A high school chemistry student wishes to demonstrate how water can be separated into hydrogen and oxygen by electrolysis. She knows that the reaction will proceed more rapidly if an electrolyte is added to the water, and has 2.00 Msolutions of these reagents available: H2SO4, HCI, NaCI, Na2SO4, Na2CO3, and CACO3.

It is stated in Section 6.3 of the text that to balance equations by inspection you start “with the most complicated molecule.” What does this mean? Why is it best to do this?
You wish to prepare 1 L of a 0.02-M potassium iodate solution. You require that the final concentration be within 1% of 0.02 M and that the concentration must be known accurately to the fourth decimal place. How would you prepare this solution? Specify the glassware you would use, the accuracy needed for the balance, and the ranges of acceptable masses of KIO3 that can be used.
Magnesium metal (a component of alloys used in aircraft and a reducing agent used in the production of uranium, titanium, and other active metals) is isolated from sea water by the following sequence of reactions: Mg2+(aq)+Ca(OH)2(aq)Mg(OH)2(s)+Ca2+(aq)Mg(OH)2(s)+2HCl(aq)MgCl2(s)+2H2O(l)MgCl2(l)electrolysisMg(s)+Cl2+Cl2(g) Sea water has a density of 1.026 g/cm3 and contains 1272 parts per million of magnesium a5 Mg2+(aq) by mass. What mass, in kilograms, of Ca(OH)2; is required to precipitate 99.9% of the magnesium in 1.00103 L of sea water?
Nickel(II) sulfide, NiS, occurs naturally as the relatively rare mineral millerite. One of its occurrences is in meteorites. To analyze a mineral sample for the quantity of NiS, the sample is dissolved in nitric add to form a solution of Ni(NO3)2. NiS(s) + 4 HNO3(aq) Ni(NO3)2(aq) + 2 NO2(g) + 2 H2O(l) + S(s) The aqueous solution of Ni(NO3)2 is then reacted with the organic compound dimethylglyoxime (C4H8N2O2) to give the red solid Ni((C4H7N2O2)2. Ni(NO3)2(aq) + 2 (C4H8N2O2)(aq) Ni(C4H7N2O2)2 + 2 HNO3(aq) Suppose a 0.468-g sample containing millerite produces 0.206 g of red, solid Ni(C4H7N2O2)2 What is the mass percent of NiS in the sample?

To help ensure three significant figures in the NaOH molarity, to how many significant figures should the volumes and mass be determined?
In the spectroscopic analysis of many substances, a series of standard solutions of known concentration are measured to generate a calibration curve.
