Find the mass in grams of sodium hydroxide that will be required to prepare a solution with a concentration of 0.500 mol·dm⁻³ in a 250 cm³ volumetric flask. [Round the answer to three decimal places. Do not type in the unit. Use a decimal point.] *
A geochemist measures the concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parsons and finds a concentration of
25.·gL−1
. The geochemist also measures the concentration of salt in several nearby non-isolated lakes, and finds an average concentration of
4.2·gL−1
.
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.

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.

- The carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l).
