The percentage of silver in a solid sample is determined gravimetrically by converting the silver to ag+ (aq) and precipitating it as silver chloride. failure to do which of the following could cause errors in the analysis? i account for the mass of the weighing paper when determining the mass of the sampleii measure the temperature during the precipitation reactioniii wash the precipitateiv heat the agcl precipitate to constant mass(a) i & ii
(b) i & iv
(c) ii & iii
(d) i, iii, & iv

(D) I, III, & IV

Explanation:

Firstly, the precipitate needs to be washed to remove water soluble impurities adsorbed on the surface of the precipitate which could affect its mass. Secondly, the precipitate must be heated to constant mass to drive off solvent molecules that adhered to the solid and could inflate the mass of the precipitate thereby introducing error to the analysis. The mass of the weighing paper must be accounted for because the mass read from the balance is the mass of the sample+ weighing paper.

out of these options:

ability to burn paper

pure sodium reacting violently with water

the boiling point of water

helium does not tend to react with anything

i would say this is a physical property:

helium does not tend to react with anything

why? :

i said helium does not tend to react with anything because well, it reacts to ! but ability to burn paper, pure sodium reacting violently with water, & the boiling point of water are chemical or

physical properties: the properties of a substance that can be observed without changing the chemical makeup of the substance

chemical properties: properties of a substance relating to the chemical nature and reactivity of the substance
