During a routine check of the fluoride content of Gotham City's water supply, the given results were obtained from replicate analyses of a single sample: 0.815 mg/L., 0.789 mg/L, 0.811 mg/L, 0.789 mg/L, and 0.815 mg/L. Determine the mean and 90% confidence interval for the average fluoride concentration in this sample. Report the mean and the confidence interval using the "real rules" for significant figures. mean: 0.804 90% confidence interval: 2.32 x10-4 Incorrect mg/L mg/L

Patients undergoing an upper gastrointestinal tract laboratory test are typically given an X-ray contrast agent that aids with the radiologic imaging of the anatomy. One such contrast agent is sodium diatrizoate, a nonvolatile water-soluble compound. A 0.378-m solution is prepared by dissolving 38.4 g sodium diatrizoate (NaDTZ) in.l.60 102 mL water at 3 1.2C (the density of water at 31.2C is 0.995 g/cm3). What is the molar mass of sodium diatrizoate? What is the vapor pressure of this solution if the vapor pressure of pure water at 31.2C is 34.1 torr?
(A) if both sentences are true,(B) if both sentences are false,(C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and(D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1. In the Winkler Titration Method, sodium thiosulfate is standardized against a known concentration of magnesium iodate. The normality (N) of a solution is always equal to its molarity (M). 2. In the experiment on determining the dissolved oxygen concentration of a water sample, the compound used to acidify the sample was hydrochloric acid. An acidic solution will have a pH greater than 7. 3. Radioactive wastes, like uranium, must be handled and disposed of according to special regulations designed to protect people and the environment. Nuclear power plants produce too much greenhouse gases due to the burning of uranium.
Which parameter is measured by determining the drop in dissolved oxygen in a sealed water or wastewater sample for a fixed number of days? microbial count COD BOD phosphorus nitrogen
(A) if both sentences are true, (B) if both sentences are false, (C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and (D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1. Water appears in nature in all three common states of matter. Water is a tasteless, odorless liquid at standard temperature and pressure. 2. The addition of salt in the distilling mixture made the water impure and saline. The addition of 5 drops of the silver nitrate solution into the distillate determines whether the distillate is impure or pure water. 3. The ideal electrical conductivity of totally pure water is 0.055 microSiemens, whereas typical deionized water has an electrical conductivity of 0.1 microSiemens. The freezing point of water at 1 atm is 100degC. 4. From the air, oxygen can slowly diffuse across the water’s surface from the surrounding atmosphere, or be mixed in quickly through aeration, whether natural or man-made. The aeration of water can be caused by wind (creating waves),…
Oceanic uptake of carbon dioxide is thus described:CO2 (g) + H2O ⇔ H2CO3, K = [H2CO3]/PCO2 = 3 x 10-2 M atm-1 H2CO3 ⇔ HCO3- + H+, K = [HCO3-][H+]/[H2CO3] = 9 x 10-7 moles/LHCO3- ⇔ CO32 - + H+, K = [CO32 -][H+]/[HCO3-] = 7 x 10-10 moles/LCharge balance equation:[H+] = [OH-] + [HCO3-] + 2[CO32 ] If the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere is 300 ppm, what is the pH of the ocean?

For the best fit line, use a smooth curve. "Mass of Solute per 100 mL of H2O," should be written on the y-axis (use increments of 2g for every box). "Temperature (°C)" should be written on the x-axis (use increments of 10 °C for every 2 boxes).
For the calculation of sd, shouldn't it be (0.97-1.09) and so on... because 0.97 = x and 1.09 = mean? and the formula for sd is squared of the summation of (x-mean)^2 divide by n?

Chemistry In an analysis of the content of carbohydrate present in a glycoprotein, the following results were found: 12.6, 11.9, 13.0, 12.7 and 12.5 g of carbohydrate per 100 g of protein. Taking into account that σ is unknown, the confidence interval for the average value at a 90% confidence level of the carbohydrate content is: Select one:to. 12.5 ± 0.4b. 12.5 ± 0.2c. 12.5 ± 0.5d. 12.5 ± 0.3
Calculate the concentration of sugar in this solution using the volume percent equation. For the purpose of this exercise, it can be assumed that the weight of the drink mix is 0.00 g. The volume of the solution is 3 and 1/3 cups. Calculate and record the volume percent (g/mL). (Note that 1 cup = 236 mL). Volume %=Volume of Solute / Volume of Solution ×100% I used 1/2 cup of granulated sugar and 1/2 tsp of the drink mix, and 3 cups of water. 2. Calculate the concentration of each diluted solution using the equation below and the volumes in Table.

One way to determine the hardness of a water sample is to precipitate the calcium out of solution as a carbonate. The net ionic reaction for this precipitation is: Ca2+(aq) + CO32-(aq) → CaCO3 (s) A 1.00 L sample of water is drawn from a Phoenix, AZ well and 0.534 g of calcium carbonate is recovered using the above reaction. What was the Ca2+ concentration of the original water sample in ppm? Show your work and include units. Hint: ppm stands for parts per million, and in the case of an aqueous solution, this is equivalent to mg/L.
