Probset for Experiment 9 General Instruction: Write your answers in a bluebook. I. Modified TRUE or FALSE: Write TRUE if the statement is true. If its not, change the underlined statement/phrase to make the statement correct (2 pts each). Increasing 1. The amount of Cu(OH)2 can be decreased by decreasing the pH of the solution. Does not affect 2. Addition of NH3 in the Cu(OH)2 system decreases Q for Cu(OH)2. Insignificant, not need 3. In the Cu(OH)2 + Na3PO4 system, the formation of H2PO4- is significant; thus, need to be accounted for the over-all equation. Decreases, decreaing 4. Addition of ethanol increases the dielectric constant of the solvent; thus, decreasing its polarity.

II. Cause and Effect: Determine the effect of the condition on the parameter inside the parenthesis (2 pts each). Not affected Decrease Increase Increase 1. 4.0 mL of distilled water was added to the Cu(OH)2 suspension instead of the required 2.0 mL (number of moles of Cu2+) 2. 0.1 M NaCH3COO was added to a test tube containing Cu(OH)2 (amount of the precipitate after centrifugation) 3. A pinch of (NH4)2SO4 was added to the NaCl suspension instead of MgSO4 (amount of dissolved NaCl) 4. More solid NaCl was added (without shaking or stirring) to the NaCl suspension (amount of dissolved NaCl)

III. Problem Solving: Answer the following problem. Show complete solution and box your final answer. Derive the expression and calculate for the second acid dissociation constant, Ka2, for sulfurous acid from the equilibrium reaction: ( ) () ( ) ( ) () and from the Keq values below: ( ) ()
