Platinum is a precious metal that is used as a catalyst for many important industrial reactions. Platinum can be purified by reacting platinum(IV) bromide solution with aluminium metal. To test this purification process, a student reacted 15.1 kg of aluminium metal with excess platinum(IV) bromide solution. After the reaction was complete, the student had extracted 75.4 kg of platinum metal. From this data, calculate the percent error of this experiment. Hint: Write a balanced chemical reaction equation and calculate the theoretical yield of platinum first. Do not show your work in the space provided. Record only your final answer with the correct number of significant digits and the proper units. Answer:

From a chemistry standpoint, describe the co-precipitation method to prepare metal oxide nanoparticles and compare/contrast it to the method used to prepare gold and silver nanoparticles. What different types of chemical reactivity are involved?
Precipitating gravimetry is a technique to determine the amount of an analyte based on mass of the precipitate. If the method relies on one or more chemical reactions, then the stoichiometry of the reactions does not need to be known. True or False?
Copper metal heated with sulfur produces solid copper(ii) sulfide. Write the balanced equation and classify the reaction?
A student places 1.520 grams of copper wire along with excess sulfur into a crucible (and cover), which weighs 18.030 g empty. The contents are heated mildly for five minutes to allow all the copper to react. The contents are then heated to glowing red heat for another five minutes to remove excess sulfur. The crucible and contents are cooled to room temperature. Calculate the mass of the excess sulfur (prior to its removal) if 0.4546 g of sulfur was put into the crucible at the start of the reaction.
