AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on solving three specific chemistry problems involving titration, solubility product calculations, and ion concentration in mixtures. For the titration of pyridine with HCl, the final pH after the equivalence point is determined by the excess HCl concentration. In the second problem, the Ksp for M2X3 is calculated using the molarity of its ions derived from its solubility. The third problem involves calculating the percentage of bromide ions present when chloride starts to precipitate, requiring accurate use of Ksp values for AgCl and AgBr. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding the roles of reactants and the correct application of solubility and equilibrium principles.

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?

TL;DR Summary: cannot find out error in solution proposed. [![question with rate laws][1]][1] Now the rate law for the reaction (i.e reaction rate) can be written as: $$ R= k[N_2O_5] $$ my main question is, WHAT is this reaction equal to? what I mean here is, whether $$k[N_2O_5]= -d[N_2O_5]/dt$$ or is it $$k[N_2O_5]= -1/2 \frac{d}{dt} [N_2O_5] $$ ? The latter seems to be more apt, as the reaction rate must be -1/2 (disappearance rate of N2O5), which adheres to the stoichiometry of the...
I don't get how to argue it. i can prove: evolution is the ability to adapt, whether it's progression or regression from some point of view, so if evolution is not constant then animal generations couldn`t stay alive for a big amount of time because when climate is changing this generations die. but they dont. so evolution is constant. but its not an argument, right? how to fing arguments when i only prove it.. analytically, i guess it called that (this is indirectly related to biology, im...
