No other data provided

3. The cations on an exchangeable site of a 40 g soil were displaced by repeatedly washing by a salt and found to be 40 mg Ca+2, 11.5 mg Na+1, 39 mg K+1, 12 mg Mg+2, and 9 mg Al+3. The pH of the soil was 5.0. Calculate the CEC (cmolc/kg), percentage base saturation (PBS) and percent acidic saturation (PAC) per kg of the soil.

4. A give soil has a CEC of 12.50 cmol of charge per kg of soil. If 70%, 15%, 10% and 5% of the CECis occupied by Ca+2, K+1, Mg and Na+1 , respectively, calculate the weight (grams) of Ca, K, Mg and Na in the soil.

5. A given soil contains the following colloids: 1.0% humus (CEC=200), 30% kaolinite (CEC=5), 5%smectite (montmorillonite) (CEC=80), 10% illite (CEC=20), 5% mica (CEC=70) and 49% sesquioxides (CEC=2). Calculate the CEC of the soil? Which colloids contributed the most and which contributed the least? (All CEC are in molc/kg soil).

6. Calculate the amount of pure CaCO3that could theoretically neutralize the H+ in one-year acid rain if a 1-hectare (ha) site received 200 mm of rain per year and the average pH of the rain was 5.0.

7. Calculate the pH and pOH of a soil with the following H+ concentrations: (a) 0.0000001M (b) 0.00001M (c) 0.005M? Which soil is relatively most acidic? Most basic?

8. Determine the calcium carbonate equivalent (CCE) of the following compounds: (amount that has the same neutralizing value as 100 g pure CaCO3) (a) KOH (b) Mg(OH)2 (c) and CaMg(CO3)2.

9. How many grams of limestone with a CaCO3 equivalent of 100% would you need to apply to an acidic soil with 85% exchangeable Al saturation to reduce it to 10%? The CEC of the soil is 12.5cmolc/kg.

10. How many grams of gypsum (CaSO4.2H2O) would you need to reclaim a sodic soil with an exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) of 80% to reduce to it to 50%? The CEC of the soil is 12.5cmolc/kg.

A suspension of 4-aminophenol (1.0 equivalent) in water (1 mL of water for every 2.7 mmol of 4- aminophenol) is heated at 65 °C to 75 °C for 5 minutes with stirring. Acetic anhydride (1.5 equivalents) is added, and the reaction is stirred for 10 minutes at 65 °C to 75 °C, and then an additional 10 minutes at room temperature. At this point, the crude target product begins to slowly precipitate from the solution. You can assume that your limiting reagent has been completely consumed.

Your target mass of acetaminophen is 2.00 g. Based on your target mass, answer the questions below. Enter all quantities accurate to three significant figures. For liquid reagents, enter a volume in millilitres. For solid reagents, enter a mass in grams.

a. What quantity of 4-aminophenol do you need to start with? ____________

b. What quantity of water do you need to use as the solvent? ____________

c. What quantity of acetic anhydride do you require? ____________

d. What mass of purified product would be isolated to give an experimental yield of 76.80?

NOTE: I only need help with part b and c.


Here are the answers for part “a” and “d”:

a) 1.44 g

d) 1.57 g

The following is a list of drugs. For this assignment, use any resources available to you to find the structures and the pKa of these drugs. Identify the functional groups on each drug that will readily ionize under the appropriate pH conditions. Finally, determine the degree of ionization of the drug at physiological pH (7.4).

  • MDMA
  • Amphetamine
  • Butalbital
  • Hydrocodone
  • Carisoprodol

I understand how to find the functional groups. I need help understanding how to calculate the degree of ionization. With the explanation of at least one of the drugs I should be able to finish the other drugs on my own. Thank you in advance!

The active ingredients of an antacid tablet contained only magnesium hydroxide and aluminum hydroxide. Complete neutralization of a sample of the active ingredients required 48.5mL of 0.187 M hydrochloric acid. The chloride salts from this neutralization were obtained by evaporation of the filtrate from the titration; they weighed 0.4200g. What was the percentage by mass of magnesium hydroxide in the active ingredients of the antacid tablet?
