Explain what would happen to the pH of a solution of aqueous hydrochloric acid if you add water.

In a titration, 45.0 cm^(3) of 0.100 mol dm^(-3) sodium hydroxide solution is exactly neutralised by 40.0 cm^(3) of a dilute hydrochloric acid solution. Calculate the concentration of the hydrochloric acid solution in mol dm^(-3).

Describe how carbon dioxide helps maintain temperature on Earth

An equation for the reaction is: NiO + C = Ni + CO Calculate the percentage atom economy for the reaction to produce nickel. Relative atomic masses (Ar): C = 12 Ni = 59 Relative formula mass (Mr): NiO = 75 Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
