A0.5222 g solid sample containing a mixture of lacl3 (molar mass = 245.26 g/mol) and ce(no3)3 (molar mass = 326.13 g/mol) was dissolved in water. the solution was titrated with kio3 , producing the precipitates la(io3)3 and ce(io3)3 . for the complete titration of both la3+ and ce3+ , 42.81 ml of 0.1250 m kio3 was required. calculate the mass fraction of la and ce in the sample.

Mole fraction of La is 19,58 wt% and of Ce is 28,11 wt%

Explanation:

The reactions of LaCl₃ and Ce(NO₃)₃ with KIO₃ are:

LaCl₃ + 3KIO₃ → La(IO₃)₃ + 3KCl

Ce(NO₃)₃ + 3KIO₃ → Ce(IO₃)₃ + 3KNO₃

The moles required for a complete titration of the sample are:

0,04281L× 0,1250M = 5,351x10⁻³ moles of KIO₃

By the reactions, and defining X are grams of LaCl₃ and Y as grams of Ce(NO₃)₃, these moles are:

5,351x10⁻³ = + (1)

As total mass of the solid sample are 0,5222g:

0,5222g = X + Y (2)

Replacing (2) in (1):

Y = 0,3417g

Thus:

X = 0,1805g

Grams of La are:

0,1805gLaCl₃×× = 0,1022g of La

Mass fraction of La is:

0,1022g of La÷ 0,5222g × 100 = 19,58 wt%

Grams of Ce are:

0,3417gCe(NO₃)₃×× = 0,1468g of Ce

Mass fraction of Ce is:

0,1468g of Ce÷ 0,5222g × 100 = 28,11 wt%

I hope it helps!

answers: to make sure that all of the broken pieces of tablet were added to the water, to allow for fair comparison of all three trials, with different particle sizes to avoid experimental error

warm front forms when a moist, warm air mass slides up and over a cold air mass. as the warm air mass rises, it condenses into a broad area of clouds. a warm front brings gentle rain or light snow, followed by warmer, milder weather.
