4. If you expect the unknown acid molarities to be between 0.010 M and 0.20 M and the sodium hydroxide solution to be 0.050 M, what volume of unknown acid solution would you place into the flask? State your reasoning or assumptions that you make (perhaps typical of those given in question 3, perhaps not) and show your calculation.
Bonus. State two possible errors when using burets that would reduce the accuracy of your titration. Explain specifically whether the result would be a calculated acid molarity that is smaller than the actual value or a calculated acid molarity that is larger than the actual value.

3) The following “cycle of copper” experiment is performed in some general chemistry laboratories. The series of reactions starts with copper wire and ends with metallic copper. The steps are as follows:
I. A piece of copper wire of known mass is allowed to react with concentrated nitric acid, the products are copper(II) nitrate , nitrogen dioxide, and water.
II. The copper(II) nitrate is treated with a sodium hydroxide solution to form copper(II) hydroxide.
III. On heating, the copper(II) hydroxide decomposes to yield copper(II) oxide.
IV. The copper(II) oxide is combined with concentrated sulfuric acid to yield copper(II) sulfate.
V. Copper(II) sulfate is treated with excess solid zinc metal to form metallic copper.
VI. The remaining zinc metal is treated with hydrochloric acid, and metallic copper is filtered, dried, and weighed.
a. Write a balanced chemical equation for each step. Be sure to pay attention to phase labels.
b. Classify each reaction as a precipitation, acid-base, or redox reaction.
c. Assuming that a student started with 65.6 g of copper, calculate the theoretical yield for each step

The Ostwald process is used commercially to produce nitric acid, which is, in turn, used in many modern chemical processes. In the first step of the Ostwald process, ammonia is reacted with oxygen gas to produce nitric oxide and water. \(4NH_{3}(g)+5O_{2} --> 4NO+6H_{2}O(g)\) What is the maximum mass of H2O that can be produced by combining 72.0 g of each reactant?
