How to calculate the weight percent Na2CO3 in impure base sample???
I did my calculations but it somehow doesnt make sense
First we find the moles of HCl
=0.1M HCl x volume of HCl used to titrate
=0.1M x 10.5mL HCl
=1.05 mol HCl
The ratio between Na2CO3 and Hcl is 1:2
Moles Na2CO3
= moles of HCl/2
=1.05mol HCl/2
=0.525mol Na2CO3
Mass Na2CO3
= moles of Na2CO3 x 105.9906 g/mol
=0.525 mol Na2CO3 x 105.9906 g/mol
=55.65 g
% = mass of Na2CO3 x100/mass of sample from the impure solid
=55.65g x 100/ 0.1328g = 41905.1205 ???
What did I do wrong??? (do I need to include the fact that that the impure base was first mixed with 25 mL of distilled water??? The HCl used is 0.1M for titrate to its endpoint)

1) A power plant with an efficiency of 65% combusts 500,000 metric tons (MT) of anthracite coal per year to generate electricity. It has been established that this type of coal has the capacity to generate electrical energy at 19 GJ/MT.
a) How much energy in GJ (giga joules) does this plant generate in one year?
b) Estimate the annual emissions of criteria pollutants including SO2, NOx, PM and greenhouse gases including CO2 and CO using the appropriate emission factors given in the below table.
2) The Power Company has recommended a plant conversation to switch to using natural gas as fuel to generate the same amount of energy. Your firm has been asked to review the economics and perform and sensitivity analysis for the proposed switch and make a recommendation to the regional Utility Board of Directions. If the natural gas to be used has an energy capacity of 43 MJ/m3 (mega joules per cubic meter of gas)
a) Estimate the volume of natural gas needed in m3/yr.
b) Calculate the annual emissions of criteria pollutants including SO2, NOx, PM and greenhouse gases including CO2 and CO using the appropriate emissions factors given in the below table.

3) The NG plant conversion is estimated to cost $25 million. Given that the cost of Anthracite coal is $750/MT and natural gas is $15/m3 calculate the plant operating costs per year and the annual fuel cost difference for switching to natural gas. Additionally, it has been determined that the cap and trade program for SO2 reduction will provide a credit benefit for $150/MT-SO2 reduced. Also, the plant is looking ahead and planning for the implementation of a similar cap and trade program similar to the European model for CO2 emissions. The expected credit benefit for CO2 emission reduction will be market based and can range from $100 to $300/MT-CO2 reduced. Determine the NPV, payout and rate of return for the plant conversion project incorporating the capital an operating costs and emissions program credit for SO2 with a 4% interest rate. If the carbon cap and trade system is implemented, how does that change the economic outcomes?
Based on the emission estimates and costs and benefits, what is your recommendation to the utility board?

2. How is the Beer’s Law equation similar to that of a straight line? Explain each component using the letter of the component and using a set of your experimental values. BCP: 0.015M

Methane is burning with minimum amount of air to form the stable products. The premixed methane-air mixture is filled in a leak-proof spherical vessel at an initial pressure of 1 bar and 298 K. The vessel is well insulated to avoid thermal energy interaction with the surroundings.The combustible mixture is ignited at the centre of the vessel using an electrical spark. The energy added to the mixture for ignition is negligible. During the combustion process, the pressure of the combustion chamber increased due to the energy released by the fuel. Estimate the peak pressure that is achieved inside the vessel at the end of complete combustion without any dissociation of products. Both the reactants and products are in gas phase.
