Octane, C8H18, a primary constituent of gasoline, burns in air:
C8H18(ℓ) + 12 1/2 O2(g) → 8 CO2(g) + 9 H2O(ℓ)
A 1.00-g sample of octane is burned in a constant volume calorimeter. The calorimeter is in an insulated container with 1.20 kg of water. The temperature of the water and the bomb rises from 25.00 °C (298.15 K) to 33.21 °C (306.36 K). The heat required to raise the bomb’s temperature (its heat capacity), Cbomb, is 837 J/K. The specific heat of water is 4.184 J/g∙K. What is the heat of combustion per gram of octane? What is the heat of combustion per mole of octane?

You need to be able to get an answer of 2.14 x 10-7 M for part c.
A lead ion-selective electrode measured a potential of -33.9 mV when immersed in 50.00 mL of water from a polluted stream. Upon the addition of 0.5 mL of a 0.105 mM solution of Pb(NO3)2 the potential changed to -11.2 mV.
a) Write an equation for the response of this electrode, ignoring the response of any other elements (i.e., we will assume selectivity coefficients for non-lead species are all zero) (4 points).
b) Assuming β = 1 in the above equation, write expressions for the response of the electrode to the original sample and to the spiked sample (6 points).
c) Solve the equations you wrote in (b) to find [Pb2+] in the original sample (6 points).

I'm not understanding quite how to do this type of problem. The problem states: What is the enthalpy change produced by the reaction of 50.0 g Fe2O3 with 50.0 g Al according to the equation below?
Fe2O3(s) + 2Al(s) => Al2O3(s) + 2Fe(s) Delta H = -851.5 kJ
Please show me how to do this!

8- trace elements in the teeth of archeological speciment provides anthropologists with clus about the dite and diseases of ancient people . Porter et al (20020 measured the trace elements strontium from extracted teeth by atomic absorption spectroscopy. A series of solutions were preaperd, each containing 0.750 mg of dissolved tooth enamel. Varying volumes of 100.0 ng/ml Sr stock solution were added to each flask ,and each solution was diluted to a total constant volume of 10.0 ml The final result was a series of flasks containing the following concentration of added Sr.
flask Volume of Sr stock solut. added ,ml concent. of Sr after diluttion ng/ml Blank-concent signal
1 ? 0.00 28.0
2 ? 2.50 34.3
3 ? 5.00 42.8
4 ? 7.50 51.5
5 ? 10.0 58.6
a. suppose 5.00 mg of powdered tooth enamel is dissolved in ultra- pure HNO3 and diluted to 10.0 ml in volumetric glasswear. What volume of this solution must be delivered to each flask , in order to deliver 0.750 mg dissolved enamel to the flask? (show calculations)
b. The Sr standards in the table above were made by delivering volume aliquote of a 100.0 ng/ml Sr stock solution to each 10.0 ml flask . complete the table above to show what volume of Sr stock were added to each flask ,in order to produce the specific concentrations of added Sr?(please show calculations)
c. What type of standardization is being performed here? why is this type of standardization being used , rather that some alternative standardization?
d. Least -squares analysis of the data resulted in the plot shown , where y=3.136x+27.36 and R^2 =0.9973
calculate the concentration of Sr in flask.( show the plot from -10 -5 0 5 10)
e. calculate the Sr content in the original tooth enamel , in units of ppm=micro gram Sr/g enamel. ( please show complete calculation)
