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 200. mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with iron(III) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution
like this:
FeCl3(aq) + 3 AgNO3(aq)
3 AgCl(s) +
Fe(NO3),(a9)
The chemist adds 56.0 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 2.8 mg 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.

Imagine that you are given 0.2500 g of a sample of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate (CuSO4 • 5 H2O). You very carefully heat the compound for an extended period of time to drive off water, after which you determine the mass of the remaining solid to be 0.1598 g. Determine whether the data given confirm the formula of the hydrate. You must show any relevant calculation

A geochemist measures the concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parsons and finds a concentration of 9.0 g·L
The geochemist also
measures the concentration of salt in several nearby non-isolated lakes, and finds an average concentration of 5.3 g·L *.
Assuming the salt concentration in Lake Parsons before it became isolated was equal to the average salt concentration in nearby non-isolated
lakes, calculate the percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated.
Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
