AI Thread Summary
To determine the mass percentage of arsenic in the pesticide, first calculate the moles of Ag+ used in the titration, which is derived from the volume and concentration of the Ag+ solution. The stoichiometry of the reaction indicates that three moles of Ag+ react with one mole of AsO43-, allowing for the conversion of moles of Ag+ to moles of arsenate. Next, find the moles of arsenic by using the molar ratio between arsenate and arsenic. Finally, calculate the mass percentage of arsenic in the original sample based on the total mass of the pesticide. This process will yield the required mass percentage of arsenic in the pesticide sample.

Homework Statement



The arsenic in a 1.42 g sample of pesticide was converted to AsO43- by suitable chemical treatment. It was then titrated using Ag+ to form Ag3AsO4 as a precipitate. If it took 33.7 mL of 0.113 M Ag+ to reach the equivalence point in this titration, what is the mass percentage of arsenic in the pesticide?

im not sure

The Attempt at a Solution



I just need a way to get the ball rolling, this is a questions for my AP Chemistry summer review and i haven't taken chemistry since sophomore year (im going to be a senior when school starts in two days) and i forgot the equations i need to solve this kind of stuff.

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...
