What are some of the key characteristics of unknown sample of an aqueous solution containing an ionic compound?
Specific questions:
1. Given that the cation is from Group 1A, what is the identity of the group 1A metal ion in your solution?
2. Given that the ionic compound contains either chloride or hydroxide, how can you determine which? (Two pieces of evidence are required and one must be related to solubility rules)
3. What is the concentration of your solution? (Your unknown sample is known to be about 1 M, but you need to determine the concentration to 3 significant figures using titration. You should plan ahead so that you know approximately what volume of your sample you will need in order to use approximately 25 mL of 0.100 M sulfuric acid for the titration).
I'm confused as to how I would go about figuring out these things when even actual information.

The enthalpy of combustion, ΔH, for benzoic acid,
C6H5COOH, is -3226 kJ/mol. When a sample of
benzoic acid was burned in a calorimeter (at constant pressure),
the temperature of the calorimeter and contents rose from
23.20°C to 28.40°C. The heat
capacity of the calorimeter and contents was 12.41 kJ/ °C. What
mass of benzoic acid was burned?

1. Calcium oxalate monohydrate, CaC2O4•H2O, is stable up to
~100˚C, but will release the incorporated water molecule when
heated to 300˚C, according to the following reaction:
CaC2O4•H2O(s) → CaC2O4(s) + H2O(g)
If a 4.1754 g sample of calcium oxalate monohydrate is heated to
300˚C, what should be the mass (g) of the resulting calcium
oxalate?
2. An unknown sample of ore with a mass of 506.1 g is allowed to
react with excess magnesium and ammonia, NH3, in order to analyze
for phosphate, PO43-, according to the following precipitation
reaction:
2PO43-(aq) + 2Mg2+(aq) + 2NH3(aq) + 2H2O(l) → Mg2(P2O7)(s) +
2NH3(aq) + 2OH-(aq) + H2O(l)
After the precipitated Mg2(P2O7) is carefully rinsed and dried, the
mass is determined to be 0.09870 mg.
Assuming all phosphorous originally present in the ore was in the
form of phosphate, what was the original mass (μg) of phosphorous
in the ore sample?
3. An unknown organic compound was produced by students in the
O-chem lab. According to their records, this compound should only
contain carbon and hydrogen atoms. A combustion analysis is
performed on the sample.
When 0.1727 g of the sample is burned in the presence of excess
oxygen, the magnesium perchlorate cartridge increases 0.24889 g and
the ascarite cartridge increases 0.53094 g.
What is the percent C (w/w) in the sample?
4. What is the percent H (w/w) in the sample?
5. What is the empirical formula for the unknown compound?

Ozone gas, O3 decomposes into O2 in presence of NO and gaseous O atoms The following data was obtained Determine the experimental rate law for the reaction given the following data and the value for the rate constant
O 3= 2.3 x 10^-4 atm NO = 1.6 x 10^-4 O = 1.5 x 10^-4 rate1 = 2.6 x 10-3
O3 = 2.3 x 10^-4 NO = .8 x 10^-4 O = 1.5 x 10^-6 rate 2 = 1.3 x 10^-3
O 3 = 4.6 x a0^-4 NO = 1.6 x 10^-4 O = 1.5 x 10^-6 rate 3 = 5.2 x 10^-3
O3 = 4.6 x 10^-4 NO = 1.6 x 10^-4 O = 3.0 x 10^-6 rate 4 = 5.2 x 10^-3

1. There is nothing like the smell of BBQ in the summertime. Many people use propane gas Barbeques to cook the perfect steak. Here is the reaction that is occurring while the steak sizzles on the grill:
C3H8(g) + O2(g) --> CO2(g) + H2O (g)
The balanced reaction has a DHorxn = -2217 kJ. If a steak must absorb 7.2x10-4 kJ to reach a perfect medium rare, and if only 15% of the heat produced by the barbeque is actually absorbed by the steak, what mass of H2O is emitted into the atmosphere when this steak is cooked? (Hint: don’t forget to balance the reaction)
