(b) Calculate the molar concentration of \(P b^{2+}\) if 0.00450 g of \(\mathrm{Na}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\) was needed for the complete precipitation of \(P b^{2+}\) ions as \(\mathrm{PbSO}_{4}\).

Hydrochloric acid is not an oxidizing agent in the sense that sulfuric acid and nitric acid are. Explain why the chloride ion is not a strong oxidizing agent like \(\mathrm{SO}_{4}^{2-}\) and \(\mathrm{NO}_{3}^{-}\)

Explain how you would prepare potassium iodide (KI) by means of (a) an acid–base reaction and (b) a reaction between an acid and a carbonate compound.

Sodium reacts with water to yield hydrogen gas. Why is this reaction not used in the laboratory preparation of hydrogen?

Chlorine forms a number of oxides with the following oxidation numbers: +1, +3, +4, +6. and +7. Write a formula for each of these compounds.

A useful application of oxalic acid is the removal of rust (\(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}\)) from, say, bathtub rings according to the reaction \(\mathrm{Fe}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{3}(\mathrm{~S})+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}(\mathrm{aq}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{Fe}\left(\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right)_{3}^{3-}(\mathrm{aq})+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+6 \mathrm{H}^{+}(\mathrm{aq})\) Calculate the number of grams of rust that can be removed by \(5.00 \times 10^{2}\) mL of a 0.100 M solution of oxalic acid.

Acetylsalicylic acid (\(\mathrm{C}_{9} \mathrm{H}_{8} \mathrm{O}_{4}\)) is a monoprotic acid commonly known as “aspirin.” A typical aspirin tablet, however, contains only a small amount of the acid. In an experiment to determine its composition, an aspirin tablet was crushed and dissolved in water. It took 12.25 mL of 0.1466 M NaOH to neutralize the solution. Calculate the number of grains of aspirin in the tablet. (One grain = 0.0648 g.)

A NaoH is initially mixed with an acid solution shown in (a). Which of the diagrams shown in (b) - (d) corresponds to one of the following acids: HCl, \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{SO}_{4}\), \(\mathrm{H}_{3} \mathrm{PO}_{4}\)? Color codes: Blue spheres (\(\mathrm{OH}^{-}\) ions); red spheres (acid molecules); green spheres (anions of the acids). Assume all the acid-base neutralization reactions go to completion.

A 0.8870-g sample of a mixture of NaCl and KCl is dissolved in water, and the solution is then treated with an excess of \(\mathrm{AgNO}_{3}\) to yield 1.913 g of AgCl. Calculate the percent by mass of each compound in the mixture.

Based on oxidation number consideration, explain why carbon monoxide (CO) is flammable but carbon dioxide (\(\mathrm{CO}_{2}\)) is not.

Which of the diagrams shown here corresponds to the reaction between AgOH(s) and \(\mathrm{HNO}_3(a q)\) ? Write a balanced equation for the reaction. The green spheres represent the \(\mathrm{Ag}^{+}\) and the red spheres represent the \(\mathrm{NO}_3^{-}\) ions.

Muriatic acid, a commercial-grade hydrochloric acid used for cleaning masonry surfaces, is typically around 10 percent HCl by mass and has a density of 1.2 g/\(\mathrm{cm}^{3}\). A 0.5-in layer of boiler scale has accumulated on a 6.0-ft section of hot water pipe with an internal diameter of 2.0 in (see the Chemistry in Action on p. 126). What is the minimum volume of muriatic acid in gallons that would be needed to remove the boiler scale?
