Question

In your lab last week, you added concentrated NH,OH to the anhydrous CuSO, according to the following equation: If you started with a target weight that I assigned of 0.9000 grams of the copper sulfate, how many ml of 10.5 M ammonium hydroxide would you need to fully react to produce the maximum blue color complex? b. In your experiment, why was the concentrated ammonium hydroxide in sucha HUGE excess? (8 pts) 3.

Explanation / Answer

2.

(a)

Balanced equation,

CuSO4 (aq.) + 4 NH4OH (aq.) --------> [Cu(NH3)4]2+ + 4 H2O + SO42-

Mass of CuSO4 = 0.9000 g.

Molar mass of CuSO4 = 159.5 g/mol

Moles of CuSO4 = mass / molar mass = 0.9000 / 159.5 = 0.005643 mol

From the balanced equation,

1 mol of CuSO4 needs 4 mol of NH4OH

Then,

0.005643 mol of CuSO4 needs 4 * 0.005643 = 0.02257 mol of NH4OH

Therefore,

Volume of NH4OH needed = mole / molarity = 0.02257 / 10.5 = 0.002150 L = 2.150 mL

3.

(a)

159.0 + 16.54 + 213. = 388.

(b)

1.29 + (6.456 * 7.7754) = 1.29 + 50.20 = 51.49

(c)

[38.14 + 24.1] / [57.1 - 24.6] = 62.2 / 32.5 = 1.91

(d)

[ 36.2 +/- 0.8 - 31.8 +/- 0.2] * 2.96 +/- 0.09 = 4.4 +/-1.0 * 2.96 +/-0.09 = 13. +/- 1.1

(e)

52.19 +/- 0.18 * 29.99 +/- 0.12 = 1565. +/- 0.30
