A chemist samples a river's water to measure the amount of fertilizer runoff from the area farms. In a 0.0740 L sample, the chemist measures 562 µg of nitrate. Express the concentration of nitrate in parts per million (ppm) and parts per billion (ppb). Assume the density of the river water sample is 1.00 g/mL. concentration: concentration: ppm ppb

Two students titrate different samples of the same solution of HCl using 0.100 M NaOH solution and phenolphthalein indicator (Figure 4.12). The first student pipets 20.0 mL of the HCl solution into a flask, adds 20 mL of distilled water and a few drops of phenolphthalein solution, and titrates until a lasting pink color appears. The second student pipets 20.0 mL of the HCl solution into a flask, adds 60 mL of distilled water and a few drops of phenolphthalein solution, and titrates to the first lasting pink color. Each student correctly calculates the molarity of an HCl solution. What will the second students result be? (a) four times less than the first students result (b) four times greater than the first students result (c) two times less than the first students result (d) two times greater than the first students result (e) the same as the first students result
One method for determining the purity of aspirin (C9H8O4) is to hydrolyze it with NaOH solution and then to titrate the remaining NaOH. The reaction of aspirin with NaOH is as follows: A sample of aspirin with a mass of 1.427 g was boiled in 50.00 mL of 0.500 M NaOH. After the solution was cooled, it took 31.92 mL of 0.289 M HCl to titrate the excess NaOH. Calculate the purity of the aspirin. What indicator should be used for this titration? Why?
