1.  Consider an aqueous solution that is saturated with nitrogen gas and sugar (glucose) at 80 °C. You may recall from lecture that as for most non-ionic solutes, K_s for glucose increases with increasing temperature.  For N₂, as for most gases, K_H decreases with increasing temperature.  Predict what happens when:

A.  More sugar is added to the solution at 80 °C.

B.  The solution at 80 °C is heated to 95 °C.

C.  The solution is cooled to room temperature.

2.  Using the K_spdata below, predict the products for the following reaction:

Ca²⁺(aq) +  NO₃^–(aq) +  K⁺(aq) +  F^–(aq) -> ???

K_sp Ca(NO₃)₂ = 1.6 x 10^-3                      K_sp CaF₂ = 3.5 x 10^-11

K_sp KNO₃ = 1.3 x 10⁶                          K_sp KF = 8.7 x 10⁵

3. You are provided with an aqueous solution containing 0.050 M Mg²⁺ and 0.050 M Cu²⁺ ions and are asked to try to separate them. What concentration of OH^– is needed to begin precipitation of each cation? K_sp = 1.8 x 10^-11 for Mg(OH)₂; K_sp = 4.8 x 10^-20 for Cu(OH)₂.

4. Calculate how many mL of a 0.1 M NaOH solution was added to a titration mixture of 100 mL of 0.1 M HCOOH (pK_a = 3.75) solution to reach a final pH of 5.1.

5. 50 mL of 0.03 M HCl solution was added to 100 mL of 0.10 M acetic acid solution (CH₃COOH, K_a = 1.8 x 10^-5). What is the pH of the mixture?

6. Consider again the previous problem: What fraction of the acetic acid is dissociated before and after the addition of the HCl solution?

7. Consider a solution of ammonia, NH₃. An equal volume of an ammonium chloride solution of the same concentration was added to the ammonia solution. How will this affect the pH of the ammonia solution? Explain your answer.

8. You have 1.0 L of a formic acid buffer that is 0.10 M in HCOOH and 0.050 M in HCOONa. The following substances were added to this buffer in three separate experiments: 1) 0.05 mol of HCl, 2) 0.05 mol of NaOH, 3) 0.05 mol of HCOONa. Which of the resulting solution(s) no longer function(s) as a buffer? Explain your answer.

9. What is the solubility of PbI₂(s) in a solution saturated with another sparingly soluble iodide salt relative to PbI₂(s) solubility in pure water? Explain your answer.

10. Consider a solution of CaCl₂ and Mg(NO₃)₂ in which the concentrations of both Mg²⁺ and Ca²⁺ are the same, 0.01. M.  Is it possible to separate Ca²⁺ from Mg²⁺ by selective precipitation of Mg(OH)₂? To be precise, is it possible to precipitate 99.99% of magnesium without precipitating any calcium as hydroxides? For the sake of simplicity, assume that the precipitation reactions do not result in any change of the volume of the reaction mixture. The K_sp values of the calcium and magnesium hydroxides are 6.5 x 10^-5 and 7.1 x 10^-12, respectively. Show your work.

Are America’s top chief executive officers (CEOs) really worth all that money? One way to answer this question is to look at the annual company percentage increase in revenue versus the CEO’s annual percentage salary increase in that same company. Suppose that a random sample of companies yielded the following data:

percent change for corporation 15 12 3 12 28 6 8 2
percent change for CEO 6 17 -4 12 32 -1 7 2

A company has observed that there is a linear relationship between indirect labor expense (ILE) , in dollars, and direct labor hours (DLH). Data for direct labor hours and indirect labor expense for 18 months are given in the file ILE_and_DLH.xlsx

Treating ILE as the response variable, use regression to fit a straight line to all 18 data points.

Based on your results, If direct labor hours (DLH) increases by one hour, the indirect labor expense (ILE), on average, increases by approximately how much?

Place your answer, rounded to 2 decimal places, in the blank. Do not use any stray punctuation marks or a dollar sign. For example, 34.56 would be a legitimate entry.

Are America’s top chief executive officers (CEOs) really worth all that money? One way to answer this question is to look at the annual company percentage increase in revenue versus the CEO’s annual percentage salary increase in that same company. Suppose that a random sample of companies yielded the following data:

percent change for corporation 15 12 3 12 28 6 8 2
percent change for CEO 6 17 -4 12 32 -1 7 2

Do these data indicate that the population mean percentage increase in corporate revenue is greater than the population mean percentage increase in CEO salary? Use a 5% level of significance. What is the p-value associated with this test of hypothesis? Place your answer, rounded to 3 decimal places, in the blank. For example, 0.134 would be a legitimate entry.

In February 2002 the Argentine peso lost 70% of its value compared to the United States dollar. This devaluation drastically raised the price of imported products. According to a survey conducted by AC Nielsen in April 2002, 68% of the consumers in Argentina were buying fewer products than before the devaluation, 24% were buying the same number of products, and 8% were buying more products. Furthermore, in a trend toward purchasing less-expensive brands, 88% indicated that they had changed the brands they purchased. Suppose the following complete set of results were reported.
