2a) If H2 and Cl2 are added to a container, both at 2 atm, what will the pressure of HCl be after the system reaches equilibrium? H2 + Cl2 ↔ 2 HCl K = 150 x x 4 atm – 2x

Since the equilibrium constant is large (150) we must shift the ingredients to the right. This means that 2 atm H2 and 2 atm Cl2 will produce 4 atm HCl. Using this value we can now solve the equilibrium

You do not have to assume that 2x is small. You can solve this exactly. Take the square root of both sides and then solve for x. So, x = 0.2808 atm so the pressure of HCl = 4 atm – 2(0.2808 atm) = 3.44 atm

2b) If the equilibrium pressure of HCl is 2 atm what pressures of H2 and Cl2 must have been added to the container originally?

x = 0.1633 atm H2 and Cl2 left after equilibrium. To make 2 atm of HCl, 1 atm H2 and 1 atm Cl2 must have been consumed. Therefore there must have been 1 atm + 0.1633 = 1.1633 atm H2 and Cl2 to start.

What volume of 0.40 M NaOH must be added to 100 mL of 0.25 M acetic acid to make a buffer of pH = 4.0? pKa = 4.74 for acetic acid. (0.40 M)(V) = 0.003849 mol NaOH V = 9.62 mL 20) How much 0.5 M NaOH must be added to 80 mL of 0.75 M H3PO4 to make a buffer of pH = 8? Ka1 = 2.12, Ka2 = 7.21, Ka3 = 12.67 The pH is nearest the 2nd pKa so the buffer is in Region II. You must add, (0.75 M)(0.080 L) = (0.50 M)(V) V = 120 mL so add 120 mL to get to the starting point. = (0.50 M)(V) V = 103.25 mL Total volume = 103.25 mL + 120 mL = 223.35 mL NaOH

31) What is the solubility of PbCl2 in a solution of 0.10 M H2S at a pH=0? Ksp =1.6x10-5 for PbCl2, Ksp = 8x10-28 for PbS, Keq = 1x10-20 for H2S (to 2 H+ + S2-). PbS <---> Pb2+ + S2- Ksp = 8x10-28

H2S <---> 2 H+ + S2- Keq = 1x10-20

Note: the Pb2+ concentration can only be as high as the least soluble compound so the solubility of PbS will determine the concentration of Pb2+

[H+]2 [S2-]/[H 2S] = 1x10-20 [S2-] = 1x10-20 [H2S]/[H+]2 = 1x10-20 [0.1]/[1]2 = 1x10-21 M S2-

Substitute this result into the following equation,

[Pb2+] [S2-] = 8x10-28 [Pb2+] = 8x10-28/[S2-] = 8x10-28/[1x10-21] = 8x10-7 M

Now, all equilibriums must be satisfied simultaneously. Since this is the maximum concentration of Pb2+ that can be in solution, we can use this value to calculate the Cl-

concentration from the PbCl2. PbCl2(s) ↔ Pb2+ + 2 Cl- [Pb2+] [Cl -]2 = 1.6x10-5 => [8x10-7 M] [Cl -]2 = 1.6x10-5 [Cl-] = 4.47 M This concentration of Cl- is fairly high. It can only be this high if all of the PbCl2 dissolved. So, if you put H2S in a solution of PbCl2, all of the PbCl2 would dissolve and become PbS.

32) Calculate the maximum concentration of Fe3+ in an 0.10 M H2S solution buffered at pH=6. Ksp = 1.6x10-21 for Fe2S3 and Keq = 1x10-20 for H2S (to 2 H+ + S2-).

[H+]2 [S2-]/[H 2S] = 1x10-20 [S2-] = 1x10-20 [H2S]/[H+]2 = 1x10-20 [0.1]/[1x10-6]2 = 1x10-9 M S2-

Substitute this result into the following equation,

Fe2S3(s) ↔ 2 Fe3+ + 3 S2-

[Fe3+]2 [S2-]3 = 1.6x10-21 [Fe3+] = (1.6x10-21/[S2-]3)½ = (1.6x10-21/[1x10-9]3)½ = 1264.9 M Fe3+ => 632.45 M Fe2S3

33) What is the solubility cadmium sulfide (CdS) in a saturated solution of H2S = 0.10 M at pH = 3? CdS <--> Cd2+ + S2- Ksp = 8x10-27 H2S <--> 2H+ + S2- Keq = 1x10-20

[H+]2 [S2-]/[H 2S] = 1x10-20 [S2-] = 1x10-20 [H2S]/[H+]2 = 1x10-20 [0.1]/[1x10-3]2 = 1x10-15 M S2-

Substitute this result into the following equation,

[Cd2+] [S2-] = 8x10-27 [Cd2+] = 8x10-27/[S2-] = 8x10-27/[1x10-17] = 8x10-12 M

34) What is the solubility (silver ion concentration) of silver sulfide (Ag2S) in a saturated solution of H2S = 0.10 M at pH = 3? Ag2S <--> 2 Ag+ + S2- Ksp = 1.6x10-49 H2S <--> 2H+ + S2- Keq = 1.1x10-20

[H+]2 [S2-]/[H 2S] = 1x10-20 [S2-] = 1x10-20 [H2S]/[H+]2 = 1x10-20 [0.1]/[1x10-3]2 = 1x10-15 M S2-

Substitute this result into the following equation,

[Ag+]2 [S2-] = 1.6x10-49 [Ag+] = 1.6x10-49/[S2-] = 1.6x10-49/[1x10-17] = 1.6x10-32 M Ag+

35) How much of each precipitate will form and what will the concentration of lead be if 0.075 mole sodium oxalate (Na2C2O4 = Na2Ox) is added to 100 mL of solution containing 0.30 M Mg(NO3)2 and 0.5 M Pb(NO3)2? MgOx(s) ↔ Mg2+ + Ox2- Ksp = 8.6x10-5 PbOx(s) ↔ Pb2+ + Ox2- Ksp = 4.8x10-10

Neither compound is very soluble so you can begin by assuming that 100% of the Pb2+ and Mg2+ will react to form solids.

(0.30 M)(0.100 L) = 0.03 mole Mg(NO3)2 (0.50 M)(0.100 L) = 0.05 mole Pb(NO3)2 Start with the least soluble compound (PbOx), You have 0.075 mole Ox2- and 0.50 mole of Pb2+, so all of the Pb2+ will react to make 0,50 mole of PbOx and leave 0.025 mole of Ox2- in solution. The remaining 0.025 mole of Ox2- will react with the 0.03 mole Mg(NO3)2 leaving 0.005 mole of Mg2+ in solution and no Ox2-. The [Mg2+] = (0.005 mol)(0.100 L) = 0.05 M Mg2+. [Mg2+] [Ox2-] = [0.05 M] [Ox2-] = 8.6x10-5 [Ox2-] = 1.72x10-3 M [Pb2+] [Ox2-] = [Pb2+] [1.72x10-3 M] = 4.8x10-10 [Pb2+] = 2.79x10-7 M

2- Ka2= 4.7x10-11 a) 0 mL x2/(1.5-x) = 4.3x10-7 x = 8.03x10-4M H+ pH = 3.095 b) 100 mL ½ way point so pH = 6.37 c) 150 mL - use H-H equation (0.6M)(0.150L) = .09mole NaOH and (1.5M)(0.080L) = 0.12mole H2CO3 pH = 6.37 + log(0.09/(0.12-0.09)) pH= 6.847 d) 200 mL first end point so pH = (pka1 + pka2)/2 –> pH = (6.37 + 10.33)/2 = 8.35 e) 300 mL 2nd midpoint so pH = pKa2 = 10.33 f) 365 mL - you are now 165 mL into the second region - use H-H equation (0.06M)(0.165L) = 0.099 mole NaOH and you still have 0.12 mole of acid (HCO3

-) pH = 10.33 + log(0.099/(0.12-0.099)) pH = 11.00 g) 400 mL - at final endpoint pKb = Kw/Ka2 = 1x10-14/4.7x10-11 = 2.13x10-4 also [CO3

2-] = 0.12 mole/ (0.480L total) = 0.25M CO32-

x2/(0.25 - x) = 2.13x10-4 –> x = 0.007297 M OH- pH = 11.86 h) 450 mL - this is 50 mL past the final endpoint

(0.050L)(0.60M) = 0.030 mole excess OH- in a total of 530 mL of solution. Therefore, [OH-] = 0.030 mole / 0.530 L = 0.0566 M OH- –> pH = 12.75

i) How much 0.8 M NaOH must be added to 80 mL of 1.5 M H2CO3 to make a buffer of pH = 10? The pH is in the 2nd region so you must add 200 mL to start this titration. Use H-H,

10 = 10.33 + log(x/(0.12-x)) –> x = 0.0382 mole NaOH 0.0382 mole NaOH = MV = (0.80M)(V) –> V = 0.0478 L or 47.8 mL, therefore, 200 mL NaOH to get to first endpoint + 47.8 mL = 247.8 mL of 0.80 M NaOH

CuS FeS

At this pH FeS is highly solubleand CuS is not very soluble.

4) What is the solubility of Ag2S in a saturated solution of H2S = 0.01 M at pH = 3?

Ag2S <---> 2 Ag+ + S2- Ksp = 6.0x10-50 H2S <---> 2 H+ + S2- Keq = 6.84x10-23

[H+]2 [S2-]/[H2S] = 6.84x10-23

[S2-] = 6.84x10-23 [H2S]/[H+]2 = 6.84x10-23 [0.01]/[1x10-3]2 = 6.84x10-19 M S2-

Substitute this result into the following equation,

[Ag+]2 [S2-] = 6x10-50 [Ag+]2 = 6x10-50/[S2-] = 6x10-50/[6.84x10-19] = 8.77x10-32

taking the square root of this answer to find [Ag+], [Ag+] = 2.96x10-16 M Ag+ 5a) Iron can be separated from copper using pH controlled solubility in H2S. CuS is not soluble in acid solutions and FeS is soluble. Draw and approximate ion separation curve for CuS and FeS. 5b) Define amphoterism and give an example.

Amphoterism is the ability of an ion to be soluble in either an acid or a base but not in between. This property is commonly exhibited with transition metals like Zinc,

Zn(OH)2(s) –> Zn2+ + 2 OH- soluble in acid Zn(OH)2(s) + 2 OH- –> Zn(OH)4

2- soluble in base
