The object of a general chemistry experiment is to determine the amount (in millilitres [mL]) of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution needed to neutralize 1 g of a specified acid. This will be an exact amount, but when the experiment is run in the laboratory, variation will occur as the result of experimental error. Three titrations are made using phenolphthalein as an indicator of the neutrality of the solution (pH equals 7 for a neutral solution). The three volumes of NaOH required to attain a pH of 7 in each of the three titrations are as follows: 82.20, 75.80, and 75.34 mL. Use a 99% confidence interval to estimate the mean number of millilitres required to neutralize 1 g of the acid. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) mL to

A bucket that weighs 4.6 pounds and a rope of negligible weight are used to draw water from a well that is 78 feet deep. The bucket is filled with 35 pounds of water and is pulled up at a rate of 1.5 feet per second, but water leaks out of a hole in the bucket at a rate of 0.25 pounds per second. Find the work done pulling the bucket to the top of the well. Your answer must include the correct units (You may enter Ibf or Ib*ft for ft-lb.) Work =
