Marathon Problem
From the summer work
e) The tough part here is it skipped what would have been a helpful step. Use some of what you do in (c) or start over with the 8.76 grams of water to get grams of H.
Now, using the CO2 produced solve for the grams of C in original liquid.
Once you know grams of H and C, the only element left is O

f) This is an interesting situation regarding the empirical formula. As you work through it you'll get 1.5 carbons. The empirical formula is the lowest whole number ratio so we need to keep the pattern of C1.5H3O but make them whole numbers. To get 1.5 to a whole number we multiply by 2 and apply that to the entire pattern.

i) The heat that came out of the unknown went into water. It is that last sentence of the intro. paragraph. Focus on that water and use the q=mc(delta)T equation.

j) Heat of combustion is the energy / mol. In this case kJ of heat / mol of unknown burned. Take the heat from part i and make it negative (this indicates it released heat). Then, divide by the moles of unknown.

k) If you try to draw a Lewis structure from the molecular formula and you stick to organic molecules you can draw a Carboxylic Acid and an Ester.

l) Esters are known to have a property mentioned in the intro. paragraph.

***From here on is not summer work***

Page 219 (& notes page 30)
Notes page 30 is just like the prior example on the bottom of page 29, use table 8.4
#5a) the MgSO4 is dissolving into water (so, just split up the ions)

Hint Level 2 then add temp. change to initial temp
#7c) turn grams into moles, then divide the energy from b by the moles

#3a) Hint Level 1 use Hess law and the three reactions
Hint Level 2 the third reaction will need to be flipped and divided by 3
Hint Level 3 the second reaction will need to be flipped and divided by 6, and the first reaction divided by 2

Hint Level 4 solve for the mass • specific heat for the aluminum oxide, then for the Iron, then add them and continue with q=mcdeltaT
Hint Level 5 use molar mass for the mass of aluminum oxide and for Iron
Hint Level 6 because the q is relative to the reaction you will need to double the mass of of Iron (like it is in the reaction)
Hint Level 7 the q is in kJ but the specific heats are in J so I recommend converting the specific heats into kJ

Chapter 11 Worksheet #1
#1d) figure out which reactant is limiting then do a stoichiometry calculation to find the Molarity of C produced (note, you can use Molarity while doing the stoichiometry because the volume isn't changing)
#2c) Hint Level 1 your rate law in #2a should be 1st order based on chemical Y, so use the 1st order equation and the amount of chemical Y
Hint Level 2 the starting amount of Y is .60M and the ending amount of Y is the amount left after .20M Z is produced.
Hint Level 3 if .20M Z is produced then .20M Y must have reacted, so the ending amount of Y is .60M - .20M = .40M

Chapter 10 WS #2
#2b) Hint Level 1 for this one use the mole fraction of the solvent, not the one you used in 2a
Hint Level 2 don't forget that you need to multiply the moles of solute by its i value in the mole fraction of the solvent
#3) avogadro's number should be used at some point

#1969b) convert Kp into Kc then use the Molarities in the Kc expression
#1981a) Hint Level 1 notice the reaction has solid reactant and the two gas products are 1 to 1, based on this the total pressure must be from the two gas products only
Hint Level 2 because the gases are made at the same rate there pressure must be equal
#1981b) use 2x and x to represent the pressure of each gas
#1981c) Hint Level 1 based on 1981a each gas pressure will go down until it becomes .3295 atm, use this to figure out how much each gas has reacted
Hint Level 2 once you know the change in pressure of each gas (-.1705atm) you can solve for moles of each gas that reacted (use one of our old equation friends)

#2) show FeCl3 dissolving in water, then add water (double the ligands), then show how it is acidic
#5a) add water to the methylamine
#5b) do an ICE chart with "x" as the hydroxide, solve for "x," then convert to pH
#7) get total moles of H+, then new molarity of H+, then pH
#8) Hint Level 1 figure out who wins between H+ and OH- (careful with calcium hydroxide)
Hint Level 2 get moles of which is left over (OH- in this case)
Hint Level 3 then molarity, then convert to pH
#9) BIG hint turn Ka into Kb because CN- is basic
Hint Level 1 get molarity of CN-
Hint Level 2 do an ICE chart with "x" as hydroxide
Hint Level 3 then convert to pH
#10) Hint Level 1 get moles of hydroxide
Hint Level 2 because it is a titration, moles acid = moles base (so now you know the moles H+)
Hint Level 3 grams over moles (no units because "molecular mass")

Worksheet #2
#2a) remember "mol acid = mol base" at the endpoint of titration
#2b) Hint Level 0 "ionization constant" means Ka of the acid
Hint Level 1 undo the pH into hydrogen ion molarity
Hint Level 2 get moles of OH- that reacted which is also moles of A- that was made
Hint Level 3 subtract moles of OH- from moles of HA in #1a to get moles of HA left at this point
Hint Level 4 turn moles of HA and A- into molarity
Hint Level 5 use the concentrations to solve for Ka
#2c) "base dissociation constant" means Kb. Remember there is a relationship between the Ka of a weak acid and the Kb of its conjugate base.
#2d) Hint Level 1 you know the moles of hydroxide that reacted in #1a, that will be equal to the moles of A- that was made
Hint Level 2 turn the moles of A- into molarity, then solve for OH-, etc.

Worksheet #3
#1b-e) be sure to account for the double hydroxides
#1d) don't forget to switch Ka into Kb
#2a) Nitrate is a spectator ion, so it is just the weak acid NH4(+)
#2g) Hint Level 1 make a data table of KOH added and pH to get started
Hint Level 2 your data table should be able to generate 5 points on the graph
Hint Level 3 even though the 5 points look like a smooth curve you should make a pH "jump" at the endpoint

Page 397 & 377 & 399
#9) need to lookup the Ka of lactic acid in book, page 382
#13) need to lookup the Ka of the acid HNO2 in the book, chapter 13 or appendix 1
#19a) need to lookup the Ka of the acid HC2H3O2 in the book, chapter 13 or appendix 1
#19b) the molarities both go down, but in the same proportion so the pH stays the same
#25a) need to lookup the Ka of the acid H2PO4(-1) in the book, chapter 13 or appendix 1
#25b) addition of H+ will consume weak base HPO4(-2) and produce weak acid H2PO4(-1)
#25c) addition of OH- will consume weak acid H2PO4(-1) and produce weak base HPO4(-2)
#31) Hint Level 1 if there is weak acid (HF) and its conjugate weak base (F-) it is a buffer
Hint Level 2 the important part of the starting chemical (SnF2) is that it gives off the weak base F-
Hint Level 3 the starting amount of F- is .0750 mol
page 377
#77) there are two ways to approach this, one is to calculate the Ka of each figure, the other is to look at the ratio of "split" species versus "joined" species
page 399
#55b) pKa = pH at the 1/2 way point of the titration, which is about a pH of 3.3

Worksheet #4
#1a) not a buffer, just the weak acetic acid
#1b) it is a buffer now
#1c) too much HCl was added, using up all of the weak base acetate. You need to figure out how much "extra" HCl was present after all the acetate is gone. H+ is based on that "extra" HCl.
#2a) Hint Level 1 this is not a buffer problem
Hint Level 2 the reaction is CO3(-2) + 2H+ --> CO2 + H2O
Hint Level 3 use PV=nRT to get moles of CO2, which equal moles of CO3(-2), which equal moles of K2CO3
Hint Level 4 percent problem using grams of K2CO3 and total grams of the dry mixture
#2b) Take a deep breath for this one. The HCl reacted with two of the solids, K2CO3 (making the CO2 as discussed in #2a) and KOH (a neutralization reaction). We need to find how much HCl was excess (didn't react) to find how much HCl did react with K2CO3 and KOH, then find how much HCl reacted with just the KOH which tells us how much KOH was present in the dry mixture.
Hint Level 1 get moles of OH- because it is the moles of excess HCl (answer is .130 mol)
Hint Level 2 subtract the excess HCl from the original amount given to get HCl that reacted (answer is .070 mol)
Hint Level 3 subtract the HCl that reacted with K2CO3 from the total HCl that reacted, to get HCl that reacted with KOH (answer is .050 mol), this equals the amount of KOH (.050 mol)
Hint Level 4 turn the moles of KOH into grams and solve for percent KOH, then solve for percent KCl (the only thing left)
#3a) not a buffer, just the weak acid (HOCl)
#3b) it is a buffer now
#3c) it's a trick, if the amount of HOCl made is .0040 M then the amount of HCl must also be .0040 M. pH is based on the HCl (the HOCl is weak and insignificant)
#4) Here we have the weak base OCl- being titrated with the strong acid HCl.
Before the titration it is just OCl- in water. During the titration it consumes OCl- and makes the weak acid HOCl.
At the endpoint the OCl- is gone and we have HOCl in water.

Ch 13/14 Practice Test
#1) consider the lab "molar mass of unknown acid"
#3) start with the [H+] of pure water and add the additional [H+] from the acid, then calc. pH
#4) each K represents each H+ coming off of the diprotic acid, and the overall reaction is the result of adding the individual reactions so combine the K values accordingly
#5a) just the weak acid
#5b) a buffer
#5c) still a buffer, but the addition of HCl has effected it
#6a) N•L = N•L
#6b) at equivalence point mol acid = mol base, then divide by the new volume
#6c) be sure to switch Ka into Kb
#7a) get mol of base, then mol base = mol acid, then molecular mass
#7b) get mol of NaOH which equals mol acid reacted, then subtract mol acid reacted from mol acid at start
#7c) undo the pH
#7d) using the pH=5.65 situation get Molarity of H+, A-, and HA then plug them into Ka expression
#8) NBA chart
#9a) old molarity stuff
#9b) dilution equation
#9c) get mol of HgO, then mol of OH- is double that, then mol acid = mol base, then molarity of HCl
#10a) pH converted to OH-
#10b) weak acid molarity will be the same as the OH-, and weak base molarity hasn't significantly changed, then plug into Kb expression

#11) Hint Level 1 Separate the oxidizing agents from the reducing agents to help organize
Hint Level 2 Cr+3 and Sn+2 can be both agents
Hint Level 3 Cr+3 can be reduced to either Cr+2 or Cr(s). It doesn't matter which you choose, we get the same ranking
Hint Level 4 The Cr+3 being oxidized is tough to find. It's lower on the chart and involves Cr2O7-2
Hint Level 5 The reducting agents (in no particular order) are Cr+3 and Hg and H2 and Sn+2 because they can be oxidized
The oxidizing agents (in no particular order) are Cr+3 and Sn+2 and Br2 because they can be reduced
#15c) Hint Level 1 It says "voltaic" so the final answer must be +
Hint Level 2 As the question is written both half equations as oxidation, so one of them must be flipped
#17All of them) Book doesn't say "voltaic" but it should so all answers must be +
#17c) Hint Level 1 There are two half equations in the chart with Iron(II) Hydroxide, you must choose the correct one
Hint Level 2 Remember you must have reduction and oxidation
Hint Level 3 Iron(II) Hydroxide must be a reactant in of the half equations, Oxygen must be a reactant in the other half equation
Hint Level 4 The 1st of the Iron(II) Hydroxide equations will not work, so you have to use the 3rd one down in the list
#19All of them) Again the book doesn't say "voltaic" but it should so all answers must be +
#72) Think about the electrolysis of water lab

Hint Level 3 use the overall reaction to go from 10,000 g Al to mol O2
#59a) Hint Level 1 turn time into seconds (it will be 8700 seconds) then solve for Coulombs (it will be 17400 C)

Hint Level 3 the half reaction is e- + Ag+(aq) --> Ag(s)
Hint Level 4 turn the Coulombs into gram of Ag
#59b) (This is a wierd units question) d = m/v so m = v • d, and if you break apart the volume unit (cm cubed) into two pieces you get m = (cm squared times cm) • d. Plug in the grams and cm squared and density, then solve for cm.
#63) Hint Level 1 turn time into seconds then solve for Coulombs then solve for mol e-

Chapter 19 - 22
Page 605, 421, 548, 572
page 572 #23c) ammonia in water is always in equilibrium with ammonium hydroxide (which in water is NH4+1 and OH-) so in this case the addition to Al+3 would first react Al+3 with hydroxide to create the precipitate Aluminum Hydroxide. Then further addition would cause the ammonia to push out the hydroxide and create the complex ion.

525, 572, 548
page 525 #33a) look in the chapter for an example
#33b) you can solve this like the example in the book or use E=mc(2), if you use E=mc(2) put the mass defect in kilograms, and your answer comes out in Joules.
