What is a drying agent? When do you use it? What is the drying agent used in the lab? How much drying agent do you use? It has been suggested that drying agents can be collected after an experiment and the hydrated salt heated in an oven to drive off the water. The recycled drying agent can then be used again for another experiment. Is this a good idea? Give advantages and disadvantages of this proposal.

1) calculate the [OH-] of a solution having a [H3O+]=2.85x10-6M.
2) A solution is tested with a series of indicatores. the solution turns blue when bromcresol green is added, it turns purple when bromcresol purple is added, and its colorless when phenolphthalein is added. what is the estimated pH of this solution?
3) how does a pH indicator work? provide an equilibrium equation to illustrate your answer.

For the reaction 2 A(aq) <---> B(aq) + C(aq), the standard Gibbs free enthalpy change is 1.69 kJ at 25oC. The initial concentration of A(aq) is 0.549 M, the initial concentration of B(aq) is 0.327 M, and the initial concentration of C(aq) is 0.234 M. What would be the concentration of A(aq) (in mol/L) once we attain equilibrium (we are still at 25oC)?
