The solubility (i.e. the maximum molarity at equilibrium) of N2 gas in blood at 37oC under a nitrogen partial pressure of 0.80 atm is 5.6 x 10-4 mol.L-1. When swimming at large depth in the ocean, a diver breathes compressed air with a partial pressure of N2 equal to 4.0 atm. Henry’s law indicates that the solubility of N2 gas increases with pressure. Assume that the total volume of blood in the body is 5.0 L. Calculate the amount of N2 gas in the diver’s blood before diving. Calculate the amount of N2 gas in the diver’s blood as he is breathing compressed air with a partial pressure of N2 equal to 4.0 atm. Calculate the amount of nitrogen gas (in liters) that must be released when the diver returns to the surface of water, where the partial pressure of N2 is 0.80 atm.

What are the drift speeds of Li+, Na+, and K+ in water when a potential difference of 10 V is applied across a 1.00 cm conductivity cell? How long would it take an ion to move from one electrode to the other? In conductivity measurements it is normal to use alternating current: what are the displacements of the ions in centimeters during a half cycle of 1.0 kHz applied potential.

The experiment is: analyzing food products for vitamin C. "Determine the amount of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in different food products by oxidation- reduction titrimetry."
A student performed the experiment described in this module. She first standardized her DCP solution by preparing an ascorbic acid solution containing 46mg of reagent-grade ascorbic acid. Three 10.00mL samples of the ascorbic acid solution required an average of 25.7mL of titrant for the complete reaction.
1)calculate the mean molartity of the DCP solution.
The student titrated three 25-mL samples of a commercial orange "drink". These samples required an average of 14.2 mL of the DCP solution for a complete reaction.
2.) calculate the mass of ascorbic acid present in 25 mL of the orange drink
3.) calculate the number of milligrams of ascorbic acid present in 1 L of the orange drink.
Finally, the student used DCP titration to analyze the extract from the 4.00 g of fresh spinach. The titration required 23.2 mL of DCP solution
4) calculate the mass of ascorbic acid in 4.00 g of spinach assuming that all of the ascorbic acid in the spinach was contained in the extract
5.) which would supply more vitamin C a fresh spinach salad containing 100 g of spinach or a 4 oz glass of orange drink described above? one ounce equals approximately 30 mL
6.) would you expect the ascorbic acid content of spinach increase, descrease, or remain the same after the spinach has been steamed, prior to serving? briefly explain

2 NOCl(g) <=> 2 NO(g) + Cl2(g), K= 1.6E-5. Calculate the concentrations when:
a). 6.0 mol of NO and 2.0 mol of Cl2 in a 1.2-L flask
b). 2.2 mol of NOCl, 2.2 mol of NO, and 1.1 mol of Cl2 in a 1.0-L flask
c). 1.01 mol/L concentration of all three gases
Please show work and don't just solve the top problem. I need all three and I don't know how to correctly solve either of them!!

Calculate the ∆Hº (on a per mole basis) for the HCl/NaOH neutralization. You may assume that the specific heat and density of the resulting solution to be the same as water. Be sure to use the combined total volumes of HCl and NAOH when calculating the total mass for this reaction. Remember to take into account the moles of limiting reagent when calculating the ∆Hº on a per mole basis.
Exact Concentrations: HCl = .9637 NaOH = 1.016
Trial 1 : temp of HCl = 19 degrees C Temp of NaOH = 19 degrees C constant temp of HCl & NaOH = 24.5 degrees C
Trial 2 : temp of HCl = 20 degrees C Temp of NaOH = 20 degrees C constant temp of HCl & NaOH = 24 degrees C

In addition to mass balance, oxidation-reduction reactions must be balanced such that the number of electrons lost in the oxidation equals the number of electrons gained in the reduction. This balancing can be done by two methods: the half-reaction method or the oxidation number method. The half-reaction method balances the electrons lost in the oxidation half-reaction with the electrons gained in the reduction half-reaction. In either method H2O(l), OH?(aq), and H+(aq) may be added to complete the mass balance. Which substances are used depends on the reaction conditions.

In acidic solution, the nitrate ion can be used to react with a number of metal ions. One such reaction is
