Fracking produces radioactive wastewater as well as solids contaminated with radium. To treat this waste, the solid and liquid phases are first separated, and solid waste is put in the landfill. Next, the wastewater can be treated so that radium precipitates out of solution. That way, the solid and liquid can be separated and the water will no longer contain this radioactive element. 7. Which of the following would be the best choice for precipitation of radium ions (Ra*) from water? a. NaNO, b. K,CO, c. Mg(HCO,), d. Li(C,H,O,)

"Synthesis gas" is a mixture of carbon monoxide and water vapor. At high temperature synthesis gas will form carbon dioxide and hydrogen, and in fact this reaction is one of the ways hydrogen is made industrially. A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 125 L tank with 20. mol of carbon monoxide gas and 24. mol of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium he determines that it contains 7.0 mol of carbon monoxide gas, 11. mol of water vapor and 13. mol of carbon dioxide. The engineer then adds another 7.0 mol of carbon monoxide, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the moles of hydrogen after equilibrium is reached the second time. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. mol
1. Monitoring blood glucose levels is an important aspect of managing diabetes. The preprandial glucose level is the glucose level measured before a meal, and it should be 70 - 130 mg/dL. When testing blood glucose levels in a laboratory, two reactions are implemented to determine the concentration of glucose in the blood. First, glucose is broken down in the presence of water and oxygen by the enzyme glucose oxidase to form hydrogen peroxide and gluconic acid. When 4-aminoantipyrine and p-hydroxy benzene sulfonic acid (p-HBS) is added in the presence of peroxidase, the hydrogen peroxide is converted to water and a red quinone imine dye. The concentration of the dye can be measured spectrophotometrically and related back to the initial concentration of glucose. Glucose Oxidase C6H1206 + H20 + 02 glucose H202 + C6H1207 gluconic acid Peroxidase H202 + C11H13N30 + C6 H,04S 4-aminoantipyrine p-HBS H20 + Quinone Imine Dye After both reactions have come to completion, the concentration of…

A chemical engineer studying this reaction fills a 25 L tank with 11. mol of carbon monoxide gas and 12. mol of water vapor. When the mixture has come to equilibrium he determines that it contains 6.9 mol of carbon monoxide gas, 7.9 mol of water vapor and 4.1 mol of hydrogen gas. The engineer then adds another 3.0 mol of water, and allows the mixture to come to equilibrium again. Calculate the moles of carbon dioxide after equilibrium is reached the second time.

The reaction A(aq) + B(aq) C(aq) + D(aq) has a ΔHrxn = -85 kJ/mol. This reaction is endorthermic or exothermic . If the temperature of the reaction mixture is increased, equilibrium will shift towards the reactans or products. This change will decrease or increase the concentration of the reactants and K will increase or deacrease
What happens if a solute is added to a saturated solution? A) Nothing will happen, solute will not mix with a saturated solution. B) The added solute provides a template for the solid to begin to crystallize from solution, and a precipitate will form. C) The added solute makes the solution less saturated. D) The added solute provides a template for the gas to begin to boil from solution, and a gas will form. Why is A false?

A researcher wants to make a buffer using potassium dihydrogen phosphate. What mass of potassium dihydrogen phosphate in grams would the researcher need to make 1.0 liter of buffer with a concentration of 20. mM solution?
Ammonium sulfate is added to an unknown mixture of ions. A precipitate forms. The solution is centrifuged, and the remaining solutions is decanted. Ammonium oxalate is then added to the solution and a precipitate forms. The solution is centrifuged, and the remaining solution is decanted. Sodium monohydrogen phosphate and sodium hydroxide are added to the decanted solution, and a precipitate forms. The precipitate is centrifuged and decanted. The solid is dissolved in acid, magnesium indicator is added, then sodium hydroxide is added until the solution turns cloudy blue, which settles when centrifuged. Sodium hydroxide is added to a fresh sample of the unknown. A damp piece of litmus paper over the opening of the test tube remains red. Select the ions present.
