Calcium in a sample solution is determined by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). A stock solution of calcium is prepared by dissolving 1.834 g CaCl, 2H,O in water and diluting to 1 litre. From this stock solution, the second stock solution is prepared by the dilution factor of 10. Three standard solutions of calcium are prepared from the second stock solution with the following dilution factor: 20 (first standard solution), 10 (second standard solution) and 5 (third standard solution). A blank solution is prepared as well. Absorbance signals of AAS are as follows: 1.5 (blank solution), 10.6 (first standard solution), 20.1 (second standard solution), 38.5 (third standard solution), 29.6 (sample solution). (Molar mass; Ca 40.00 g mol-1, CI = 35.45 g mol-, o 16.00 g mol-, H = 1.00 g mol-) a. Construct ONE (1) plot that could be used to represent the calibration curve. b. From the plot of Q1a, determine the amount of calcium in parts per million.

Without consulting your textbook, list and explain the main postulates of the kinetic molecular theory for gases. How do these postulates help us account for the following bulk properties of a gas: the pressure of the gas and why the pressure of the gas increases with increased temperature; the fact that a gas tills its entire container; and the fact that the volume of a given sample of gas increases as its temperature is increased.
Many over-the-counter antacid tablets are now formulated using calcium carbonate as the active ingredient, which enables such tablets to also be used as dietary calcium supplements. As an antacid for gastric hyperacidity, calcium carbonate reacts by combining with hydrochloric acid found in the stomach, producing a solution of calcium chloride, converting the stomach acid to water, and releasing carbon dioxide gas (which the person suffering from stomach problems may feel as a “burp”). Write the unbalanced chemical equation for this process.
On Easter Sunday, April 3, 1983, nitric acid spilled from a tank car near downtown Denver, Colorado. The spill was neutralized with sodium carbonate: 2HNO3(aq)+Na2CO3(aq)2NaNO3(aq)+H2O(l)+CO2(g) a. Calculate H for this reaction. Approximately 2.0 104 gal nitric acid was spilled. Assume that the acid was an aqueous solution containing 70.0% HNO3 by mass with a density of 1.42 glcm3. What mass of sodium carbonate was required for complete neutralization of the spill, and what quantity of heat was evolved? (Hf for NaNO3(aq) = 467 kJ/mol) b. According to The Denver Post for April 4, 1983, authorities feared that dangerous air pollution might occur during the neutralization. Considering the magnitude of H, what was their major concern?
Ethanol, C2H5OH, is a gasoline additive that can be produced by fermentation of glucose. C6H12O62C2H5OH+2CO2 (a) Calculate the mass (g) of ethanol produced by the fermentation of 1.000 lb glucose. (b) Gasohol is a mixture of 10.00 mL ethanol per 90.00 mL gasoline. Calculate the mass (in g) of glucose required to produce the ethanol in 1.00 gal gasohol. Density of ethanol = 0.785 g/mL. (c) By 2022, the U. S. Energy Independence and Security Act calls for annual production of 3.6 1010 gal of ethanol, no more than 40% of it produced by fermentation of corn.
