Consider scenario A: A soil core with a volume of 150 cm³ is sampled from the field. The soil weighs 220g when directly after collection from the field. The soil was brought back to the lab and saturated until all the pores were filled and it weighed 275g. The soil was then allowed to drain and weighed 235g after all the gravitational water drained out of the sample. After oven drying at 105 °C for 24 hours the sample weighed 200g. What is the volume of the total pore space (in cm°) in this soil?

6. A stock solution containing 25% w/v of chlorhexidine is used to prepare an antiseptic such that when the antiseptic is diluted 1 in 25, a 1 in 500 wash solution is obtained which is ready for use by the patient. What volume (ml) of the stock solution is required to prepare 5 litres of the antiseptic to fulfil a bulk manufacturing order?
food items weighing 10 kg initially have a moisture content of 400% (dry basis). This material is dried to a moisture content of 25% (wet basis), determine how much water is removed from the material
. These resins are organic polymeric networks that contain functional groups that are permanently attached to the resin. One such functional group is sulfonic acid, -SO3H. When placed in water, the resin (being a large organic molecule) will not dissolve. However, the ionic functional groups become hydrated and the resin will swell as it takes up waters of hydration. The resin may then be thought of as a solid solution mixture with the functional groups being "dissolved" but the polymer remaining as a solid. The hydronium ion (H3O+) associated with acidic functional groups like sulfonic acid will dissociate just as it would if the acid were free of the resin. If other cations such as Cu2+ or Na+ are added to the resin, an ion-exchange reaction can occur: . Note that one H+ is released for each positive charge bound to the resin. Since the resin exchanges a hydrogen ion for a sodium ion in this reaction, sulfonic acid resins are called cation-exchange resins. Equilibrium constants may…

If you mixed a solution at ARCC that was 17.5 % mass/mass of the sugar sodium and then transferred 2.00 mL weighing 3.21 g into a graduated cylinder and diluted to 10.00 mL, what mass of sodium was transferred to your new solution?
A 10.00 mL of natural water sample containing Ni2+ was pipetted into a volumetric flask and diluted to 50.00 mL with pure water. In the second 10.00 mL of natural water sample transferred into a volumetric flask, exactly 4.00 mL of a Ni2+ solution with a concentration of 5.99 mg/L was added and then diluted to 50.00 mL with pure water. The measured absorbance is A1= 0.436 and A2 = 0.663. What is the Ni2+ concentration in unit of mg/L in the natural water sample?
Dr. Caras was characterizing a cytochrome (an iron containing protein) from a new strain of bacteria. He obtained eight measurements of the percent iron in the protein: 0.2409%, 0.2404%, 0.2394%, 0.2399%, 0.2515%, 0.2393%, 0.2409%, and 0.2392%. Calculate the mean (x) and standard deviation (s) for these results. % S = Use the Grubbs test to determine if one of these values is an outlier. What is the value of Galculated?
