As a chemist for an agricultural products company, you have just developed a new herbicide,"Herbigon," that you think has the potential to kill weeds effectively. A sparingly soluble salt, Herbigon is dissolved in 1 M acetic acid for technical reasons having to do with its production. You have determined that the solubility product Ksp of Herbigon is 9.50×10−6. Although the formula of this new chemical is a trade secret, it can be revealed that the formula for Herbigon is X-acetate (XCH3COO, where "X" represents the top-secret cation of the salt). It is this cation that kills weeds. Since it is critical to have Herbigon dissolved (it won't kill weeds as a suspension), you are working on adjusting the pH so Herbigon will be soluble at the concentration needed to kill weeds. What pH must the solution have to yield a solution in which the concentration of X+ is 6.00×10−3 M ? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.76.

12. An agricultural research company has developed two new types of soy bean seeds, call them "seed A" and "seed B". A study is conducted to determine which will produce a higher mean yield. To test the two types of seed, 20 similar plots of land were randomly placed into one of two groups. One group of ten plots was planted with "seed A", while the other ten plots were planted with "seed B". The yield of each field, in...

An agricultural products manufacturer's research and development division is testing a newly developed wheat fertilizer. Wheat is planted in several test areas (plots), which are in a controlled environment. Each area is randomly assigned a specific quantity of the fertilizer: either no fertilizer, a small amount, or a large amount of fertilizer. The amount of water and the temperature are carefully controlled at specified levels and monitored for each test area: each area is maintained at either 78 °F or...
