Cadmium (Cd) is reported to be much more toxic as the free metal (Cd^2+) than when complexed with ligands. The total soluble Cd concentration (Cgamma, Cd = [Cd^2+] 4- the sum of all soluble Cd complexes) in a water is measured to be 10^-4M. In order to ensure that the toxicity of Cd is small, it is desirable to have Cd^2+ be less than 10^-7 M. An environmental engineer suggests adding 0.5 M NaCl to complex the Cd^2+. Ignore activity corrections and the formation of any solids. Consider only the complexes of chloride with cadmium-there are 4 (log beta1 = 2.0, log beta2 = 2.6, log beta3 = 2.4, and log beta4 = 1.7).
A. Will this help keep [Cd^2+] below 10^-7 M?
B. What is [Cd^2+]?

The content of manganese (mn) in steel was determined spectrophotometrically and with the use of the standard addition method. an unknown sample of mn from a digested steel sample gave an absorbance of 0.185 when analyzed spectrophotometrically. when 5.00 ml of solution containing 95.5 ppm mn was added to 50.0 ml of the unknown steel solution (digested sample), the absorbance was 0.248. calculate the concentration, in parts-per-million (ppm), of mn in the digested steel sample solution.

Predict the reactants of this chemical reaction. that is, fill in the left side of the chemical equation. be sure the equation you submit is balanced. (you can edit both sides of the equation to balance it, if you need to.) note: you are writing the molecular, and not the net ionic equation. > cacl2(aq) + h20(l)
