Problems in HARRIS


Chapter 3 (pp. 50-67): #1, 2, 5, 11, 14abc
Chapter 4 (pp. 68-91):

#A, 14, 22 

Chapter 5 (pp 92-111): #A
Chapter 1 (pp. 12-27): #31
Additional Problems
  1. The Ti content (wt%) of two different ore samples was measured several times by the same method. Are the mean values significantly different at the 95% confidence level?



  2. A sample weighs 0.2500 grams and contains chloride. The chloride is precipitated as AgCl. What is the %-Cl in the sample if the precipitate weighs 0.7476 grams?

  3. Iron is often determined titrimetrically. A sample of iron is dissolved and all of the iron is converted to Fe2+, which is then titrated with a K2Cr2O7 solution. What is the %-Fe in a 0.5285-gram sample that requires 26.87 milliliters of a 0.01524 M K2Cr2O7 solution before an endpoint is reached? The reaction is:

    Cr2O72- + 6Fe2+ + 14H+ --> 2Cr2+ + 6Fe3+ + 7H2O
