In some tests to determine the BOD of a water sample, inorganic chemicals get oxidized and therefore contribute to the measured BOD. A water sample contains 40 mg/L of degradable organic waste with an average composition of C6H10O2 and kd=0.2 d.. Tt also contains Ю mL of Mn2. During the test, the Mn2 is all oxidized and precipitates as MnO2(s). For the manganese oxidation reaction, include O2 and H20 as reactants. What fraction of the measured BODs is attributable to the manganese?

For which one of the following reactions is the value of δh° rxn equal to δh° f for the product? a. 2 h2 (g) + o2 (g) → 2 h2o (l) b. n2 (g) + o2 (g) → 2 no (g) c. 2 h2 (g) + o2 (g) → 2 h2o (g) d. h2o (l) + 1/2 o2 (g) → h2o2 (l) e. none of the above

Salicylic acid is a very important acid. it is used to synthesize the aspirin by treating with acetic anhydride. a 0.2015-g sample of salicylic acid was dissolved in a 100.00-ml volumetric flask, and the solution was diluted to the mark. a 10-ml aliquot of this solution was titrated with standard naoh (0.01130 + 0.2% n) to a phenolphthalein faint pink color end point at 19.81 ml. (a) (calculate the normality of the salicylic acid solution used in the titration. (b) assuming the salicylic acid is pure, what is the equivalent weight of the salicylic acid? practice problems for the final exam (continued) (c) (calculate the inherent error in the determination of the equivalent weight you calculated in part (b). use the following absolute errors in the equipment /glassware when calculating the inherent error. 5.00-ml pipet: + 0.02 ml 100-ml volumetric flask: + 0.08 ml analytical balance: + 0.2 mg 25-ml buret: + 0.03 ml

Why do cells appear different in distilled water than they do in 10% salt water?
