The ethyl acetate concentration in an alcoholic solution was determined by diluting a 10.00-mL sample to 100.00 mL. A 20.00-mL portion of the diluted solution was refluxed with 40.00 mL of 0.04672 M KOH:CH3COOC2H5 + OH- → CH3COO- + C2H5OHAfter cooling, the excess OH2 was back-titrated with 3.41 mL of 0.05042 M H2SO4. Calculate theamount of ethyl acetate (88.11 g/mol) in the original sample in grams
The distribution ratio of iodine between an organic solvent and water is 8.00. If 50.0 mL of0.100 M aqueous iodine is shaken with 200 mL of the organic solvent until equilibrium isreached, how many milliliters of 0.0600 M Na2S2O3 is required to titrated a 25.0 mL aliquot ofthe organic phase?
A standard CaCO3 solution is prepared by dissolving 0.4193g in enough dilute HCl to effect solution and then diluted to 500ml solution. A 25.00ml aliquot requires 23.62ml EDTA solution for titration. A 25.00ml water sample determined for total hardness, requires 8.45ml of the EDTA solution using Eirochrome Black T indicator. Calculate the total hardness in the water sample expressed in ppm CaCO3.
A tea bag containing 15 grams of tea leaves with 0.7% of caffeine was used in solid-liquid extraction with 200ml of distilled water followed by liquid-liquid extraction using DCM.

Write the involved chemical reactions for this: An EDTA solution was prepared by dissolving approximately 4 g of the disodium salt in approximately 1Lof water. An average of 42.35 mL of this solution was required to titrate 50.00-mL aliquots of a standard that contained 0.7682 g of MgCO3 per liter. Titration of a 25.00-mL sample of mineral water at pH 10 required 18.81 mL of the EDTA solution. A 50.00-mL aliquot of the mineral water was rendered strongly alkaline to precipitate the magnesium at Mg(OH)2. Titration with a calcium-specific indicator required 31.54 mL of the EDTA solution.

A sample of anhydrous NaHCO3 (FM = 84.007) is suspected to be contaminated with eitherNaOH (FM = 39.997) or Na2CO3 (FM = 105.989). To verify the suspicion, a 0.7483 g sample was dissolved to prepare a 50.00 mL solution, and a 10.00 mL aliquot was taken to prepare a 100 mL solution, where 25.00 mL was analyzed using double flask method. If the sample requires 0.45 mL of standard 0.0125 N HCl to reach the phenolphthalein endpoint and 35.95 mL to reach the bromcresol green endpoint, calculate the percentage composition (in %w/w) of all the basic components in the sample.
John wanted to determine the protein content of his blood. To do so, he obtained 1.00 mL of blood, and diluted it to 10.00 mL. From that solution, he subjected 1.00 mL to Kjeldahl analysis. After digestion, the liberated NH3 was distilled in a flask containing exactly 25.00 mL of 0.0150 M H3BO3. Titration requires 5.85 mL of standard 0.0150 M NaOH to reach the desired endpoint. If a typical blood sample contains 15.45 g N per 100 g protein, calculate the protein content (in g/mL) in the sample of John’s blood.
why is it necessary to test the ph? PROCEDURE To a six inch test tube was added thiamine hydrochloride (0.65 g), followed by water (2mL). The mixture was gently shaken until homogeneous, and then ethanol (7.5 mL)was added. Finally, sodium hydroxide (10%, 1.5 mL) was added and the mixture wasgently stirred to ensure complete mixing.Benzaldehyde (3.8 mL) was then added at room temperature in one portion with gentlestirring. The pH of the resulting reaction mixture was determined and adjusted to >10by dropwise addition of 10% sodium hydroxide.
