**Title:** Measuring the Volume of an Irregularly Shaped Soluble Object**Description:**In this activity, you are tasked with determining the volume of an irregularly shaped piece of candy that is soluble in water. Here, we outline a procedure to measure this volume without dissolving the candy in water. **Procedure:**1. **Prepare Materials:** - An irregularly shaped piece of candy. - A liquid in which the candy does not dissolve (e.g., oil). - A graduated cylinder or a measuring cup. - A piece of string (optional). - A balance for measuring weight (optional).2. **Initial Volume Measurement:** - Fill the graduated cylinder or measuring cup with a known volume of oil. Record this initial volume ($ V_i $).3. **Submergence of Candy:** - Carefully submerge the candy in the oil, ensuring it is fully submerged. - Note: If the candy floats, you can tie a piece of string around it to submerge it completely, or use a suitable object that can weigh the candy down without dissolving in the oil.4. **Final Volume Measurement:** - Record the new volume of oil after submerging the candy ($ V_f $). - Make sure to read the volume at eye level to avoid parallax error.5. **Calculate the Volume of the Candy:** - Subtract the initial volume ($ V_i $) from the final volume ($ V_f $): \[ \text{Volume of the candy} = V_f - V_i \]**Conclusion:**This procedure allows you to accurately measure the volume of an irregularly shaped piece of candy without dissolving it in water. By using a liquid in which the candy does not dissolve, the displacement method provides an effective and reliable way to determine the candy's volume.**Example:**1. Initial volume of oil: $ 50 \, \text{mL} $.2. Final volume of oil after submerging candy: $ 65 \, \text{mL} $.3. Volume of candy: $ 65 \, \text{mL} - 50 \, \text{mL} = 15 \, \text{mL} $.By following this simple yet effective displacement method, you can overcome the challenge of measuring the volume of

A standard solution was prepared by dissolving 0.2436 g of tin (II) chloride (SnCl2) in distilled water. The solution was diluted to a total volume of 100 mL. A 2-mL portion of this standard was then diluted to a 50-mL final volume to create the desired solution. What is the final concentration of the solution in ppm?

(Use the density of water = 1 g/mL; for this question, since the concentration is dilute you may assume that the added NaCl does not result in a change in volume when it is added to water.) Do your answers make sense? Would either of these values potentially depend on temperature? 1b. Stomach acid is essentially a solution of hydrochloric acid (HCl).
