Maleic acid is a diprotic acid with ionization constants a1=1.20×10−2 and a2=5.37×10−7 . Calculate the pH of a 0.296 M potassium hydrogen maleate ( KHM ) solution.

Apeak with a retention time of 407 s has a width at half-height (w1/2) of 7.6 s. a neighboring peak is eluted 17 s later with a w1/2 of 9.4 s. a compound that is known not to be retained was eluted in 2.5 s. the peaks are not baseline resolved. how many theoretical plates would be needed to achieve a resolution of 1.5?

For each of the compounds below, show that the charges on the ions add up to zero. a. kbr b. cao c. li(2)o d. cacl(2) e. alcl(3)

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.
