Enthalpy

The bombardier beetle uses an explosive discharge as a defensive measure. The chemical reaction involved is the oxidation of hydroquinone by hydrogen peroxide to produce quinone and water. Please see the attached file for full problem description.

Calorimetry

In a coffee-cup calorimeter, 1.10 g of NH4NO3 is mixed with 76.0 g of water at an initial temperature of 25.00°C. After dissolution of the salt, the final temperature of the calorimeter contents is 23.93°C. Assuming the solution has a heat capacity of 4.18 J/°C · g and assuming no heat loss to the calorimeter, calculate the ...continues

soluability and Ksp

A saturated solution of silver chloride, AgCl contains 1.92 mg of AgCl per liter of solution. What is the value of the soluability product constant Ksp for silver chloride. I know that soluability for AgCl at 25 degrees celcius ksp = 1.8 x 10 -10, however I am not sure if I would even need to incorporate this into the equati ...continues

solving for pH

I have .20M of a solution NaCN. Ka for HCN = 4.0 x10 10. How do I solve for pH?

molarity and equilibrium

A sodium hydroxide solution was standardized by weighing 2.425 g of oxalic acid, H2C2O4*2H2o and diluting it to 250 mL in a volumetric flask. Then 25.0 mL of this acid solution was titrated with 30.20 mL of base. Based on this information, how do I calculate the molarity of the sodium hydroxide solution?
