A student dissolves a Jefferson nickel to make 100.00 mL of solution in a volumetric flask. The student takes a 5.00 mL aliquot of the first solution and dilutes it to make 100.00 mL of a second solution. The student places a sample of the second solution in a cuvette for analysis using spectrophotometry. The molarity of the copper solution in the cuvette was determined by spectrophotometric analysis to be 2.90 x 10-2 M Cu. Calculate the mass of copper in the Jefferson nickel used to make the first solution. Use the diagram to help visualize the dilution process.

Before investigating the scene, the technician must dilute the luminol solution to a concentration of 2.00x10-2 M. The diluted solution is then placed in a spray bottle for application on the desired surfaces. How many moles of luminol are present in 2.00 L of the diluted spray? Express your answer with the appropriate units.
Suppose you wish to separate a mixture of fine particles of gold and sand, neither of which is soluble in water. If you add liquid mercury to the mixture, the sand will float to the top of the mixture while the gold will dissolve. The sand can then be skimmed from the surface. You can recover the gold by heating the solution to evaporate the liquid mercury. Create a flow chart to illustrate this separation and recovery scheme.
A student would like to prepare a 0.010 M solution from a 1.0 M stock solution with minimal error. The student can choose to do a one-step dilution that uses a 10 mL transfer pipet and a 1000 mL volumetric flask or a two-step dilution using a 50 mL pipet and a 1000 mL volumetric flask for the first dilution, and a 100 mL pipet and a 500 mL volumetric flask for the second dilution. Which method has the smallest overall relative uncertainty and what is the value? **Use table 4.2 on page 70 in your textbook for tolerances of the glassware.

In the determination of the concentration of chloride ion in water five experiments were done: 254.3 ppm, 254.7 ppm, 249.9 ppm, 252.5 ppm, and 253.4 ppm. What is the relative average deviation of this experiment? (ppm=mg/L
Starting from the primary standard solution in Question 4 and using the dilution scheme in Figure 1, calculate the concentrations of Standards #1-5. Show all work on a piece of scratch paper. Label each calculation clearly (Standard #1, Standard #2, etc) and circle your final answer for each standard. Be sure to round your answers to the correct number of significant figures and include units. Molarity in #4 is 0.0004089 M or 4.089x10^-4

You measure 15.0 mL of the H2C2O4 solution with a 100-mL graduated cylinder and add it to a 125-mL Erlenmeyer flask. Then you add two drops of the indicator, phenolphthalein, to the oxalic acid solution in the flask. You dispense the NaOH solution from the buret into the flask (while swirling the flask) until you reach the endpoint. At the endpoint, the solution in the flask turns light pink. You repeat the titration two additional times for a total of three trials. H2C2O4 (aq) + 2 NaOH (aq) --> Na2C2O4 (aq) + 2 H2O (l) (I) (II) (III) Volume of H2C2O4 used 15.00 mL 15.00 mL 15.00 mL how many Moles H2C2O4 are used in each trial?
