SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving three specific chemistry problems involving titration, solubility product constant (Ksp), and precipitation reactions. The first problem requires calculating the pH after titrating 5.61 mL of 0.49M Pyridine with 0.20M HCl, specifically after adding 2.86 mL of HCl. The second problem involves determining the Ksp for M2X3 given its solubility at 298K. The third problem calculates the percentage of bromide ions in a mixture of NaBr and NaCl when treated with AgNO3, using Ksp values for AgCl and AgBr.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of acid-base titration and pH calculations
  • Knowledge of solubility product constant (Ksp) and its application
  • Familiarity with precipitation reactions and stoichiometry
  • Proficiency in using equilibrium expressions for weak bases and acids
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for pH calculations in titrations
  • Learn about calculating Ksp from solubility data for ionic compounds
  • Research the common ion effect and its impact on solubility
  • Explore the concept of limiting reagents in precipitation reactions
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and professionals seeking to enhance their understanding of acid-base equilibria, solubility principles, and precipitation reactions in analytical chemistry.

Homework Statement



I need Help Please! Chemistry gurus please help!?
1) 5.61 mL of 0.49M Pyridine, C5H5N, are titrated with 0.20 M HCl. What is the pH of the solution 2.86 mL after the equivalent point?
Kb (C5H5N)=1.8x10-9
Report the pH to 2 decimal places

2) The solubility of M2X3 (as M3+ and X2-) in water at 298K is 6.03 x 10(-3) M. Calculate Ksp for M2X3.

3) A 0.166 M NaBr and 0.048 M NaCl mixture is going to be treated with AgNO3. Calculate the % of bromide ion present when the choride starts to precipitate. Ksp (AgCl) = 1.8x10-10; (AgBr) = 5.0x10-13
Report your answer to two significant figures.

I tried and cannot get the correct answers...please help!

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



For 1) I got Ka from Kb by using 1.0E-14 and then I found out how much HCL was needed to reach the equivalence point and got
.2635 L by mult. and using Pyridine. but IDK how to get the HCL needed after addidtion of 2.86 ml. I used the same format as getting H3O and dividing it by total volume with 2.86 ml added and got 4.87 PH which is wrong!

For2) K_sp = [M3+]^2*[X2-]^3

ow Molarity of M3+ = 6.03 x 10(-3) M2X3*(2 mol M3+/1 mol M2X3) = 6.14E-13 mol = Molarity

IDK where to go after this

I tried solubility laws but I keep getting the wrong answer!

Show how you got the wrong answer.
 


I updated my attempt there.

First - the only role pyridine plays is it consumes HCl before endpoint. Final pH is a function of excess HCl only.

Second - what are concentrations of M3+ and X2- if each liter of solution contains 6.03x10-3 moles of M2X3?
