A student constructs an electrochemical cell. A diagram of the operating cell and the unbalanced ionic equation representing the reaction occurring in the cell are shown below.
The blue color of the solution in the copper half-cell indicates the presence of Cu2+ ions. The student observes that the blue color becomes less intense as the cell operates.

In a laboratory activity, each of four different masses of KNO3(s) is placed in a separate test tube that contains 10.0 grams of H2O at 25°C.
When each sample is first placed in the water, the temperature of the mixture decreases. The mixture in each test tube is then stirred while it is heated in a hot water bath until all of the KNO3(s) is dissolved. The contents of each test tube are then cooled to the temperature at which KNO3 crystals first reappear. The procedure is repeated until the recrystallization temperatures for each mixture are consistent, as shown in the table below.

A solution of ethylene glycol and water can be used as the coolant in an engine-cooling system. The ethylene glycol concentration in a coolant solution is often given as percent by volume. For example, 100. mL of a coolant solution that is 40.% ethylene glycol by volume contains 40. mL of ethylene glycol diluted with enough water to produce a total volume of 100. mL. The graph below shows the freezing point of coolants that have different ethylene glycol concentrations.

During a titration, 10.00 mL of acetic acid, HC2H3O2(aq), is completely neutralized by adding 12.50 mL of 0.64 M sodium hydroxide, NaOH(aq).
Explain why it is better to use data from multiple trials to determine the molarity of acetic acid, rather than data from a single trial.*

In an investigation, aqueous solutions are prepared by completely dissolving a different amount of NaCl(s) in each of four beakers containing 100.00 grams of H2O(ℓ) at room temperature. Each solution is heated and the temperature at which boiling occurred is measured. The data are recorded in the table below.

During the winter months, icy roads pose a threat to motorists and can lead to accidents. A mixture of sand and sodium chloride, NaCl, can be spread on roads to make winter driving safer.
One New York town requires that a mixture of sand and salt used on residential roads should contain 25% or less of NaCl by mass. A 10.0-gram sample of a mixture of sand and NaCl was analyzed and found to contain 3.3 grams of NaCl.
Explain, in terms of composition by mass, why the mixture from which the analyzed sample was taken should not be used on residential roads of the town.*
