Crystallization of Supersaturated Sodium Acetate A supersaturated solution of sodium acetate is poured onto one small sodium acetate crystal. Crystals form from the liquid immediately upon contact with the seed crystal. A thermometer shows that the crystallization process is exothermic. A chemical hot pack is shown as an example of a commercially available supersaturated solution.
Solutions : WtPercentToMolarity (4 Variations)
A common concentration unit used commercially is percent weight per volume (%W/V) which is the number of grams of solute in 100 mL of solution. A bottle of vinegar contains 5 %W/V acetic acid (CH3COOH). What is the molar concentration of acetic acid in the vinegar?
Determining the Pressure inside an Unopened Carbonated BeverageHans de Grys Determining the pressure of carbon dioxide inside a sealed soft drink can represents a challenging student exercise. Several methods are discussed for solving the problem, including applying the ideal gas law, gas collection via water displacement, and Henry's law. de Grys, Hans. J. Chem. Educ.2007, 84, 1117.

Improving Conceptions in Analytical Chemistry: ci Vi = cf VfMargarita Rodríguez-López and Arnaldo Carrasquillo Jr. A common misconception related to analytical chemistry, which may be generalized as the failure to recognize and to account analytically for changes in substance density, is discussed. A cautionary example is made through the use of mass-based units of composition during volumetric dilution. The correct application of the volumetric dilution equation ci Vi = cf Vf is discussed. A quantitative description of the systematic error introduced by incorrect use of the volumetric dilution equation is also specified. Rodríguez-López, Margarita; Carrasquillo, Arnaldo, Jr. J. Chem. Educ.2005, 82, 1327.
