Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc with smaller amounts of lead, tin, and other elements. Generally, copper can be separated from the other components by electrolysis. A sample of brass is analyzed for copper by electrogravimetry. A portion of the alloy weighing 2.1049 g is dissolved in nitric acid, and the copper is plated onto a platinum gauze cathode weighing 13.4963 g. After electrolysis is complete, the cathode is removed from the solution, washed, and dried. It now weighs 14.7402 g. Calculate the percentage of copper in the brass sample.

A 0.3304-g sample of brass (containing lead, zinc, copper, and tin) was dissolved in nitric acid. The sparingly soluble SnO2.4H2O was removed by filtration, and the combined filtrate and washings were then diluted to 500.0 mL. A 10.00-mL aliquot was suitably buffered; titration of the lead, zinc, and copper in this aliquot required 34.78 mL of 0.002700 M EDTA. The copper in a 25.00-mL aliquot was masked with thiosulfate; the lead and zinc were then titrated with 25.62 mL of...
Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Varying the mass percentages of the two metals produces brasses with different properties. A brass called yellow zinc has high ductility and strength and is 34.0%−37.0% zinc by mass. (a) Find the mass range (in g) of copper in 487 g of yellow zinc. (b) What is the mass range (in g) of zinc in a sample of yellow zinc that contains 48.5 g of copper?
Brass is a metallic alloy of copper and zinc. The relative percentages of copper and zinc determine the properties of the brass; resistance to corrosion and malleability, for example, are dependent on the relative amounts of copper and zinc. The percentage of zinc within a sample of brass may be determined using the techniques encountered in this experiment. 1. A 0.3400 g piece of brass is allowed to react with hydrochloric acid at the base of eudiometer. The hydrogen gas...
A 0.4598 g sample of pewter, containing tin, lead, copper, and zinc, was dissolved in acid. Tin was precipitated as SnO2·4H2O and removed by filtration. The resulting filtrate and washings were diluted to a total volume of 250.0 mL. A 20.00 mL aliquot of this solution was buffered, and titration of the lead, copper, and zinc in solution required 34.81 mL of 0.001487 M EDTA. Thiosulfate was used to mask the copper in a second 25.00 mL aliquot. Titration of...
A 0.4505 g sample of pewter, containing tin, lead, copper, and zinc, was dissolved in acid. Tin was precipitated as SnO2⋅4H2Oand removed by filtration. The resulting filtrate and washings were diluted to a total volume of 250.0 mL. A 15.00 mL aliquot of this solution was buffered, and titration of the lead, copper, and zinc in solution required 35.10 mL of 0.001497 M EDTA. Thiosulfate was used to mask the copper in a second 20.00 mL aliquot. Titration of the...

Question 2 of 5 A 0.4686 g sample of pewter, containing tin, lead, copper, and zinc, was dissolved in acid. Tin was precipitated as Sno, .4H, O and removed by filtration. The resulting filtrate and washings were diluted to a total volume of 200.0 mL. A 20.00 mL aliquot of this solution was buffered, and titration of the lead, copper, and zinc in solution required 35.16 mL of 0.001543 M EDTA. Thiosulfate was used to mask the copper in a...
Please help. I will rate! A 0.4721 g sample of pewter, containing tin, lead, copper, and zinc, was dissolved in acid. Tin was precipitated as SnO 4 H,O and removed by filtration. The resulting filtrate and washings were diluted to a total volume of 250.0 mL. A 15.00 mL aliquot of this solution was buffered, and titration of the lead, copper, and zinc in solution required 34.45 mL of 0.001518 M EDTA. Thiosulfate was used to mask the copper in...
