1. A 24-hr urine specimen was diluted to 2.000 L. After the solution was buffered to pH
10, a 10.00-mL aliquot was titrated with 23.57 mL of 0.004590 M EDTA. The calcium
in a second 10.00-mL aliquot was isolated as CaC2O4(s), redissolved in acid, and titrated
with 10.53 mL of the EDTA solution. Assuming that 15 to 300 mg of magnesium and
50 to 400 mg of calcium per day are normal, did this specimen fall within these ranges?

2. A 3.650-g sample containing bromate and bromide was dissolved in sufficient water to
give 250.0 mL. After acidification, silver nitrate was introduced to a 25.00-mL aliquot to
precipitate AgBr, which was filtered, washed, and then redissolved in an ammoniacal
solution of potassium tetracyanonickelate(II):
The liberated nickel ion required 26.73 mL of 0.02089 M EDTA. The bromate in a 10.00-
mL aliquot was reduced to bromide with arsenic(III) prior to the addition of silver nitrate.
The same procedure was followed, and the released nickel ion was titrated with 21.94
mL of the EDTA solution. Calculate the percentages of NaBr and NaBrO3 in the sample.

4. In the Leibig titration of cyanide ion, a soluble complex is formed; and at the
equivalence point, solid silver cyanide is formed, signaling the end point:
2𝐶𝐶𝑁𝑁 − + 𝐴𝐴𝑔𝑔+ → 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴(𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶)−

𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 2 + 𝐴𝐴𝑔𝑔 → 𝐴𝐴𝑔𝑔 𝐴𝐴𝐴𝐴 𝐶𝐶𝐶𝐶 2 ] (end point)
A 0.4723-g sample of KCN was titrated with 0.1025 M AgNO3, requiring 34.95 mL.
What is the percent purity of the KCN? FW of KCN is 65.1157. (6 pts)
6. A 0.6407-g sample containing chloride and iodide ions gave a silver halide precipitate
weighing 0.4430 g. This precipitate was then strongly heated in a stream of Cl2 gas to
convert the AgI to AgCl; on completion of this treatment, the precipitate weighed 0.3181
g. Calculate the percentage of chloride and iodide in the sample. (6 pts)
