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 250. mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with nickel(II) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: NiCl,(aq) + 2 AgN0;(aq) 2 AgCl(s) + Ni(NO,),(aq) The chemist adds 88.0 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 3.2 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of nickel(II) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. mg

Converting Concentrations to Different Units Introduction: Depending on how the concentration unit is defined, concentration can serve as a conversion between the amount of a solute and the amount of a solution or solvent. Concentrations can therefore be helpful in a number of stoichiometry issues. The original definition of the concentration unit is frequently preferred because it contains the conversion factor. Today, for chemists, it is suitable to make a solution in the lab using a specific concentration unit like molarity, and then convert the concentration to another unit. Today in the lab, I will prepare a sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) solution with a specific molarity. I will then translate the concentration into molality, mass percent, and mole fraction. Procedure The first step of this lab was to make sure I had everything I needed and that my surroundings were safe. I then looked at an empty beaker weighing paper and a balance. I first took a piece of weighing…
