Surfactants X (HLB = 10.0) and Y (HLB = 5.5) are %3D mixed together to emulsify a mixture of 30 % paraffin wax (HLB = 10.2) and 70 % of an organic oil. Although the HLB value (on max. 20 scale) of the organic oil is not known, the formula weight of the hydrophobic portion of its molecule is equal to three times the formula weight of the hydrophilic portion. Find the composition (in %) of the surfactants that would most likely emulsify the organic matters.

When a Vitamin C (ascorbic acid; MM = 176.12 g mol-1) tablet is crushed, dissolved and titrated with 0.0340 M KIO3(aq) to a purple/blue endpoint (given by a starch indicator), the volume of KIO3 used is 29.80 mL. If 60 mg of ascorbic acid is the recommended dietary allowance (i.e., 100% of the RDA), then what is the % RDA for the Vitamin C in the tablet? KIO3(aq) + 5 KI + 6 H+ → 3 I2(aq) + 3 H2O I2 (aq) + ascorbic acid → 2 I- + dehydroascorbic acid

Oral rehydration salts are stated to contain the following components: Sodium Chloride 3.5g Potassium Chloride 1.5g Sodium Citrate 2.9g Anhydrous Glucose 20.0g 8.342 g of oral rehydration salts are dissolved in 500 ml of water. 5 ml of the solution is diluted to 100 ml and then 5 ml is taken from the diluted sample and is diluted to 100 ml. The sodium content of the sample is then determined by flame photometry. The sodium salts used to prepare the mixture were: Trisodium citrate hydrate (C6H5Na3O7, 2H2O) MW 294.1 and sodium chloride (NaCl) NW 58.5. Atomic weight of Na = 23. The content of Na in the diluted sample was determined to be 0.3210 mg/100 ml. Determine the % of stated content of Na in the sample.
