Textbook Question
Chapter 4.6, Problem 4.18YT
You Decide Evaporating Coal Mines
Writing in the London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine, Arrhenius described the phenomenon: “We are evaporating our coal mines into the air.” Although the statement was effective in grabbing attention in 1898, what process do you think he really was referring to in discussing the amount of CO2 being added to the air? Explain your reasoning.

Imagine you were working as a laboratory technician and your principal investigator asked you to develop Benedict’s test into a quantitative measure of the concentration of reducing sugar in a solution. To do this, you would first need to decide what to measure and then establish the relationship between your measurements and different concentrations of reducing sugars. Explain generally what you would decide to measure and how you would go about determining the relationship of your measurements to the concentration of reducing sugar.
You are given solutions of Barium Nitrate and Sodium Sulfate. You want to make solid Barium Sulfate and isolate it from everything else in the reaction. Suggest a method for doing so.
You have the same situation as the part of question 2. However, suppose you wanted to isolate solid Sodium Nitrate. Suggest a method for doing so. (Yes, Sodium Nitrate is soluble. Think all the way back to separating salt from water at the beginning of the year.)
