What is the concentration of ions in the soil solution after fertilizer application? Suppose that 122 pounds of K+ were applied per acre, then a gentle rain soaked the top 10 inches of soil to field capacity, which for the given soil was about 16% water by volume. If the K+ was applied as KCl, it is plausible that it all dissolved and distributed relatively uniformly with the infiltrating water. If so, then what was the K+ concentration in the soil solution in mol K+/L solution? Note that the volume can be computed like we do for an acre-furrow-slice (AFS), as area times depth. This is going to be a relatively small number, so please report your answer in mol K+/L solution to at least 5 decimal places.

A sample of an iron ore was prepared for Fe3+ analysis as following: 3.4g of the sample was added anddissolved in acid environment then diluted to 250 mL using volumetric flask. After that, 10 mL of the resultingsolution was transferred by pipet to a 50-mL volumetric flask and continue to be diluted. The scientists foundout that this solution gives the concentration of Fe3+ as 2.3 mg/L. Find the weight percentage of Fe3+ in theoriginal sample.
In electrochemistry, specific conductance is defined as (1000/N)* k, where N is the normality of the salt solution and k is the specific conductance. Current is carried by both anions and cations to a different degree. Thus, the equivalence of a salt is the sum of the ionic conductances of the cation and anion. If the ionic conductance of Na+ is 50.1 and that of Cl- is 76.6. What is the estimated concentration of NaCl in mg/L. The specific conductance of NaCl is 125x106.

A prospector wants to know how much gold is in the ore that he has been mining. A sample weighing 11.2456 grams is dissolved in Aqua Regia (a mixture of HCl and HNO3). That sample is then transferred to a 200.00 mL volumetric flask and diluted to the mark with water. This is called solution 1. A volumetric pipet is used to transfer 10.00 mL of solution 1 to a second 500.00 mL volumetric flask. The second flask is filled to the mark resulting in solution 2. 5.00 mL of solution 2 is analyzed and found to contain 13.45 ppm Au. Answer each of the questions below. 1. What is the concentration of Au in solution 1. The units should be ppm 2. How many micrograms of Au are in the 5.00 mL sample that was measured? 3. How many micrograms of gold were in the 500.00 mL flask containing solution 2. 4. How many grams Au were in the flask containing solution 1 5. What is the %Au in the original sample?
Congratulations, you have just been hired at a local laboratory. Your first task is to prepare 10.0 mL of a 1.50 x 10-6 M solution of a small protein (FW: 3600 g/mole). Available to you are an electronic balance that is accurate to the nearest 0.001 g, a 1.00-mL pipette, and 10-mL volumetric flasks. Describe how to prepare the desired solution. (Note that the amount of protein is so small that you will need to make a more concentrated stock solution and dilute it.)

From the following data calculate the potassium content per tablet in effervescent KCl bicarbonate tablets. Weight of 20 tablets = 35.6751 g Weight of tablet powder taken for assay = 0.1338 g The sample is dissolved in 500 ml of water and then 5 ml of the sample solution is taken and diluted to 100 ml. Weight of KCl used to prepare standard = 0.1912 g The standard was dissolved in 100 ml of water and 5 ml of the standard solution was diluted to 250 ml. The diluted standard solution was used to prepare a calibration series by transferring 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 ml to 100 ml volumetric flasks and making up to volume. The following readings were obtained for the calibration series: 0, 20.3, 40.1, 60.3, 80.1 and 100. Reading obtained for potassium in the diluted sample solution = 73.9. The answer in the book is 496.2 mg of K, however, I can't get to that answer. Can anyone please help with the step-by-step solution? Thanks!

A 1.1324 g sample of magnetite ore was dissolved in concentrated HCl to give a solution that contained a mixture of Fe2+ and Fe3+. Nitric acid was added and the solution was boiled for a few minutes, which converted all of the iron to Fe3+. The Fe3+ was then precipitated as Fe2O3*xH2O by addition of NH3. After filtration and washing, the residue was ignited at a high temp to give 0.5394 g of pure Fe2O3. What is the percent Fe and the percent Fe3O4 in the sample?
