An unknown solid is entirely soluble in water. On addition of dilute HCl, a precipitate forms. After the precipitate is filtered off, the pH is adjusted to about 1 and H2S is bubbled in; a precipitate again forms. After filtering off this precipitate, the pH is adjusted to 8 and H2S is again added; no precipitate forms. No precipitate forms upon addition of (NH4)2HPO4. The remaining solution shows a yellow color in a flame test. which might be present, might be absent, definitely absent?

Expert Solution

It can be seen that cation which can precipiate in chloride as a group I cation and also as group II cation at pH 1 [acidic pH] with H2S is only Pb^2+

Pb^2+ cannot form precipiate in basic conditios [pH 8]

since calcium and sodium give yellow-red and yellow color fmales, they might be present along with Pb^2+ cation, but all other cations [in the baove table] are definitely absent

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...

Compound A is a water-soluble solid at room temperature with a molecular weight of 138.12 amu. Describe one (or more) experiment(s) that you would perform in lab to determine if Compound A is a strong acid, weak acid, strong base, weak base, or none of these in water. State what you would do, what you would measure, and how you would decide the nature of Compound A in water?

When a solution of potassium iodide is mixed with a solution of lead nitrate, a bright yellow solid precipitate forms.

When a solution of potassium iodide is mixed with a solution of lead nitrate, a bright yellow solid precipitate forms. Calculate the mass of the solid produced (molar mass = 461 g/mol) when starting with a solution containing 141.00 g of potassium iodide (molar mass = 166 g/mol), assuming that the reaction goes to completion. Give your answer to three significant figures. 2KI (aq) + Pb(NO3)2 (aq) → PbI2 (s) + 2KNO3 (l)

You have a 1.153 g sample of an unknown solid acid, HA, dissolved in enough water to make 20.00 mL of solution. HA reacts with KOH(aq) according to the following balanced chemical equation: HA(aq)+KOH(aq)--->KA(aq)+H2O(l) if 13.40 mL of 0.715 M KOH is required to titrate the unknown acid to the equivalence point, what is the concentration of the unknown acid? ALSO What is the molar mass of HA?
