Question
You are making double-decker sandwiches; each sandwich consists of 3 slices of bread, 2 chicken
slices, and 4 tomato slices.
Suppose that you have 84 slices of bread, 60 chicken slices, and 108 tomato slices.

- 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 cadmium chloride, which would react with silver nitrate solution like this: CdCl2(aq)+2AgNO3(aq)→2AgCl(s)+CdNO32(aq). The chemist adds 51.0mM silver nitrate solution to the sample until silver chloride stops forming. She then washes, dries, and weighs the precipitate. She finds she has collected 8.9mg of silver chloride. Calculate the concentration of cadmium chloride contaminant in the original groundwater sample. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.arrow_forwardI only need parts B and D, thank you!

(d) How many atoms of each remaining element would remain unreacted in the change described in (c)?arrow_forward4. In this experiment, ethanol was selected to purify benzoin on Day 1. However, alcohols are inappropriate solvents for recrystallizing compounds containing carboxylic acids. One side reaction is "Esterification" that can occur by placing COOH and OH groups together upon heating. If 3.5 grams of Terephthalic acid and 3 mL methanol undergo esterification, (a) what is the limiting reagent? (b) Predict the grams of the two end products: dimethyl terephthalate and water assuming Esterification is driven to completion. Show calculations. Hint: you can find the grams of methanol through its density.arrow_forward
- A chemist invents a new combustion analysis instrument that uses less O2(g) which saves money on each analysis. The improvement is that instead of CO2(g) being formed and trapped, CO(g) is formed and trapped. H2O (g) is also formed and trapped when substances that contain hydrogen are analyzed.(a) The chemist places 2.184 g of an unknown compound of carbon and hydrogen in the new analyzer. 4.627 g of CO (g) and 1.795 g of H2O (g) are produced. Find the empirical formula for the compound.(Molar masses (g/mol): CO = 28.0104, H2O = 18.015) (b) Despite the best efforts of the chemist, the molar mass of the compound cannot be determined (using this method). Clearly explain why this prevents the determination of the molecular formulaarrow_forwardBe sure to answer all parts. TCDD, also called dioxin (C H,Cl,O2, molar mass 322.0 g/mol), is a potent poison. The average lethal dose in humans is estimated to be 3.0 x 10- mg per kg of body weight. (a) How many grams constitute a lethal dose for a 91-kg individual? (b) How many molecules of TCDD does this correspond to? (a) X 10 g dioxin (b) x 10 moleculesarrow_forwardThe sample is analyzed and found to contain three elements, C, H and O. A 2.147 g sample of the compounds burns in O2(g) to produce 4.297 g of CO2(g) and 1.757 g of H2O(g). (a) Calculate the moles of C in the sample. (b) Calculate the moles of H in the sample. (c) Calculate the moles of O in the sample. (d) Determine the empirical formula for the compound.arrow_forward
