When the hood door is open to a height of 8 inches and the hoods are operating, the average air velocity through the hood is 170ft/min. a. Evaluate the total ventilation rate for this room assuming that there are no other exhausts. b. The laboratory is designed for

    Calculating Absorptivity

    I have tried to play with all the numbers in this question, but nothing seems to be working. Nitrite ion, NO-2 is used as a preservative for bacon and other foods. It has been the center of controversy since it is potentially carcinogenic. Here is an abbreviated procedure for the determination: Step 1: 50.0 mL of unk

    Understanding Beer's Law

    What is Beer's law? Use Beer's law to mathematically determine the unknown concentration values. How do the values derived from Beer's law compare to those derived from the graph?

    Identifying different solutions.

    If I had 5 solutions that are not labeled (the solutions are ethanoic acid, calcium hydroxide, potassium bromide, sodium chloride and nitric acid) is there a way of identifying which one is which without using an indicator?
