Checking Acid Capacity After a Gas Leaves

A rinse simulation contains a nonvolatile acid and a dissolved acid gas. A complete base test counts the moles of OH- used by both. In the model each mole of dissolved gas accounts for two moles of OH-. A second test removes only the dissolved gas before measuring base use.

Equal starting portionsOH- used in complete base test (mol)
P, gas retained0.010
Q, gas removed0.004

Question 1

Which reading gives the base used by the nonvolatile acid alone?

  1. 0.004 mol from Q
  2. 0.006 mol from the difference
  3. 0.010 mol from P
  4. 0.014 mol from the sum

Question 2

Calculate the dissolved gas amount that was present in P.

Question 3

A student says the base-use difference equals the number of moles of gas. Explain how the model ratio changes the interpretation.

Write your answer and work on the printable worksheet, or answer online.

A new portion from the same rinse loses only half its original gas. The nonvolatile acid amount stays unchanged.

Question 4

Find the moles of OH⁻ expected in the complete base test for the new portion.
