Nuclear fusion in the sun involves hydrogen (h) atoms combining to form helium (he). a student claims that since the atmosphere contains hydrogen, any fusion reaction on earth would result in an uncontrolled chain reaction. what is wrong with the student's reasoning? the hydrogen in air is not densely packed enough for an uncontrolled chain reaction. uncontrolled chain reactions can only happen during nuclear fission. it is impossible to cause a fusion reaction to happen anywhere outside of the sun. we are safe because there is no radioactive hydrogen in the air.

Salicylic acid is a very important acid. it is used to synthesize the aspirin by treating with acetic anhydride. a 0.2015-g sample of salicylic acid was dissolved in a 100.00-ml volumetric flask, and the solution was diluted to the mark. a 10-ml aliquot of this solution was titrated with standard naoh (0.01130 + 0.2% n) to a phenolphthalein faint pink color end point at 19.81 ml. (a) (calculate the normality of the salicylic acid solution used in the titration. (b) assuming the salicylic acid is pure, what is the equivalent weight of the salicylic acid? practice problems for the final exam (continued) (c) (calculate the inherent error in the determination of the equivalent weight you calculated in part (b). use the following absolute errors in the equipment /glassware when calculating the inherent error. 5.00-ml pipet: + 0.02 ml 100-ml volumetric flask: + 0.08 ml analytical balance: + 0.2 mg 25-ml buret: + 0.03 ml
