**Sodium Thiosulfate in Photography**Sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate, Na₂S₂O₃·5H₂O, commonly known as "hypo," is a crucial compound in the photography industry. It dissolves unreacted silver salts from photographic film during the development process. This compound is produced by boiling elemental sulfur in an aqueous solution of sodium sulfite.**Chemical Reaction (Unbalanced):**\[ \text{S}_8 (s) + \text{Na}_2\text{SO}_3 (aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (l) \rightarrow \text{Na}_2\text{S}_2\text{O}_3 \cdot 5\text{H}_2\text{O} (s) \]**Problem:**Calculate the theoretical yield of sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate when 3.25 g of sulfur is boiled with 13.1 g of sodium sulfite. If only 5.26 g of the product is isolated, determine the percent yield of this synthesis.**Hints:**- Use stoichiometry to find the theoretical yield based on the given amounts of reactants.- Compare the actual yield (5.26 g) to the theoretical yield to calculate the percent yield.This exercise highlights the practical application of theoretical and percent yield calculations in real-world chemical processes.

The reaction taking place is given as, => S8 (s) + Na2SO3 (aq) + H2O (l) → Na2S2O3·5H2O (s)…

Combustion of hydrocarbons such as hexane (C6H₁4) produces carbon dioxide, a "greenhouse gas." Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere can trap the Sun's heat, raising the average temperature of the Earth. For this reason there has been a great deal of international discussion about whether to regulate the production of carbon dioxide. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the combustion of liquid hexane into gaseous carbon dioxide and gaseous water. 2. Suppose 0.320 kg of hexane are burned in air at a pressure of exactly 1 atm and a temperature of 15.0 °C. Calculate the volume of carbon dioxide gas that is produced. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. OL X x10 Ś 18 Ar
Standard airbags for automobiles used to implement the formation of sodium azide as a source of nitrogen gas. This has since been replaced due to the potential caustic nature of the products. The sodium azide required for automobile air bags is made by the reaction of sodium metal with dinitrogen oxide in liquid ammonia: 3N2O(g) + 4Na(s) + NH3(l)→ NaN3(s) + 3NaOH(s) + 2N2(g) a.

Chloramine is a toxic gas that can form in swimming pools by the reaction of hypochlorous acid, used to sanitize pool water, with ammonia, a component of sweat and urine. Chloramine gas, NH₂Cl(g), is the cause of the identifiable 'pool smell'. The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of hypochlorous acid and ammonia is: HOCl(aq) + NH₃(aq) → NH₂Cl(g) + H₂O(l) A swimming pool holding 9.50 × 10⁴ gallons of water. 1.00 gallons HOCl sanitizer is enough to sanitize 1.00 × 10⁴ gallons of pool water. The sanitizer has a concentration of 12.00 mg/L of Cl atoms. Determine the moles of chloramine are produced if ammonia is in excess. (1 gal = 3.785 L)

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 iron(III) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: FeCl3 (aq) + 3AgNO3 (aq) → 3AgCl (s) + FeNO33 (aq)The chemist adds 86.0m M silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. He finds he has collected 7.5mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of iron(III) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. 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) + CUSO 4(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 450. 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 147. mg. Calculate the original concentration of copper(II) sulfate in the sample. Round your answer to 3 significant digits. ?
