The water solubilities of oxalic acid and sodium oxalate at room temp are 10g/100ml and 3.7g/100ml respectively. Could you prepare oxalic acid by adding HCl to a solution of sodium oxalate, cooling it to room temp, and filtering the resulting mixture? Explain why or why not.
No, Oxalic acid can't be prepared in filter paper this way.
Explanation:
Sodium oxalate is the sodium salt of oxalic acid and by simple acidification oxalic acid can be recovered in solution. But the problem is when sodium oxalate converted to oxalic acid its solubility increases at room temperature. So at room temperature oxalic acid will be in the solution not in solid precipitate that's why there will be nothing to filtrate.

1. Why did you dissolve Oxalate (sodium oxalate or your sample) in sulfuric acid rather than in water? 2. Why did you heat solution (oxalate and sulfuric acid mixture) before titration with KMnO4?
Sodium carbonate, Na2CO3, reacts with hydrochloric acid, HCl, to produce sodium chloride, carbon dioxide and water. Refer to slide 7.18 for a summary of formulae relevant to the calculations below. 2HCl(aq) + Na.CO3(aq) + NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g) 1. Use this reaction to explain what is meant by the terms "acid", "conjugate base" and "salt" 2. Balance the equation for this reaction. 3. A solution was prepared by dissolving 5.00 g of Na2CO3 in water and adding water to...
A solution is prepared by dissolving 0.5892 g oxalic acid (H2C2O4) in enough water to make 100.0 mL of solution. A 10.00-mL aliquot (portion) of this solution is then diluted to a final volume of 250.0 mL. What is the final molarity of the diluted oxalic acid solution? I do not know if the answer of 0.00187 or 1.87 x 10^ -3 is correct. It is incorrect in my perspective, so i do not expect that answer, if you think...
ould you help me with all three, please 8) If the solubility limit of sodium acetate (Molar mass-82 g/mol) at room temp is 76 grams per 100 grams of water, would a solution where 355 grams of sodium acetate is dissolved in 465 mi of water be considered supersaturated7 Show all your work, and asume 1 mi water-1gram 9) if the s Am isotope emits an alpha particle, what would be the atomic namber of the 243 resulting daughter atom?...

acid buffer described in Problem 21, you discover that your m ion? laboratory is out of sodium acetate, but you do have sodium hydroxide. How much (in moles and grams) acetic acid and til the pH on of the sodium hydroxide do you need to make the buffer? f th ola . Another alternative. Your friend from another labora- ory was out of acetic acid, so tries to prepare the buffer in Problem 21 by dissolving 41.02 g...

Preparation of Phosphate Buffer Rxn: Purpose: The purpose of lab this week is to prepare a 0.05M sodium phosphate buffer, use a pH meter to adjust the pH of this buffer, and to calculate theoretical pH changes upon addition of acid/ base. Your theory will then be correlated against your actual observational pH changes. Solutions to be made Molecular Weight Table Solution Volume 1.0M HCL 10ML 1.0 M NaOH 20ml 0.05M Sodium Phosphate: *?g NaH2PO4 H2O + *?g Na2HPO4 7H2O,...
The Na,Co, solution described above was used to analyse a hydrochloric acid solution of unknown concentration. It was found that 24.30 mL of the Na,Co, solution was required to neutralise a 20.00 mL sample of the hydrochloric acid solution. 4. Using your answer to part 3 above, calculate the amount of Na,Co, present in 24.30 mL of the Na,Co, solution. (2 marks) 5. Using your answer to part 2 above, deduce the amount of HCl that was present in the...
