Sodium hypochlorite is the active ingredient in most household bleach products. One method of preparing this compound is as follows: Cl2(g) + 2N2OH(aq) → NaOCI (aq) + NaCl(aq) + H2O(1) In a certain experiment, 50.0 g chlorine was reacted with 50.0 g sodium hydroxide to yield 37.8 g sodium hypochlorite. (a) Calculate the theoretical yield (b) Calculate the percent yield.

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 250. mL sample of groundwater known to be contaminated with iron(II) chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: FeCl₂(aq) + 2 AgNO3(aq) → 2 AgCl(s) + Fe Fe(NO3)₂(aq) The chemist adds 85.0 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 7.2 mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of iron(II) chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. 0-8 X 6
This question has two parts and requires two answers. Consider the reaction 4 Fe + 3 02→ 2 Fe203 a) What is the theoretical yield, in grams, of iron(III) oxide if 20.0 g of iron are mixed with 10.5 grams of oxygen gas? b) What is the limiting reactant?
One way in which the useful metal copper is produced is by dissolving the mineral azurite, which contains copper(II) carbonate, in concentrated sulfuric acid. The sulfuric acid reacts with the copper(II) carbonate to produce a blue solution of copper(I1) sulfate. Scrap iron is then added to this solution, and pure copper metal precipitates out because of the following chemical reaction: Fe(s) + CuSO, (aa) - Cu(s) + FeSO (aq) Suppose an industrial quality-control chemist analyzes a sample from a copper processing plant in the following way. He adds powdered iron to a 400. ml. copper(II) sulfate sample from the plant until no more copper will precipitate. He then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate, and finds that it has a mass of 100. mg. Calculate the original concentration of copper(II) sulfate in the sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number.of significant digits.

4. A student does a reaction that forms Pb(NO3)2 (ag). The student boils off some of the water in a beaker until Pb(NO3)2 (s) crystals form. The student vacuum filters this solution to collect the crystals. Since some of the crystals remain in the beaker, the student squirts water from their wash bottle in the beaker and pours this over the filter paper in the vacuum apparatus. When the student goes to collect the crystals from the paper they find that there is none there. Explair what happened and how it can be corrected.
