36\text{ g mol}^{-1}

. Thus,

x = \frac{36}{18} = 2

Complete the statement below regarding the volumetric analysis of a mixture containing sodium carbonate and sodium hydrogen carbonate using double indicators.

Aşağıdaki boşlukları doldurun

During the titration of a mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium hydrogen carbonate against standard hydrochloric acid, the first equivalence point marking the half-neutralization of sodium carbonate to sodium hydrogen carbonate is indicated by , which turns from pink to at a pH range of approximately 8.3 to 10.0.

Cevabı ve açıklamayı göster

Cevap

The first equivalence point is detected using phenolphthalein indicator, which transitions from pink to colorless (or colourless).

Phenolphthalein is the correct indicator for the first equivalence point because its transition interval (pH 8.3–10.0) matches the pH of the sodium hydrogen carbonate solution formed when all carbonate ions are neutralized. Its color changes from pink in alkaline medium to colorless at the endpoint.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1

Identify the chemical reaction occurring at the first equivalence point of the carbonate-bicarbonate titration.

At the first endpoint, all

\text{CO}_3^{2-}

ions are protonated to form

\text{HCO}_3^-

according to

\text{CO}_3^{2-} + \text{H}^+ \rightarrow \text{HCO}_3^-

. The pH at this stage is weakly alkaline (around pH 8.3).

Sodium hydrogen carbonate is an amphiprotic salt that forms a solution with a pH near 8.3, requiring an indicator with a pH transition range in the alkaline region.

2

Determine the appropriate indicator and its observed color change at this pH transition.

Phenolphthalein has a pH transition range of 8.3–10.0. In basic solution containing carbonate ions, it displays a pink color, and turns colorless once all carbonate ions are converted to hydrogen carbonate ions.

Methyl orange changes color at pH 3.1–4.4, which corresponds to the second equivalence point where hydrogen carbonate is completely converted to carbon dioxide and water.
