Commercial club soda is produced by pressurizing water with 10 atmo- spheres of CO2. Find the value of KH for CO2 on the net or in the library, and calculate how much CO2 is in a 12 fl. oz. glass of club soda. When the CO2 reverts to the gas phase (as it eventually will in your digestive system), figure out how much volume it occupies at physiological conditions (37o C and 1 atm). Then contemplate burping.

A protein solution was placed in an analytic centrifuge and spun
until equilibrium was reached. The measurement was then repeated.
But it was realized, too late, that prior
to the second run, the protein had been denatured. The average size
of a denatured protein is larger than that of a native, compact
protein. (a) Do you expect the distribution of molecules to be the
same, at equilibrium, for the two different runs? Explain. (b) The
time that it takes to reach equilibrium depends on the
sedimentation constant of the molecules. Which run will reach
equilibrium faster, the one with the native protein, or the one
with the denatured protein? Explain how you imagine the
sedimentation process of the two molecules.

Here are some questions and their answers. I would appreciate it if someone could explain to me step by step how to get the answer?
1) A student pipets 25 mL of propanoic acid from a stock container labeled 0.18 M propanoic acid. The student then dilutes the 25 mL to 100 mL with distilled water. He labels the bottle of 100 mL of propanoic acid with what concentration? The answer for this is 0.045M propanoic acid, but can someone show step by step how to get to this answer?
2) Which of the following three salts would be acidic if
dissolved in water: I. KCN II. NH4Br III. C2H5NH3Cl
answer: II and III only (how and why???)

Using atomic absorption, 0.0105 grams of copper sulfate pentahydrate were dissolved in a 100 mL volumetric flask and diluted to mark to make a 100 ug/mL solution. An unknown was made by placing an unknown amount of the above stock solution in a 100 mL volumetric flask and diluting to mark. The unknown gave an absorbance of 5.809 mg/L. How many mL of stock was used to make this unknown? The answer should be between 1 and 10 mL
