One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 200. mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with tin(II) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: SnCl,(aq) + 2 AgNO3(aq) 2 AgCl(s) + Sn(NO3),aq9) The chemist adds 77.0 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. He finds he has collected 3.3 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of tin(II) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. mg

Much of the sulfur used in the United States comes from the hydrogen sulfide contaminant that makes "sour" natural gas smell bad. Hydrogen sulfide is separated from the other components of natural gas mostly by taking advantage of its acid-base reaction with aqueous ethanolamine: HO(CH,),NH,(aq)+H,S(g) → HO(CH,),NH,(aq)+HS (aq) Suppose an engineer decides to study the rate of this reaction. She prepares four reaction vessels with 167.6 mL of ethanolamine solution and 20.9 g of hydrogen sulfide gas each. The volume and temperature of each vessel is shown in the table below. Arrange the reaction vessels in decreasing order of initial rate of reaction. In other words, select a "1" next to the vessel in which the engineer can reasonably expect the initial rate of reaction to be highest, a "2" next to the vessel in which the initial rate of reaction would be next highest, and so on. vessel volume temperature A B C D 5.0 L 5.0 L 5.0 L 5.0 L 49, °C 48. °C 51. °C 50. °C X initial rate of…

Sodium hydrogen carbonate NaHCO3, also known as sodium bicarbonate or "baking soda", can be used to relieve acid indigestion. Acid indigestion is the burning sensation you get in your stomach when it contains too much hydrochloric acid HCl, which the stomach secretes to help digest food. Drinking a glass of water containing dissolved NaHCO3 neutralizes excess HCl through this reaction: HCl(aq)+NaHCO3(aq)→NaCl(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) The CO2 gas produced is what makes you burp after drinking the solution. Suppose the fluid in the stomach of a woman suffering from indigestion can be considered to be 200.mL of a 0.089M HCl solution. What mass of NaHCO3 would she need to ingest to neutralize this much HCl? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
One way in which the useful metal copper is produced is by dissolving the mineral azurite, which contains copper(II) carbonate, in concentrated sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid reacts with the copper(II) carbonate to produce a blue solution of copper(II) sulfate. Scrap iron is then added to this solution, and pure copper metal precipitates out because of the following chemical reaction: Fe(s)+CuSO4(aq)→Cu(s)+FeSO4(aq) Suppose an industrial quality-control chemist analyzes a sample from a copper processing plant in the following way. He adds powdered iron to a 350.mL copper(II) sulfate sample from the plant until no more copper will precipitate. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate, and finds that it has a mass of 142.mg. Calculate the original concentration of copper(II) sulfate in the sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Sodium hydrogen carbonate (NaHCO,), also known as sodium bicarbonate or "baking soda", can be used to relieve acid indigestion. Acid indigestion is the burning sensation you get in your stomach when it contains too much hydrochloric acid (HCI) , which the stomach secretes to help digest food. Drinking a glass of water containing dissolved NaHCO, neutralizes excess HCl through this reaction: HCl(aq) + NaHCO;(aq) → NaCl(aq) + H,O(1) + CO,(g) The CO, gas produced is what makes you burp after drinking the solution. Suppose the fluid in the stomach of a man suffering from indigestion can be considered to be 100. mL of a 0.048 M HCI solution. What mass of NaHCO, would he need to ingest to neutralize this much HCl ? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. x10
b) Water "softeners" work via the principle of ion-exchange. The tank of a water softener is filled with a soluble salt such as sodium chloride. As "hard" water passes through the tank, the undesirable ions in hard water (e.g., calcium, magnesium, and iron III) are exchanged for the more desirable "soft" (meaning more soluble) ions like sodium. Explain how swapping the "soft"-water sodium ions for "hard"-water ions would influence the behavior (the cleaning effectiveness) of soaps and detergents.
One way the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) tests for chloride contaminants in water is by titrating a sample of silver nitrate solution. Any chloride anions in solution will combine with the silver cations to produce bright white silver chloride precipitate. Suppose an EPA chemist tests a 200. mL sample of groundwater known to be contarninated with cadmiurn chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: CdCl2(aq) + 2 AgNO3(aq) —> 2 AgCl(s)+ Cd(NO3)2(aq) The chemist adds 86.0 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 4.1 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of cadmium chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Round your answer to 2 significant digits.
