Chapter 1, Problem 1.88E
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The percentage of the commission of $25.73 on a total sale of $467.80 is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

The metric system unit is the unit system which is accepted as the standard system of unit internationally. The nonmetric units are the common unit system which is not standard for the parameter to be calculated. The metric system unit is also known as the standard unit system (SI units). The percentage of any number can be calculated by taking the ratio of that number with total possibilities and then multiplying it by 100.

An aqueous solution of sodium chloride,NaCl , is made by dissolving 1.01 grams of sodium chloride in sufficient water in a 50.0 mL volumetric flask, and then adding enough water to fill the flask to the mark. What is the weight/volume percentage of sodium chloride in the solution? Weight/volume percentage =           %
TUMS is a popular remedy for acid indigestion. A typical TUMS tablet contains calcium carbonate plus some inert substances. When ingested, it reacts with the gastric juice (hydrochloric acid) in the stomach to give off carbon dioxide gas. When a 1.344−g tablet reacted with 40.00 mL of hydrochloric acid (density = 1.140 g/mL), carbon dioxide gas was given off, and the resulting solution weighed 46.699 g. Calculate the number of liters of carbon dioxide gas released if its density is 1.81 g/L
A titration of vinegar was conducted using 0.756 M NaOH. In total, 30.54 mL of NaOH were added when the solution turned pink. How many moles of NaOH were involved in the reaction? Write your answer in standard notation with the correct number of significant figures. You do not need to include units.
