The concentration of Ca2+ in a water sample is determined using the method of external standards. The ionic strength of the samples and the standards was maintained at a nearly constant level by making each solution 0.5M in KNO3. The measured cell potentials for the external standards are shown in the following table. (Use decimal number in your final answer and do not include the unit)

Cu2+ (M) Absorbance
1.00 x 10-5 -0.125
5.00 x 10-5 -0.103
1.00 x 10-4 -0.093
5.00 x 10-4 -0.072
1.00 x 10-3 -0.065
5.00 x 10-3 -0.043
1.00 x 10-2 -0.033

What is the concentration of Ca2+ in a water sample if its cell potential is found to be –0.084 V?

Which of the following is not true for ΔG_rxn?
If ΔG°_rxn > 0, the reaction is spontaneous in the forward direction.
If Q = 1, then ΔG_rxn = ΔG°_rxn.
If ΔG°_rxn = 0, the reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction.
If ΔG°_rxn > 0, the reaction is spontaneous in the reverse direction.
Under equilibrium conditions, ΔG_rxn = 0.

Calculate the number of milliliters (mL) of ammonia whose density is 0.99 g/mL, 2.3% by weight NH3, which will be required to precipitate the iron as Fe(OH)3 in a 0.74 g sample that contains 22% FeO.

Rxn: 3NH3 + Fe3+ + 3H2O → Fe(OH)3 + 3NH4+
