The Handbook of Chemistry and Physics (http://openstaxcollege.org/l/16Handbook) gives solubilities of the following compounds in grams per 100 mL of water. Because these compounds are only slightly soluble, assume that the volume does not change on dissolution and calculate the solubility product for each. (a) BaSiF6, 0.026 g/100 mL (contains SiF62- ions) (b) Ce(IO3)4, 1.5102 g/100 mL (c) Gd2(SO4)3, 3.98 g/100 mL (d) (NH4)2PtBr6, 0.59 g/100 mL (contains PtBr62- ions)

According to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), waste material is classified as toxic and must be handled as hazardous if the lead concentration exceeds 5 mg/L. By adding chloride ion, the lead ion will precipitate as PbCl2, which can be separated from the liquid portion. Once the lead has been removed, the rest of the waste can be sent to a conventional waste treatment facility. How many grams of sodium chloride must be added to 500 L of a waste solution to reduce the concentration of the Pb2+ ion from 10 to 5 mg/L?

nitrous acid is estimated, c) What is the pH of the groundwater sample in which dichromate is oxidized to chromic ion by ethanol, which is simultaneously transformed to dissolved carbon dioxide? Modeling studies show that equilibrium is 1.75 x 107 M, dichromate ion is 7.3 x 10-2 M, chromic ion is 8.2 x 10°, ethanol is 6.8 x 102, and carbon dioxide is 6.4 x 10%. dr for the state of South Carolina, describe
