Solution stoichiometry precipitation reactions

A similar observation was made in the ionic precipitation of lead(ll) iodide. When aqueous solutions of potassium iodide and sodium iodide were separately added to aqueous leadfll) nitrate, 12% of students believed that the ionic equation for the precipitation reactions was different in the two instances even though the stoichiometry of the two chemical reactions had no influence on the ionic equation. 

Tables of amounts are useful in stoichiometry calculations for precipitation reactions. For example, a precipitate of Fe (OH) forms when 50.0 mL of 1.50 M NaOH is mixed with 35.0 mL of 1.00 M FeCl3 solution. We need a balanced chemical equation and amounts in moles to calculate how much precipitate forms. The balanced chemical equation is the net reaction for formation of Fe (OH)3 Fe (ag) + 3 OH (a g) Fe (OH)3 (. )...

We could again apply the seven-step process in detail. Instead, we take a more compact approach. Begin by determining what species are present in the reaction mixture. Next, use the solubility guidelines to identify the precipitate. After writing the balanced net ionic reaction, use solution stoichiometry and a table of amounts to find the required quantities. 

For hydroxamic acids, it is generally assumed that it is the Af-hydroxyamide/keto form, as opposed to the hydroximic/hydroxyoxime form, that predominates in acid medium, the environment usually required for most precipitates or colors to form . It is in general unknown what is the stoichiometry and structure of most metal hydroxamate complexes in solution. Nevertheless, the reaction of the majority of hydroxamic acids with metal ions can be written schematically as shown in equation 2.

The data have been reconsidered by the review and the following observations were made, see also Appendix A. The solid selenium used in the experiments was obtained by reduction of a selenite solution by thiosulphate. The selenium might therefore not be in its standard state. The activity of the specimen is most likely elose enough to the standard state activity, however, since the precipitate was kept at boiling temperature for several hours. A recalculation of the side-reactions with more recent values of the auxiliary equilibrium constants made little difference to the result. The analytical data are not always consistent with the stoichiometry of Reaction (V.24) and the known initial composition of the test solution. The authors also observed this and held oxidation of iodide by initially present oxygen responsible for the discrepancies. Flowever, in some instanees the deviations from the expected concentrations are remarkably large. The deviations do not invalidate the results if equilibrium prevails, which was tested. 

Solute transport, adsorption, and precipitation reactions can make it difficult to reconstruct decomposition stoichiometries from pore-water profiles alone, particularly within the bioturbated zone. Because the general trends and limits on N/P and N/C stoichiometry are evident from the previous considerations no further modeling will be done here. An adequate explanation for the higher NH//HPO4 -concentration ratios in the deeper pore water at inshore relative to offshore stations (Fig. 14) requires decomposition experiments below 10 cm, together with direct examination of the solid phase for phosphate compounds and solute transport modeling. 

So far we have considered the stoichiometry of reactions in solution that result in the formation of a precipitate. Another common type of solution reaction occurs between an acid and a base. We introduced these reactions in Chapter 8. Recall from that discussion that an acid is a substance that furnishes H+ ions. A strong acid, such as hydrochloric acid, HCl, dissociates (ionizes) completely in water. 

We will now deal with the stoichiometry of acid-base reactions in aqueous solutions. The procedure is fundamentally the same as that used previously for precipitation reactions. 

Certain aqueous reactions are useful for determining how much of a particular substance is present in a sample. For example, if we want to know the concentration of lead in a sample of water, or if we need to know the concentration of an acid, knowledge of precipitation reactions, acid-base reactions, and solution stoichiometry will be useful. Two common types of such quantitative analyses are gravimetric analysis and acid-base titration. 

Stoichiometry of Reactions in Aqueous Solutions Titrations— A common laboratory technique applicable to precipitation, acid-base, and redox reactions is titration. The key point in a titration is the equivalence point, which can be observed with the aid of an indicator. Titration data can be used to establish a solution s molarity, called standardization of a solution, or to provide other information about the compositions of samples being analyzed. 

Knowledge of stoichiometry of the induced reaction could help to distinguish whether chromium(V) or chromium(IV) species are involved in the oxidation of benzaldehyde. Thus, the Cr(V) hypothesis predicts that for each molecule of benzaldehyde oxidized two molecules of manganese dioxide should be formed, whereas the Cr(IV) predicts that one molecule of manganese dioxide should be formed for each two molecules of benzaldehyde oxidized. Unfortunately, the attempt to determine the stoichiometry of the induced reaction failed because the oxidized manganese species was not precipitated during the reaction presumably due to formation of acetate complexes in the concentrated acetic acid solution. 

Alkali metal doping of Cjq is also possible by solution-phase techniques [1,118-121]. K CgQ and Rb CgQ containing small fractions of the superconducting M3C50 phases were prepared by allowing toluene solutions of Cjq to react with the alkali metal [118, 119]. During the reaction, the alkali metal fullerides form a black precipitate. In another example, sonication of a solution of Cjq and excess potassium in TMEDA yields K3C5q(THF)j4 with a defined stoichiometry [104],... 

Fluorhydroxyapatite can be synthesised by the traditional double-decomposition method generally used for apatite precipitation. An ammonium phosphate and fluoride solution (solution B) is added, dropwise, into a hot (generally at boiling temperature) calcium solution (solution A) at a basic pH level as previously published [122,123]. Fluorapatites close to stoichiometry are obtained (a = 2, see the following reaction equation) however, a very small residual amount of OH always seems to be present. Filtration and several washing operations are necessary to remove the counter-ions. The reaction is almost total due to the very low solubility of fluorhydroxyapatites. 

Recommended reference operating conditions for Cu precipitation in the pilot plant system include a 90Z to 100Z stoichiometry, initial Cu concentrations of 150 to 180 g/L, and crystallization periods of 24 hours. A seed solution will not be necessary. Also, reaction temperature has no effect on Cu removal or efficiency of acid regeneration for solutions containing 100 or 150 g/L Cu.
