II. Problem Solving:

1. Give the complete redox reaction of the following system when placed under basic conditions.

Cr(OH) (aq) + ClO (aq) CrO (aq) + Cl (aq)

3 3- 42- -

Reduction half-reaction: 5OH- + Cr(OH)3 CrO42- + 4H2O + 3e-

Oxidation half-reaction: 6e- + 3H2O + ClO3- Cl- + 6OH-
Over-all Redox reaction:
30OH- + 6Cr(OH)3 + 9H2O + 3ClO3- 6CrO42- + 24H2O + 3Cl- + 18OH-

12OH- + 6Cr(OH)3 + 3ClO3- 6CrO42- + 15H2O + 3Cl-

4OH- + 2Cr(OH)3 + ClO3- -> 2CrO42- + 5H2O + Cl-

2. The concentration of acetic acid in a vinegar sample is determined by titration. 5.00 mL of

sample was diluted in 100 mL volumetric flask. The content was then titrated using a 0.0490 M
standardized Ba(OH)2 titrant. If 38.3 mL of titrant was used to reach the endpoint, determine
the following:

a. [CH3COOH]

3. a.
2Al(s) +6HCl(aq) 2AlCl3(aq) +3H2(g) H = -1049.0 kJ
6[HCl(g) HCl(aq)] 6[H = -74.8 kJ]
3[H2(g) + Cl2(g) 2HCl(g)] 3[H = -1845 kJ]
-2[AlCl3(s) AlCl3(aq)] -2[H = -323 kJ]
2Al(s) + 3Cl2(g) 2AlCl3(s) H = -6386.8 kJ

b. G = H - TS
= -6386.8 kJ - (318.15 K (37.0 J/K))(1 kJ/1000 /J)
= -6398.6 kJ spontaneous

4. Since the reaction proceeds to endpoint, M MESVMES = MNaOHVNaOH

(0.1000 )(10.00 )
= = = .
50.00
