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+.
* 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.
