A sample of pure water was spiked with 0.670 ng/mL silver ion. Ten replicate determinations of the spiked water sample gave 0.680, 0.660, 0.637, 0.623, 0.664, 0.644, 0.648, 0.652, 0.630, and 0.615 ng/mL silver ion. Determine the mean percent recovery of the spike and the detection limit (in ng/mL) of the analytical method used for silver ion determination.

Let’s compare two monoprotic acids: one strong (nitric, HNO3, pKa = -1.60) and one weak (acetic, CH3COOH, pKa = 4.79).
a. [4 points] Sketch an alpha diagram for each of the acids.
b. [6 points] Use your alpha diagram to predict the percentage of undissociated acid for each at the following pH values: 0.1, 3, 4.3, 6, and 13. After estimating the fractions with your diagram, check your values by calculating the exact value.
c. [4 points] Explain the difference in pKa values (and the percentage dissociated in parts a and b) for nitric acid and acetic acid. In your explanation, include and underline the following terms: pH, H+ concentration, strong/weak acid, and Le Chatelier’s Principle.

Butane liquid and vapor coexist at 370.0K and 14.35 bar. The densities of the liquid and vapor phases are 8.128 mol-L^-1 and 0.6313 mol-L^-1, respectively. Use the van der Waals equation, the Redlich-Kwong equation, and the Peng-Robinson equation to calculate these densities. Take alpha = 16.44 bar-L^2-mol^-2 and beta = 0.07245 L-mol^-1 for the Peng-Robinson equation.

1.) Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) were introduced as refrigerants in the 1930s, replacing other gases that were toxic and corrosive. How do the molecular shape and polarity of CFCs contribute to the many desirable qualities they have as refrigerants? Given that they are such desirable refrigerants, why are they banned? What chemistry is involved? How has their molecular shape and polarity had harmful effects on the atmosphere?

Now that the acid has been standardized and you know it is 0.2496 M H2SO4, you perform the actual experiment as follows:
A 3.100-g sample of meat is subjected to Kjeldahl analysis. The
liberated NH3(g) is absorbed by adding 50.00 mL of H2SO4(aq), which
is more than enough. The excess acid requires 19.90 mL of 0.5510 M
NaOH for its complete neutralization.
What is the percentage of protein in the meat?
