A 49.96 mL sample containing La³⁺ was treated with sodium oxalate to precipitate La₂(C₂O₄)₃, which was washed, dissolved in acid, and titrated with 18.04 mL of 0.006363 MKMnO₄. Calculate the molarity of La³⁺ in the unknown.
(Hint: the reaction involved in the titration was: permanganate ion(s) + oxalate (ions) -----> manganese(II) ions + carbon dioxide. The reaction occurred in acidic aqueous solution)

Expert Solution

Reaction,

2MnO4- + 5C2O4^2- + 16H+ ---> 2Mn2+ + 10CO2 + 8H2O

moles of KMnO4 used = 0.006363 M x 18.04 ml

= 0.1148 mmol

moles of C2O4^2- reacted = 0.1148 x 5/2

= 0.287 mmol

moles of La3+ present = 0.287 x 2/3

= 0.1913 mmol

molarity of La3+ in the unknown = 0.1913/49.96

= 0.00383 M

A 50.0 mL sample containing Cd2 and Mn2 was treated with 40.4 mL of 0.0500 M EDTA. Titration of the excess unreacted EDTA required 19.2 mL of 0.0300 M Ca2 . The Cd2 was displaced from EDTA by the addition of an excess of CN–. Titration of the newly freed EDTA required 18.2 mL of 0.0300 M Ca2 . What were the molarities of Cd2 and Mn2 in the original solution?

A solution containing a mixture of metal cations was treated with dilute HCl and a precipitate formed. The solution was filtered and H2S was bubbled through the acidic solution. A precipitate again formed and was filtered off. Then, the pH was raised to about 8 and H2S was again bubbled through the solution. This time, no precipitate formed. Finally, the solution was treated with a sodium carbonate solution, which resulted in formation of a precipitate. Which metal ions were definitely...
