One of the most popular methods for determine trace amounts of water is a coulometric titration, called the Karl Fischer. Measuring trace amounts of water is one of the most challenging analytical methods.

a) What would be another method that would measure larger amounts of water contained in a sample, and how would you do it?

b) The Karl Fischer method is a secondary coulometric analysis that utilizies the generation of I2/I3 with starch, just like you did in lab, generated from the Iodide ion. This iodine molecular species then reacts with water in a complicated Redox, involving stinky pyridine....hense, the advantage of doing this by remote control under a hood. The actual limiting reagent is WATER: One mole of water reacts with one mole of generated I3.

The goal of your problem is to find the ppm of water in a 250 mL sample of pure ethanol, that has a density of 0.7893 g/mL. A current of 55.5 milliamps was run for 4 minutes 23 seconds, until the blue/black color of the starch was observed. However, the current generator box was only 89.3 % current efficient, losing some current. The electrochemical production of the tri-iodide ion reagent was the same oxidation reaction as in lab. What is the ppm of WATER contamination the 250 mL of pure ethanol?

Questions asked after completing quantitative volumetric analysis of pickling vinegar & NaOH (regular vinegar consists 5% acetic acid, CH3COOH. Piclking vinegar consists 7% of the acid).

1. Is there a trend in the values obtained in class? (there was a trend) Explain.

2. If regular vinegar costs $1.00/L & pickling vinegar costs $1.25/L, which is the best by? (i.e use a logical argument to determine which gives you the most acetic acid for your dollar)

3. Why do we only include the trials that agree withing 1% of each other? What is the difference between accuracy & precision for a series of measurements?

4. Identify 4 important sources of systematic (not human) error. Discuss why they are important.

5. If 0.25M potassium hydroxide solution was used as the titrant, instead of 0.1 M NaOH (aq), would your titration have use dmore or less itrant to reach the end point? Use a logical argument to determine how much more or less titrant would be required.

Given the following reactions of nitrosyl chloride (NOCl), calculate the ∆H°rxn, in kilojoules per mole, for the third reaction. Enter your answer to the tenths place. Don’t forget the sign! 2NOCl(g) ⟶ 2NO(g) + Cl2 (g) ΔHrxn ° = +79.2 kJ mol ⁄

NOCl(g) + 1 2 O2 (g) ⟶ NO2Cl(g) ΔHrxn ° = -39.1 kJ mol ⁄

2NO(g) + Cl2 (g) + O2 (g) ⟶ 2NO2Cl(g)
