A certain lipid sample consists of a wax of unknown molecular weight and composition. It is known, however that the 2 groups are the same fatty acids. In order to investigate this, saponification and iodine numbers were used. A 3.000 g wax sample was placed under reflux with 20.00 mL of 0.7000 M KOH (56.1056 mg/mmol). It was then back-titrated using a 0.3500 M HCl titrant that required 23.91 mL to the phenolphthalein endpoint. To further characterize this, a 0.100 g sample was titrated for its iodine number. This consumed 3.50 mL of 0.100 N thiosulfate titrant. (Iodine: 126.905 g/eq) a) What is the saponification number of this wax sample? b) What is its Iodine number? c) How would you describe this in terms of unsaturation?

A protein of molecular weight = 55,000 g/mol and at 1 mg/mL concentration was titrated with Ellman’s reagent. What is the molar concentration of the protein in solution?
A student added a total of 75 mL sodium hydroxide to titrate an amino acid solution with 0.5M NaOH. They also calculated that they added a total of 14 mL of sodium hydroxide to arrive at pH 2.6 and a total of 32 mL of sodium hydroxide to arrvive at pH 4.8.What was the initial concentration of the amino acid solution in milimolar (mM)? The calculations must be presented such that those can be recapitulated by the marker. Provide the answer with no decimal places. Show all details of your working out. State the answer in a full sentence.
The concentration of Cl– in a 300.0-mL sample of water drawn from a fresh water acquifer suffering from encroachment of sea water, was determined by titrating with 0.0516 M Hg(NO3)2. The sample was acidified and titrated to the diphenylcarbazone end point, requiring 6.18 mL of the titrant. Report the concentration of Cl–in parts per million

2.0 g of mixture involving Na3PO4, Na2HPO4 or NaH2PO4 or involving three of them. The solution is titrated with 16.5 mL of 0.5 M HCl to reach bromocresol green end point. The same solution is also titrated with 7.6 mL of 0.7 M NaOH to reach phenolphthalein end point. What is the composition of that mixture? What are the amounts of species (%) in the mixture (H:1.0078, O:15.99, Na: 22.98, P:30.974)?
A 1.43 x 10-4 L solution of 45.7 mg/mL protein was analyzed using the Kjeldahl procedure. After digestion of the protein, the liberated NH3 was collected in 9.80 mL of 0235 M HCl. The unreacted acid required 10.75 mL of a standard solution of 0.0149 M NaOH for complete titration. Calculate the weight percent of nitrogen in the protein. (Molar mass N = 14.00674 g/mol)
Tom, an analytical chemist, bought a bag of decaffeinated coffee from a grocery store. However,Tom suspected that he might have received regular coffee and therefore decided to analyze hiscoffee for caffeine. In the lab, he took 0.5 mL of the brewed coffee and diluted it in water tomake a 100.0 mL solution. He performed four analyses and found the concentrations to be 4.69,3.99, 4.12, and 4.50 mg/L, respectively. (Assume the density of all solutions is 1.000 g/mL,1oz= 28.35 mL).(a) Report the concentration (in mg/L) of caffeine in the brewed coffee using the format asaverage ± standard deviation. (Note this is not the concentration in the diluted solution.)(b) Look up the caffeine content of regular vs. decaffeinated coffee. Do you think that Tom wasgiven the wrong type of coffee?(c) Caffeine intake of 300 mg per day reportedly has no adverse effects in the vast majority ofthe adult population. If Tom drinks 3 cups (8 oz/cup) of this coffee daily, is his intake withinthis known safe…

A student prepared 2-butanone (C4H&O) in the lab. To determine the purity of the product, the ketone was reacted with excess hydroxylamine hydrochloride liberating HCI. In this study, as much as 3.00 ml of sample was diluted to 50 mL and was treated with an excess of hydroxylamine hydrochloride. The liberated HCI was then titrated with 0.9989 M NaOH, requiring 32.68 mL to reach the end point. 1. Show how 2-butanone can be prepared! 2. Determine the percent purity of the sample, given that the density of 2-butanone is 0.805 g/mL!
