A solution contains potassium iodide and potassium chloride. It was analysed by performing a precipitation titration using silver nitrate. The titration curve for this reaction is shown, where  .
 

Why is this a valid and correct procedure for quantifying the amount of each anion present in the mixture?

  1. would precipitate out first, followed by .
  2. would precipitate out first, followed by .
  3. Both and precipitate out of the solution together.
  4. Neither nor would precipitate out of the solution.

→ This procedure is only correct and valid if the ions precipitated out at different times.

→ Therefore would precipitate out first as it is less soluble than .

A water sample contains at least one of the following anions at concentrations of 1.0 mol L.

    • bromide
    • carbonate

Outline a sequence of tests that could be performed in a school laboratory to confirm the identity of the anion or anions present. Include expected observations and TWO balanced chemical equations in your answer.   (4 marks)

Test 1: Add aqueous nitric acid

→ Bubbles indicate carbonate present. Acid removes carbonate for further testing of sample

Test 2: Add silver nitrate solution

→ Creamy precipitate indicates bromide present

 
Answer could include:

→ Add excess silver nitrate solution – precipitate produced

→ Add dilute nitric acid to the precipitate

    • If bubbles are formed and a brown precipitate dissolves then carbonate was present
    • If a creamy precipitate remains then bromide was present

A common antacid tablet contains aluminium hydroxide to neutralise stomach acid. In order for the antacid to be effective, each 500 mg tablet must contain a minimum of 200 mg of aluminium hydroxide.

Two antacid tablets were crushed and reacted with 70 mL of 0.60 mol L¯ 1 hydrochloric acid. After the antacid had reacted with the acid, the remaining hydrochloric acid was titrated against 0.60 mol L¯ 1 sodium hydroxide. The average volume of sodium hydroxide used was 35 mL.

Calculate the amount of aluminium hydroxide present in each tablet and justify whether the tablets will be effective as an antacid.   (4 marks)

A water sample was analysed to determine the chloride ion content. 100.0 mL of this water was added to 25.00 mL of 0.100 mol L¯1 .

The mixture was filtered and the filtrate was titrated against 0.0500 mol L¯1 according to the following reaction.

The titration was repeated three times and the average titre was 28.65 mL.

Calculate the concentration of chloride ions in the water, expressed in mg L¯1.   (4 marks)
