An unknown solution turned red litmus paper red, turned blue litmus paper blue, and didn’t conduct electricity. The solution is most likely… a Basic b Acidic c Neutral d Not enough information to determine

1. suppose a reaction mixture, when diluted with water, afforded 300 ml of an aqueous solution of 30 g of the reaction product malononitrile [ch2(cn)2], which is to be isolated by extraction with ether. the solubility of malononitrile in ether at room temperature is 20.0 g/100 ml, and in water is 13.3 g/100 ml. what weight of malononitrile would be recovered by extraction with (a) three 100-ml portions of ether and (b) one 300-ml portion of ether? suggestion: for each extraction, let x equal the weight extracted into the ether layer. in part (a), the concentration in the ether layer is x/100 and in the water layer is (30 x)/300; the ratio of these quantities is equal to k 20/13.3.

In an effort to address concerns about global warming, a power plant in portland,oregon is designed to take all of its exhaust gases from its boilers and recycle the co2 using the solvay process to make sodium hydrogen carbonate. the reaction is shown below. nh3(g) + h2o(l) + co2(g) + nacl(aq) → nahco3(aq) + nh4cl(aq) how many liters each of nh3 and co2 (both at stp) would be consumed to produce 3.00 kg of sodium bicarbonate? the volume of both nh3 and co2 would be

22. a flask containing 450 ml of 0.50 m h2so4 was accidentally knocked to the floor. how many grams of nahco, do you need to put on the spill to neutralize the acid according to the following equation: h2so4(aq)+2 nahcos(aq) na,so(aq) +2 h20()+2 co2(g) d) 38 g a) 2.3 g b) 9.5 g c) 19 g
