EXAM IV

CHM 336

Due 12-17 by 5:00pm.

This is not an open book exam, and you must complete this exam on your own!

1.         a. Describe what is meant by the leveling effect

            b. Write autoprotolysis constant expressions for the following liquids:

                    H2O 1 x 10-14
                    C2H5OH 8 x 10-20
                    H2SO4 1.4 x 10-4
                    CH3OH 2 x 10-17
                    NH3 1 x 10-33
                    H3COOH 6 x 10-7

            c. Calculate pCation for each of the above solvents.

2.        The accepted method for magnesium analysis is EDTA titration of water samples. In a well known stream study there is a problem with interference due
           to possible high levels of Cd2+ and Fe2+. Start by looking at titrating with EDTA, the controversy is over the level of interference when you are
           titrating Mg2+.

3.        The lightweight rechargeable battery issue is your next challenge.
                                                            Zn(s) l ZnCl2(aq) ll Cl-(aq) l Cl2(l) l C(s)

                                                                    * l refers to a boundary
                         Draw the cell that is described above.
                        Write an oxidation for the left half and a reduction for the right half.
                        Now calculate the standard cell potential.
                        Finally, if the battery delivers a constant current of 3.00 x 103A for 45minutes, how many kilograms of Cl2 will be consumed.

4.        Completely describe the pH electrode and the Ion Selective Electrode. Include electrode design, and method of analysis.

5.        Reproduce a diprotic strong base - weak acid titration using pK1 = 4.78 and pK2 = 9.97.

6.        You may use your book to describe either Voltammetry or Electrogravimetric and Coulometric Analysis. Do not re-write the chapter but be thorough and
            explain the principle of the experiment and uses.
