A rigid tank contains 61.5 g of chlorine gas (Cl2) at a temperature of 77°C and an absolute pressure of 6.00 × 105 Pa. Later, the temperature of the tank has dropped to 34°C and, due to a leak, the pressure has dropped to 3.90 × 105 Pa. How many grams of chlorine gas have leaked out of the tank? (The mass per mole of Cl2 is 70.9 g/mol.)

Suppose you made a copper-nickel cell where the copper was the cathode and the nickel was the anode. You add a 0.5000 M solution of copper nitrate on the cathode side and a 3.000 M solution of nickel nitrate on the anode side. What is the voltage of the cell under these conditions? The units are volts and use at least 4 significant digits in the answer. The error interval is 0.02 V.

How many grams of dipotassium succinate trihydrate (K2C4H4O4·3H2O, MW = 248.32 g/mol) must be added to 780.0 mL of a 0.0348 M succinic acid solution to produce a pH of 5.921? Succinic acid has pKa values of 4.207 (pKa1) and 5.636 (pKa2).
Succinic acid (H2C4H4O4) is a diprotic acid and the succinate ion (C2H4O42–) is the completely deprotonated form of succinic acid. The addition of the succinate ion to the solution results in a buffer. Since the desired pH of the solution is greater than pKa2 for succinic acid, we know that the solution contains a mixture of the succinate ion and the monoprotonated intermediate species (HC2H4O4–).

i. A two-level system has a ground level with four degenerate states and an excited level with two degenerate states at 450 cm−1 above the ground level. Please plot the ratio of the number of particles occupying the excited level to the number of particles occupying the ground level as function of temperature (Make sure that the end points and curvature are accurate but anything else can be qualitative).

As a chemist for an agricultural products company, you have just developed a new herbicide,"Herbigon," that you think has the potential to kill weeds effectively. A sparingly soluble salt, Herbigon is dissolved in 1 M acetic acid for technical reasons having to do with its production. You have determined that the solubility product Ksp of Herbigon is 8.00×10−6.
Although the formula of this new chemical is a trade secret, it can be revealed that the formula for Herbigon is X-acetate (XCH3COO, where "X" represents the top-secret cation of the salt). It is this cation that kills weeds. Since it is critical to have Herbigon dissolved (it won't kill weeds as a suspension), you are working on adjusting the pH so Herbigon will be soluble at the concentration needed to kill weeds. What pH must the solution have to yield a solution in which the concentration of X+ is 4.50×10−3M ? The pKa of acetic acid is 4.76.
