A chemistry student wants to design an electrochemical cell that produces a voltage of at least 1.5 volts. The available electrodes are copper and aluminum. Using Faraday's law, calculate the mass of copper needed to produce the required voltage if aluminum is used as the other electrode. The specific gravity of copper is 8.96 g/cm³, and the standard reduction potential of copper and aluminum are -0.34 V and -1.66 V, respectively.

A chemistry student wants to create a buffer solution with a pH of 7.2 using acetic acid and sodium acetate. The student has calculated that they need 0.1 moles of each component to make a 250 mL buffer solution. However, the student accidentally added 0.02 moles of hydrochloric acid to the buffer solution. Calculate the new pH of the buffer solution and explain if the addition of the hydrochloric acid has shifted the equilibrium position of the reaction towards the acid or the base.

A chemistry student wants to calculate the enthalpy of adsorption for the adsorption of nitrogen gas on a solid adsorbent. The student knows that the initial and final pressures of the nitrogen gas are 1 bar and 0.5 bar, respectively, and the surface area of the adsorbent is 2m^2/g. The student also has data on the temperature and the amount of nitrogen gas adsorbed on the adsorbent. Can you help the student calculate the enthalpy of adsorption?

A chemistry student wants to calculate the enthalpy change (∆H) upon hydrolysis of magnesium chloride (MgCl2). The student knows that the enthalpy of formation (∆Hf) of MgCl2 is -641 kJ/mol and the enthalpy of formation of water (∆Hf) is -286 kJ/mol. The balanced chemical equation for the hydrolysis of magnesium chloride is MgCl2 + 2H2O → Mg(OH)2 + 2HCl. Calculate the enthalpy change (∆H) of this reaction.

A chemistry student wants to buffer a solution with a pH of 4.5. The student adds 0.1 mol of a weak acid buffer to 0.1 mol of a conjugate base. Taking the pKa value of the buffer into consideration, determine how much stronger an acid in the same buffer system would need to be added to the solution to shift the pH from 4.5 to 4.0, assuming temperature and pressure are constant.

A chemistry student wants to analyze a sample of wastewater from a local factory. They want to know the concentration of the pollutants from the wastewater before releasing it into the environment. The sample is collected in a 500 mL container. After performing the required tests, the student determines that the total dissolved solids (TDS) in the sample are 750 mg/L, and the concentration of NaCl in the sample is 150 mg/L. Calculate the mass of TDS and NaCl in the sample.

A chemistry student needs to quantify the amount of iron (II) ions in a sample using colorimetry. The sample was prepared by dissolving a known mass of iron (II) sulfate in water, and the solution was diluted to a known volume. The student needs to determine the concentration of iron (II) ions in the original solution by measuring the absorbance of the sample using a colorimeter, and then using calibration curves to convert the absorbance to concentration. The student also needs to calculate the percentage error of the experiment and suggest ways to improve the accuracy of the results.
