Solution Stoichiometry and Chemical Analysis (Section)
An 8.65-g sample of an unknown group 2A metal hydroxide is dissolved in 85.0 ml of water. An acid-base indicator is added and the resulting solution is titrated with 2.50 M HCI(ag) solution. The indicator changes color signaling that the equivalence point has been reached after 56.9 ml of the hydrochloric acid solution has been added (a) What is the molar mass of the metal hydroxide? (b) What is the identity of the metal cation: Ca2+, Sr2+, Ba2+?
Chem 107Chapter 1, Measuring Matter and Energy What is Chemistry 1. Chemistry is the study of matter: a. Matter is anything that has mass and takes up space (volume). b. Energy has no mass and takes up no space. i. The ability of something to cause change or to do work. c. A substance (or chemical) is a particular “type” of matter i. A material that has a definite composition, structure, and properties. d. Creation of matter (Genesis 1:1). e. Creation of [luminous] energy (Genesis 1:3). f. Chemistry is not rocket science. Matter and Energy 1. Matter is anything that has mass and occupies volume. 2. Matter exists in three phys
