BOILING POINT ELEVATION:
The temperature of a boiling 50 mL of distilled water in an Erlenmeyer flask with a small
flame was taken to be 98°C. The bulb of the thermometer must not touch the bottom or sides
of the Erlenmeyer flask.
In another Erlenmeyer flask, 2.83 grams of urea is dissolved in 10 grams of distilled water. The
solution was let to boil gently and its boiling point was recorded to be 101°C.
DATA AND RESULTS: (Show all pertinent computations on the space provided if applicable.
Answers with no computation will not be considered.)

SOLUTION/S:
A researcher has developed a new analytical method to determine the percent by mass
iron in solids. To test the new method, the researcher purchases a standard reference
material sample that is 2.85% iron by mass. Analysis of the iron standard returns values of
2.75%, 2.89%, 2.77%, 2.81%, and 2.87%. Are the results of the new method significantly
different from the standard reference sample? (Hint: Use Confidence Interval)
a Assume that mitochondria are cylinders 8.00 um in length and 0.800 pm in diameter.
What is the volume of a single mitochondrion?
The volume of a cylinder is given by the expression:
V = n x y2 x h
Volume=

- This year, like many past years, you begin to feel very sleepy alter eating a large helping of Thanksgiving turkey. Some people attribute this sleepiness to the presence of the amino acid tryptophan in turkey. Tryptophan can be used by the body to produce serotonin, which can calm the brains activity and help to bring on sleep. a. What mass in grams of tryptophan is in a 0.25-lb serving of turkey? (Assume tryptophan accounts for 1.0% of the turkey mass.) b. What mass in grams of tryptophan is in 0.25 quart of milk?

It forms a spongy precipitate that settles slowly, carrying even very small suspended particles down with it, thereby removing all finely divided matter and most microbes. Part A The Ksp can be used to find the minimum concentration of hydroxide ions required to start the precipitation of Al(OH)3 given a concentration of aluminum ions, and thus determine the pH above which this precipitation occurs. Calculate this pH value if 4.40 lb of aluminum sulfate, Al2(SO4)3, is added to 2150 gallons of water (with a negligible change in volume).
