(a) Given a mixture of solid potassium nitrate, solid cobalt (III) chloride, and solid lithium bromide, can one of the three components be completely separated from the other two by filtration? (b) A mixture of 800 g potassium nitrate and 200g cobalt (III) chloride is mixed with 1000 g water and heated to 100°C. Will the mixture completely dissolve? Explain. (c) If the mixture from (b) is cooled to 0°C, will the crystals collected be 100% potassium nitrate? Explain.

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: FeCl,(aq) + 3 AgNO,(aq) 3 AgCl(s) + Fe(NO₂),(ag) The chemist adds 21.0 mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. He finds he has collected 3.3 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. e -12 D.P C P
1. How would each of the following procedural errors affect the value obtained for the molar volume of hydrogen gas? Explain your reasoning. (a) Some bubbles of hydrogen gas remained clinging to the sides of the tube. (b) Some magnesium metal was left un-reacted at the end of the experiment. (c) 7 mL of the HCl were used instead of 5 mL.
Hydrobromic acid dissolves solid iron according to the following reaction: Fe(s)+2HBr(aq)→FeBr2(aq)+H2(g) A.) What mass of HBr (in g) would you need to dissolve a 2.6−g pure iron bar on a padlock? Express your answer using two significant figures. B.)What mass of H2 would be produced by the complete reaction of the iron bar? Express your answer using two significant figures.
A student needs to prepare 250 mL of a 0.850 M aqueous solution of sucrose, C12H22O11(aq), which is used frequently in biological experiments.
A solution is formed by dissolving 2.000 kg of sugar (sucrose, density = 1587 kg·m−3) in 1.000 kg of water (density = 1000 kg·m−3). Assume that the volume of the solution formed is the sum of the sugar volume and the water volume. a) What is the final volume of the solution? b) What is the density of the solution?

2. For oxygen to dissolve in water, it needs to be soluble. Solubility is the ability of a substance to dissolve into a liquid. Oxygen can dissolve into water in multiple ways; namely, oxygen can diffuse from the atmosphere and dissolve in the water, and/or it can be introduced into water as a byproduct from the photosynthesis of aquatic plants. Wind helps with the first method, as it aerates the water, which helps the oxygen to dissolve. Since dissolved oxygen is needed by all forms of aquatic life, it is often used as one measure to determine the health of bodies of water. What do you think would happen if there was not enough dissolved oxygen in a lake? There would be no effect on the lake. Fish would not get enough oxygen and could die. The diversity of aquatic organisms would increase.
