The information that is given in the statement “A liter of water, colored with a purple dye, was passed through a charcoal filter. The charcoal adsorbed the dye and colorless water came through. Later, the purple dye was removed from the charcoal and retained its color” has to be classified whether it is qualitative or quantitative and whether it relates to physical or chemical property. Concept Introduction: Physical properties: The properties which are measured or observed without change in composition of matter are said to be physical properties. These includes appearance, texture, color, odour, melting point, boiling point, density, solubility, polarity and so on. Chemical properties: The properties that are observed when a substance undergoes any chemical reaction are said to be chemical properties. These include flammability, toxicity, stability, heat of combustion, reactivity, acidity, basicity and so on. Qualitative properties: The measure of the quality of something rather than its quantity is said to qualitative observation. It includes size, appearance, value and so on. Quantitative properties: The measure of the quantity of something rather than its quality is said to be quantitative observation. Quantity of the substance is indicated in numerical values.

Phenobarbital was introduced in 1912 for the treatment of epilepsy. It is an anti-convulsant and sedative-hypnotic drug and used to control seizures. The measurement of phenobarbital is by fluorescence method. A 5.00 mL aliquots of an unknown containing phenobarbital were delivered to 50.00 mL volumetric flasks. The following volumes of a standard solution of phenobarbital, 2.00ug/mL, were then introduced to the volumetric flasks before diluting to volume with the corresponding signals on a fluorometer equipment. Find the concentration of phenobarbital in the original unknown sample.

A student was asked to determine the concentration of ammonia, a volatile substance, in a commercially available cloudy ammonia solution used for cleaning. First the student pipetted 25.00 mL of the cloudy ammonia solution into a 250.0 mL conical flask. 50.00 mL of 0.100 mol L-¹ HCl(aq) was immed added to the conical flask which reactedwith the ammonia in solution. The excess (unreacted) HC1 was then titrated with 21.50 mL 0. 050 M Na2CO3 (aq). Calculate the concentration of the ammonia in the cloudy ammonia solution.

164.00 mL of 0.200 M Cu(NO3)2(aq) is mixed with 93.000 mL of 0.400 M NaOH(aq). Assuming 100% yield, what mass (in g) of precipitate will form? Provide your answer in decimal notation rounded to the appropriate number of significant figures.
