By reading the scientific literature, you discover that sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), a surfactant emitted by one of the factories, can be detected using a colorimetric method. If SDS is present in the sample, it will react with specific chemicals added to the sample and blue color will appear. What instrument could you use to measure the blue color intensity? A colorimeter A turbidity meter A scale A titrator

The calcium ions in human blood serum are necessary for coagulation (Figure 15.5). Potassium oxalate, K2C2O4, is used as an anticoagulant when a blood sample is drawn for laboratory tests because it removes the calcium as a precipitate of CaC2O4H2O. It is necessary to remove all but 1.0% of the Ca2+ in serum in order to prevent coagulation. If normal blood serum with a buffered pH of 7.40 contains 9.5 mg of Ca2+ per 100 mL of serum, what mass of K2C2O4 is required to prevent the coagulation of a 10 mL blood sample that is 55% serum by volume? (All volumes are accurate to two significant figures. Note that the volume of serum in a 10-mL blood sample is 5.5 mL. Assume that the KSp value for CaC2O4 in serum is the same as in water.) Figure 15.5 Anticoagulants can be added to blood that will combine with the Ca2+ ions in blood serum and prevent the blood from clotting. (credit: modification of work by Neeta Lind)

Refer to Appendix J for solubility products for calcium salts. Determine which of the calcium salts listed is most soluble in moles per liter and which is most soluble in grams per liter.
Consider the following two acids: In two separate experiments the pH was measured during the titration of 5.00 mmol of each acid with 0.200 M NaOH. Each experiment showed only one stoichiometric point when the data were plotted. In one experiment the stoichiometric point was at 25.00 mL added NaOH, and in the other experiment the stoichiometric point was at 50.00 mL NaOH. Explain these results. (See Exercise 113.)
What acid-base indicators, shown in Figure 18.24 would be suitable for the neutralization reaction whose titration curve is shown in Figure 18.30?Why?
Nickel(II) formate [Ni(HCO2)2] is widely used as a catalyst precursor and to make metallic nickel. It can be prepared in the general chemistry laboratory by treating nickel(II) acetate with formic acid (HCO2H). Ni(CH3CO2)2(aq) + 2 HCO2H(aq) Ni(HCO2)2(aq) + 2 CH3CO2H(aq) Green crystalline Ni(HCO2)2 is precipitated after adding ethanol to the solution. (a) What is the theoretical yield of nickel(II) formate from 0.500 g of nickel(II) acetate and excess formic acid? (b) Is nickel(II) formate paramagnetic or diamagnetic? If it is paramagnetic, how many unpaired electrons would you expect? (c) If nickel(II) formate is heated to 300 C in the absence of air for 30 minutes, the salt decomposes to form pure nickel powder. What mass of nickel powder should be produced by heating 253 mg of nickel(II) formate? Are nickel atoms paramagnetic?
Sodium chloride is listed in the solubility rules as a soluble compound. Therefore, the Ksp value for NaCl is infinite. Is this statement true or false? Explain.
A student was asked to identify a compound. In an effort to do so, he first dissolved the compound in water. He found that no precipitate formed when hydrochloric acid was added, but when H2S was bubbled into this acidic solution, a precipitate formed. Which one of the following could be the precipitate? a PbS b MnS c CdS d Ag2S
