A sample of KIO3 weighting 0.1040 grams was added to an HCl solution containing excess KI. The liberated I2 requried 34.6 mL of Na2S2O3 solution in the titration. calculate the molarity of the thiosulfate solution, using the overall equation ------> KIO3+6HCl+6Na2S2O3------>3S4O62-+I-+3H2O IKIO3:6Na2s2o3

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 1.50×10−3M ? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.76.
Express your answer numerically. Answer is not 2.46!

An experimental protocol calls for 25.4 mL of a solution in which the potassium ion concentration is 0.0872 M. How would you prepare this solution from pure solid potassium phosphate? (The solvent is water.)
(Please don’t forget to state how you would prepare the solution; don’t simply calculate the grams of potassium phosphate required.)

A chemical equation (even a balanced chemical equation) is not able to tell us how the reaction actually occurs. However, we can predict the rate law of a reaction, if we propose a plausible reaction mechanism. Consider the mechanism proposed for the decomposition reaction A 2 B + C, and understand the rate law from the molecular view.
(a) Derive the possible rate law based on mechanism (I). step 1: A k1 B + X slow step 2: X k2 B + C fast
(b) Derive the possible rate law based on mechanism (II). step 1: A k1 k−1 C + M fast step 2: M k2 2 B slow
(c) Comparing to the rate law in Question 1 (or Question 2), which mechanism is plausible for the decomposition reaction, (I) or (II) ?
