In the common process for the manufacture of nitric acid, sodium nitrate is treated with aq. sulphuric acid containing 95% H2SO4. In order that the resulting "niter cake" may be fluid; it is desirable to use sufficient acid so that there will be 34% H2SO4 by wt in the final cake. This excess H2SO4 will actually be in combination with the Na2SO4 in the cake, forming NaHSO4, although for purposes of computation it may be assumed to be free acid. The cake will contain 1.5% water and the reaction will go to completion, but 2% of the HNO3 formed will remain in the cake. Assume that the NaNO3 used is dry and pure. Calculate per 100 kg of NaNO3 charged: (a) wt and % composition of the niter cake (b) wt of aqueous acid to be used (c) wt of water vapor and nitric acid distilled from the niter cake.

Suppose you have a soil that is made up of 10% organic matter with CEC = 200 cmol/kg, 40% kaolinitewith CEC = 10 cmol/kg, and 50% vermiculite with CEC = 100 cmol/kg.1- Calculate the overall CEC of the soil by taking a weighted average of the three soil components.2- What percentage of the overall CEC is contributed by the organic matter? How does that numbercompare to the 10% of the soil itself that is organic?

A 0.512 g sample of a commercial phosphate detergent was ignited at a red heat to destroy the organic matter. The residue was taken up in hot HCl, which converted the P to H3PO4. The phosphate was precipitated as MgNH4PO4.6H2O by addition of Mg2+ followed by aqueous NH3. After being filtered and washed the precipitate was converted to Mg2P2O7 by ignition at 1000 0C and the residue weighed 0.1151g. (a) What is the Gravimetric Factor to convert Mg2P2O7 to P? (b) Calculate the percent P in the sample could you type it out please

A 0.2500-g of dry CaCO3 was completely dissolved into a solution of 5-mL conc. HCl and 50-mL distilled water in an erlemeyer flask. The resulting solution was boiled for 5 minutes to expel CO2 from the reaction, and then it was cooled to room temperature and the solution was transferred in a 500-mL volumetric flask filled to volume by rinsing the erlenmeyer flask and combining all the washings to fill the mark. A 5.0-mL aliquot of the CaCl2 solution was taken from the orignal solution and was transferred into an erlenmeyer flask with 10-mL NH3 buffer, 20-mL distilled water, and 5 gtts of EBT.

A chemist received different mixtures for analysis with the statement that they contained NaOH, NaHCO3, Na2CO3, or compatible mixtures of these substances, together with inert material. From the data given, identify the respective materials, and calculate the percentage of each component. 1.000g samples and 0.2500N HCl were used in all cases. (A) For Sample W: With PP, 24.32ml was used. A duplicate sample required 48.64ml with MO. (B). For Sample X: The addition of PP caused no color change. With MO, 38.47ml of the acid was required. (C). For Sample Y: To cause a color change in the cold with PP, 15.29ml of the acid was necessary, and an additional 33.19ml was required for complete neutralization. (D) For Sample Z: The sample was titrated with acid until the pink of PP disappeared; this process required 39.96ml. On adding an excess of the acid, boiling, and titrating back with alkali, it was found that the alkali was exactly equivalent to the excess acid added.

After the reaction has completed, the level of the liquid inside the eudiometer rests 4.30 cm above the water level in the beaker. The graduation on the eudiometer indicates that the trapped gas is 44.37 mL. The experiment was done under a barometric pressure of 755.2 torr. What CASE does this experiment satisfy?
