A 54.1 mg sample of sodium perchlorate contains radioactive chlorine-36 (whose atomic mass is 36.0 amu).
1. If 29.6% of the chlorine atoms in the sample are chlorine-36 and the remainder is naturally occurring nonradioactive chlorine atoms, how many disintegrations per second are produced by this sample?
The half-life of chlorine-36 is 3.0×105 yr.

At a fixed temperature, equal moles of N2 (g) and F2 (g) are mixed in a constant pressure container (the volume of the container changes in order to keep the pressure at a constant value). The N2 (g) and F2 (g) are allowed to react, producing NF3 (g):
N2 (g) + 3F2 (g) ? 2 NF3 (g)
If the initial volume of the container, before any reaction takes place, is 4.10 L, determine the volume of the container after the N2 (g) and F2 (g) have reacted to completion.
The final volume will be L

Laboratory question:
I have a solution of a known amount of Sulfuric acid as a catalyst. The reaction is a esterfication of the two reactants ethanol and acetic acid with known amounts, and the Product is ethyl acetate and water. When the reaction reach equilibrium, the purpose is to figure out how much acetic acid is left (still reactant). The only permissible method for this is titration with NaOH and find the amount unreacted acetic acid, but there is a problem, we also have the catalyst in the solution. How can we make a titration and figure out the amount of acetic acid ?

Consider an electrochemical cell involving the overall
reaction
2 AgBr(s) + Pb(s) → Pb2+(aq) + 2 Ag(s) + 2 Br–(aq)
Each half-reaction is carried out in a separate compartment. The
anion included in the lead half-cell is NO3–. The cation in the
silver half-cell is K+. The two half-cells are connected by a KNO3
salt bridge. If [Pb2+] = 1.0 M and [Br-] = 0.14 M, what is the emf
of the cell at 298 K?
Given:
AgBr(s) + e– → Ag(s) + Br–(aq) E° = +0.07 V.
Pb+2 + 2e– → Pb(s) E° = - 0.13 V.

If a 0.200 M solution of KOH is added to a solution containing 0.100 M Ni2+, 0.100 M Ce3+, and 0.100 M Cu2+, which metal hydroxide will precipitate first? Calculate the concentration of the first precipitated ion when the second soluble ion begins to precipitate. When the most soluble ion starts to precipitate, what is the concentration for the second soluble ion in the solution?
Ksp Ni(OH)2 = 6.0 X 10-16, Ksp Ce(OH)3 = 6.0 X 10-22, Ksp Cu(OH)2 = 4.8 X 10-20

Heptane and water do not mix, and heptane has a lower density
(0.684 g/mL) than water (1.00 g/mL). A 100 mL graduated cylinder
with an inside diameter of 3.200 cm contains 39.0 g of heptane and
32.0 g of water. Before we can determine the height of the liquid
column, we need to know the total volume of liquid in the cylinder.
Which equation expresses the total volume in terms of the volumes
of heptane and water?

There are 220 million motored vehicles in the USA, of which about 85% operating on gasoline-fired Otto engines. Gasoline can be assumed 100% octane (C8H18) with a heating value of 48,000 kJ/kg, specific gravity of 0.83, and price of $2.50/gallon. A typical vehicle uses 15% excess air in combustion, and is driven an average of 32 miles per day per vehicle, with an average fuel economy of 18 miles per gallon of gasoline. The averaged unburned Hydrocarbons, CO, and NOx, emissions amount to 0.3%, 0.05%, 0.05% of the exhaust gases respectively.
(a) Balance the combustion equation of C3H18 with 15% excess air, and fine the air-fuel ratio by mass.
(b) Estimate the total combustion air needed, carbon emission, and greenhouse gas CO2 generated from all gasoline engines of USA in Mton/year, and total sale of gasoline in USA in billion$/year.
(c) Estimate total emission of Pollutants: unburned HCs, CO, and NOx from mobile gasoline engines in USA per year.
