In the phosphate analysis of a wastewater sample, 30.00 mL of the original sample was taken and diluted with 120.00 mL deionized water. The diluted sample was found to have a phosphate content of 25.5 ppm. What is the phosphate content (in ppm) of the original wastewater sample?

According to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), waste material is classified as toxic and must be handled as hazardous if the lead concentration exceeds 5 mg/L. By adding chloride ion, the lead ion will precipitate as PbCl2, which can be separated from the liquid portion. Once the lead has been removed, the rest of the waste can be sent to a conventional waste treatment facility. How many grams of sodium chloride must be added to 500 L of a waste solution to reduce the concentration of the Pb2+ ion from 10 to 5 mg/L?
The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16Handbook) gives solubilities of the following compounds in grams per 100 mL of water. Because these compounds are only slightly soluble, assume that the volume does not change on dissolution and calculate the solubility product for each. (a) BaSiF6, 0.026 g/100 mL (contains SiF62- ions) (b) Ce(IO3)4, 1.5102 g/100 mL (c) Gd2(SO4)3, 3.98 g/100 mL (d) (NH4)2PtBr6, 0.59 g/100 mL (contains PtBr62- ions)
You are given four different aqueous solutions and told that they each contain NaOH, Na2CO3, NaHCO3, or a mixture of these solutes. You do some experiments and gather these data about the samples. Sample A: Phenolphthalein is colorless in the solution. Sample B: The sample was titrated with HCl until the pink color of phenolphthalein disappeared, then methyl orange was added. The solution became pink. Methyl orange changes color from pH 3.01 (red) to pH 4.4 (orange). Sample C: Equal volumes of the sample were titrated with standardized acid. Using phenolphthalein as an indicator required 15.26 mL of standardized acid to change the phenolphthalein color. The other sample required 17.90 mL for a color change using methyl orange as the indicator. Sample D: Two equal volumes of the sample were titrated with standardized HCl. Using phenolphthalein as the indicator, it took 15.00 mL of acid to reach the equivalence point; using methyl orange as the indicator required 30.00 mL HCl to achieve neutralization. Identify the solute in each of the solutions.
Distinguish between the terms slightly soluble and weak. electrolyte.

In Exercise 12.49, what is the allowed concentration of AgCl in g per 100 g of water? The Safe Drinking Water Act of 1974 established the maximum permitted concentration of silver ion at 0.05 ppm. What is the concentration of Ag+ in parts per million in a saturated solution of AgCl? (NOTE: 1 ppm = 1 mgofsolute/L of solution.)
Apatite, Ca5(PO4)3OH, is the mineral in teeth. On a chemical basis explain why drinking milk strengthens young children’s teeth. Sour milk contains lactic acid. Not removing sour milk from the teeth of young children can lead to tooth decay. Use chemical principles to explain why.
A 0.411 g sample of potassium hydrogen phthalate, KHC8H4O4 (molar mass = 204.22g/mol), is dissolved with 50.0 mL of deionized water in a 125mL Erlenmeyer flask. The sample is titrated to the phenolphthalein endpoint with 15.17 mL of a sodium hydroxide solution. What is the molar concentration of the NaOH solution? Express the molar concentration of NaOH to the correct number of significant figures.
The tartaric acid, H2C4H406 (150.087 g/mol ) concentration in 100.0 mL wine sample was determined using 0.4050M sodium hydroxide standard solution. In the experiment, the %w/w of tartaric acid present in the wine sample by analyzing and titrating only 25.00 mL aliquot from the 100-ml wine sample. The endpoint of titration was reached upon the addition of exactly 43.56 mL NaOH solution?

A phosphate buﬀer solution (25.00 mL sample) used for a growth medium was titrated with 0.1000 M hydrochloric acid. The components of the buﬀer were sodium monohydrogen phosphate and sodium dihydrogen phosphate. The ﬁrst endpoint occurred at a volume of 10.32 mL, and the second occurred after an additional 18.62 mL was added, for a total volume of 28.94 mL. What was the total concentration of phosphate (in any form) in the buﬀer? **Please be as detailed as possible. The different volumes in this titration are a little difficult to understand** THANK you in advance.
A solution contains NaOH, Na₂CO3, and NaHCO3, either alone or in a permissible combination. A 50 mL portion required 42.0 mL of 0.10 M HCl to reach bromocresol green end point. A second 50 mL portion required 16.0 mL of the HCI to reach phenolphthalein end point. Determine the composition and the molar solute concentrations of the original solution.
