Zinc is to be used as an internal standard for the polarographic analysis of thallium. A standard solution containing twice the concentration of zinc as Thallium has a diffusion current of 1.89 µA for Ti and 3.50 µA for Zn. A 10.0g alloy was dissolved in 500 mL, 25 mL of this solution was mixed with 25 mL of 1.0 x 10-3 M Zn 2+ solution. The diffusion currents of this final solution are 18.2µA for Tl+ and 14.5µA for Zn+. Calculate % Ti in the sample analysed
In a beaker 20mL of 0.5M Ca(OH)2 and 80mL of 0.5M CH3COOH are mixed and then this mixture is added on 2g of active coal. After waiting for about 20 minutes the solution is filtered and the filter is titrated by 1M NaOH solution in the presence of an indicator. 10mL of the NaOH solution has been used. Calculate the amount of acetic acid adsorbed per gram of the coal in moles. Explain all the steps and reactions of the experimental process by your own comments.

A soil sample taken from a hill reveals that soil solution in the top 30 cm of soil contains 900 micromoles Ca/L. Imagine that the grass growing on this hill has a water use efficiency of 400 g H20/g dry matter. Calcium is considered to be sufficient when between 1-2% of the dry matter. Calculate the calcium content in the soil's dry matter and determine if the level is sufficient.
