a)
Write the balanced net ionic equation for the reaction between cadmium nitrate, Cd(NO3)2, and
sodium oxalate, Na2C2O
4
.
b)
In each of the following test tubes, 5.0 mL of 0.10 M Cd(NO3)2 and 5.0 mL of 
0.10 M Na2C2O
4
were combined and allowed to stand for 10 minutes in order to reach
equilibrium.  The following additions were made to these test tubes:
test tube #1 -
2.0 mL of distilled water
test tube #2 -
2.0 mL of 1.0 M HCl, hydrochloric acid
test tube #3 -
2.0 mL of 1.0 M HNO3, nitric acid
The solutions were mixed thoroughly, allowed to stand to reach equilibrium again, then the
observations were recorded.
Using LeChatelier's Principle, explain how the reaction in part a) of this question would be
affected by these additions.  Give the expected visual observations and include all appropriate
interactive equilibria in your answers.

(Exp G)  In a titration of an acetic acid (CH3COOH) solution of unknown concentration, a 28.18 mL
sample of the acid is required 28.73 mL of a 0.2110 M KOH solution to reach the equivalence point.
a)
Determine the initial concentration of CH3COOH.
b)

d)
What is the percent dissociation, given an initial pH of 2.82. 
e)
Determine the pH of the solution at the equivalence point.
