Chap 04_10e 24. 0.1032 ± 0.0077 M; Calculate the average (0.103 2 M) and standard deviation (0.006 22 M) of the five values. At the 95% confidence level with 4 degrees of freedom, t = 2.776. The confidence interval is calculated using the equation . 25. For the lab section, , s = 0.004 3 M, n = 5. The data point cannot be thrown out because Gcalculated(= 1.29) is smaller than Gtable(= 1.67). 26. 0.62%; The value of z is −2.5 with an area of 0.493 8. The percentage below 97% is 0.500 0 − 0.493 8 = 0.006 2 or 0.62%. 27. Fcalculated = (0.72)2/(0.40)2 = 3.24; Ftable = 3.97 for n1 − 1 = 5 and n2 − 1 = 7 degrees of freedom; Fcalculated(= 3.24) < Ftable(= 3.97), so the standard deviations are not significantly different. 28. 0.222 mM; Insert the value of 108 into the quadratic equation for y and solve for x. 29. For the new method, , s = 0.078%, and t = 2.776 for 4 degrees freedom at 95% confidence and n = 5. At the 95% confidence level, the confidence interval for the new method is 2.798 ± 0.097% by mass Fe, or 2.70% to 2.90%. The accepted value falls within the 95% confidence interval, so the new method produces a result that is not significantly different. 30. 0.0826 ± 0.0039 mg/mL; Use the equation of the least squares line to determine the concentration from the absorbance. Then use the provided equations to calculate the uncertainty. 31. Fcalculated = 1.69 < Ftable = 3.18; the standard deviations are not significantly different. 32. t calculated = 0.58 < t table = 2.228, so the results of the two methods are not significantly different at the 95% confidence level. Use the F test to determine if the standard deviations are significantly different. Then use the appropriate set of equations to compare the results of the two different sets of data.

Chap 17_10e 24. 7.22 mM; Use the trendline data to calculate the concentration ferricyanide for 17.38 mA cathodic current. 25. 1.296%; There are two methods that can be used. The first method uses the titrator time, the amperage, and the volume of the sample to calculate the mg/mL concentration of NaCl and compares it to the known concentration. The second method uses the known concentration, the amperage, and the volume of the sample to calculate the amount of time it should take to titrate the sample. This time is compared to the actual time. 26. A potential of −0.2656 V is required to start reducing Ni2+ from solution. A potential of −0.3839 V is required to remove 99.99% of Ni2+ from solution. A potential of −0.4607 V is required for reduction of Fe2+ from solution. Therefore, it is possible to remove Ni2+ from the solution before Fe2+ is reduced. Use the Nernst equation to calculate the potential required when the concentration is 0.10 M Ni2+, −0.2656 V. Next, calculate the potential required to start reducing Fe2+ from solution, −0.4607 V. Comparison of the reduction potentials indicates that Ni2+ will reduce first. Calculate the potential when 99.99% of Ni was removed from solution (0.01% still in solution), −0.3839 V. The Fe2+ potential is too negative to start reduction at −0.3839 V. 27. Reversible;

28. −3.690 1 V; First, determine which half-reaction occurs at the cathode and which occurs at the anode. Since this is an electrolytic cell, the more negative potential remains the reduction and is the cathode. The more positive electrode is the anode. Insert the desired partial pressure of hydrogen gas and the hydroxide concentration into the Nernst equation for the cathode half-reaction. Insert the desired partial pressure of oxygen and the hydronium concentration into the Nernst equation for the anode half-reaction. Solve for the potential of the cell (E = Ecathode – Eanode), which includes the concentration polarization at the electrode surfaces. Then subtract the ohmic resistance (IR) and the overpotentials for the anode and cathode. 29. 0.501 cm2; Use the equation

, where the slope of the line is equal to Ipc/C, to

calculate A. 30. 5.93 g; Use the time, current, and Faraday constant to determine the number of moles of electron passed through the solution. Then use the stoichiometry of the reduction to determine the number of moles of Fe2+ reduced. Finally, use the molar mass of Fe to determine the mass of Fe(s) deposited.

Chap 20_10e 5. Which statement regarding photodiode arrays is FALSE? a. Photodiode arrays respond to more than one wavelength. b. Photodiode arrays require a polychromator to detect more than one wavelength. c. Photodiode arrays allow for rapid acquisition of an entire light spectrum. d. Photodiode arrays have higher signal-to-noise ratios. e. Spectrophotometers using photodiode arrays are dispersive spectrometers. 6. Assuming a constant waveguide length and angle of incidence, why does the sensitivity of the attenuated total reflectance sensor increase with decreasing waveguide thickness? a. The sensitivity increases with decreasing waveguide thickness due to an increase in the reflection angle. An increased reflection angle causes the evanescent wave to penetrate farther into the sample, thereby increasing the attenuation of the laser beam and greater sensitivity. b. A thinner waveguide allows more light to pass through, resulting in a greater signal-to-noise ratio and increased sensitivity. c. The sensitivity of an attenuated total reflectance sensor increases with decreasing waveguide thickness due to a reduction in the angle required for total internal reflection. With a reduced reflection angle, the evanescent wave will penetrate to a greater depth for a greater period of time. This results in greater attenuation and greater sensitivity. d. The number of internal reflections increases as the waveguide thickness is decreased, resulting in a greater amount of attenuation and an increase in sensitivity. e. The sensitivity of the attenuated total reflectance sensor is independent of the waveguide thickness. The sensitivity can only be changed by changing the waveguide length. 7.
