One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titralny chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 250. mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with nickel(II) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: NiCl₂(aq) + 2 AgNO3(aq) → 2 AgCl(s) + Ni(NO3)₂(aq) soft O The chemist adds 78.0 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 3.1 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of nickel(II) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. 0 mg L 5 +

Many over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting the stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a “burp”). Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this process.
Using the general solubility rules discussed in Chapter 7, give the formulas of live substances that would be expected to be readily soluble in water and five substances that would be expected to not be very soluble in water. For each of the substances you choose, indicate the specific solubility rule you applied to make your prediction.
The procedures and principles of qualitative analysis are coy cred in many introductory chemistry laboratory courses. In qualitative analysis, students learn to analyze mixtures of the common positive and negative ions, separating and confirming the presence of the particular ions in the mixture. One of the first steps in such an analysis is to treat the mixture with hydrochloric acid, which precipitates and removes silver ion, lead(II) ion, and mercury(I) ion from the aqueous mixture as the insoluble chloride salts. Write balanced net ionic equations for the precipitation reactions of these three cations with chloride ion.
A student weighs out a 4.80-g sample of aluminum bromide, transfers it to a 100-mL volumetric flask, adds enough water to dissolve it, and then adds water to the 100-mL mark. What is the molarity of aluminum bromide in the resulting solution?
On the basis of the general solubility rules given in Table 6-1, predict which of the following substances are likely to be soluble in water. a. aluminum nitrate b. magnesium chloride c. rubidium sulfate d. nickel(II) hydroxide e. lead(II) sulfide f. magnesium hydroxide g. iron(III) phosphate
Many over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as die active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting die stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a burp). Write die balanced chemical equation for this process.
A common experiment to determine the relative reactivity of metallic elements is to place a pure sample of one metal into an aqueous solution of a compound of another metallic element. If the pure metal you are adding is more reactive than the metallic element in the compound, then the pure metal willreplacethe metallic element in the compound. For example. if you place a piece of pure zinc metal into a solution of copper(II) sulfate, the zinc will slowly dissolve to produce zinc sulfate solution, and the copper(II) ion of the copper(II) sulfate will be converted to metallic copper. Write the unbalanced equation for this process.
A student was given a 1.6240-g sample of a mixture of sodium nitrate and sodium chloride and was asked to find the percentage of each compound in the mixture. She dissolved the sample and added a solution that contained an excess of silver nitrate. The silver ion precipitated all of the chloride ion in the mixture as silver chloride. It was filtered, dried, and weighed. Its mass was 2.056g. What was the percentage of each compound in the mixture?
