Tammy applies the skills learned from the titration of vinegar exercise to the determination of the concentration of phosphoric acid necessary for her biology project. A total volume of 8.22 mL of 0.125 M potassium hydroxide solution was required to completely neutralize 14.32 mL of phosphoric acid (three acidic hydrogens). Calculate the concentration of her phosphoric acid solution.
- 0.0718 M
- 0.144 M
- 0.215 M
- 0.0239 M
- 0.645 M
- One grOup of students forgot to account for the vapor pressure of water when analyzing their data. How would this error affect their mass percent concentration?
- The mass percent is too high because the pressure they used is too low
- The mass percent is too low because the pressure they used is too low
- The mass percent is too high because the pressure they used is too high
- The mass percent is too low because the pressure they used is too high
- Vapor pressure does not affect the calculation
- Students who have lab in room 205 had to use ~ 4 mL of 3% H2O2 in order to get a volume of 45 mL of gas, while students in room 212 had to use ~6 mL. Why did the students in 212 need to use more hydrogen peroxide?
- The temperature in 212 is much colder than 205.
- Hydrogen peroxide decomposes slowly over time. The bottle in 205 must be older.
- The pressure in 205 is lower than 212 because of the air conditioning unit.
- The stockroom wasn't precise when diluting the 30% H2O2 to 3% solution.
- Hydrogen peroxide decomposes slowly over time. The bottle in 205 must be newer.
