A chemistry student is asked to determine the concentration of a particular compound in a sample of drinking water. The student collects a 100 mL water sample and adds a known amount of a standard solution containing the compound. After allowing the solution to equilibrate, the student measures the concentration of the compound in the new solution using a spectrophotometer, to be 0.0125 M. Assuming mass balance, calculate the concentration of the compound in the original drinking water sample.

A chemistry student has a sample of an unknown compound containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. The mass of the sample is 2.50 g. After combustion, the student finds that 1.80 g of carbon dioxide, 0.75 g of water, and 0.20 g of oxygen are produced. Using mass balance calculations, determine the empirical formula of the unknown compound.

A chemistry laboratory is provided with a 10 mL solution containing a mixture of sodium chloride and potassium chloride. After adding an excess of silver nitrate, it has been observed that 0.476 grams of AgCl precipitate out. Determine the mass of each component (NaCl and KCl) in the original solution using mass balance calculations.
