A chemistry student needs to standardize a fresh solution of sodium hydroxide. He carefully weighs out 79. mg of oxalic acid (H,C,0,), a diprotic acid that can be purchased inexpensively in high purity, and dissolves it in 250. mL of distilled water. The student then titrates the oxalic acid solution with his sodium hydroxide solution. When the titration reaches the equivalence point, the student finds he has used 23.0 mL of sodium hydroxide solution. Calculate the molarity of the student's sodium hydroxide solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Calculate the mass of calcium carbonate that would have to be added to the lake to change the H+(aq) concentration to 6.3 × 10−8 M. Assume that all the carbonate is converted to carbon dioxide, which bubbles out of the solution.
The procedures and principles of qualitative analysis are coy cred in many introductory chemistry laboratory courses. In qualitative analysis, students learn to analyze mixtures of the common positive and negative ions, separating and confirming the presence of the particular ions in the mixture. One of the first steps in such an analysis is to treat the mixture with hydrochloric acid, which precipitates and removes silver ion, lead(II) ion, and mercury(I) ion from the aqueous mixture as the insoluble chloride salts. Write balanced net ionic equations for the precipitation reactions of these three cations with chloride ion.
