The Philippine Toxic and Hazardous Wastes Act places limits on the quantities of toxic substances thatmay be discharged into the sewerage system. Guidelines on hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) limits the dischargeamount to just 0.50 mg/L. If an industry dumps hexavalent chromium in the form of potassium dichromate(K2Cr2O7), what is the maximum allowable concentration of hexavalent chromium in molesper liter of sewage water?
if I were to separate Bi3+ and Co2+, can I do that by adding H2S? So that Bi3+ would precipitate? What is the chemical reaction that would happen.
A student is given an antacid tablet that weighs 5.9320 g. The tablet is crushed and 4.9780 g of the antacid is added to 200. mL of simulated stomach acid. It is allowed to react and then filtered. It is found that 25.00 mL of this partially neutralized stomach acid required 13.5 mL of a NaOH solution to titrate it to a methyl red end point. It takes 29.0 mL of this NaOH solution to neutralize 25.00 mL of the original stomach acid.
How much of the stomach acid (in mL) has been neutralized in the 25.00 mL sample that was titrated?
