Give the correct balanced chemical reaction and equilibrium expression for when the acid
C6H4(OH)CO2H is added to pure water. Only consider the dissociation of the first proton.
11 (12 points). Determine the solubility (reported in moles/L) of Ag4Fe(CN)6(s) in pure water if Ksp
= 8.5x10-45 and:
4
Ag 4 Fe(CN)6(s)
4Ag (aq) Fe(CN)6(aq)

12 (12 points). Calculate the following and report the answer with the absolute uncertainty (use the
correct number of significant figures for full credit). Uncertainties given below are
absolute.

13 (12 points). What is [SCN-(aq)] if we saturate a solution of 3.56x10-3M Hg2+ with Hg(SCN)2(s)?
Ksp = 2.8x10-20

14 (16 points). In a Kjeldahl titration, organic nitrogen is digested in sulfuric acid to convert all
organic N into NH4+. The NH4+ is then converted into ammonia gas (NH3(g)) and the
ammonia gas is bubbled into a known volume of HCl with a known molarity.
NH 3(g) H (aq) NH 4(aq)
Any left over H+(aq) is then back titrated to the equivalence point by a known
concentration of OH-(aq).
OH-(aq) H (aq) H 2 O(l)
The Kjeldahl procedure was used to analyze a sample containing 9.70 mg of protein.
The liberated NH3 was collected in 5.00mL of 0.0336M HCl. The remaining acid
required 6.34mL of 0.010 M NaOH for complete titration. What is the weight percent
of nitrogen in the protein? (the molecular weight of nitrogen is 14.01 g/mole)
