Turn in corrected diagnostic quiz by Feb. 4 (10 points). 

Additional Problem 1.1 (5 pts total).  A 100.0 mL sample of spring water was treated to convert any iron present to Fe2+.  Titration of this water with acidic 0.000257 M K2Cr2O7 resulted in an endpoint of 37.18 mL.  Given the reaction:  6Fe2+ + Cr2O72- + 14H+ → 6Fe3+ + 2Cr3+ + 7H2O, calculate the total concentration of iron in the sample in parts per million. Assume the density of the water is 1.000 g/mL.  (5 pts)

Additional Problem 1.2 (5 pts total)

The cadmium concentration in a piece of cheap jewelry is analyzed by atomic absorption spectroscopy.  281+2 mg of jewelry is weighed out and transferred to a 10 mL vial to dissolve in nitric acid.  This solution is quantitatively transferred to a 100.0+0.1 mL volumetric flask and diluted to the mark.  A blank solution is prepared in a similar manner except without any jewelry.  The solution made from the jewelry is found to contain 3.94+0.07 mg/L Cd, while the blank is found to contain 0.21+0.05 mg/L Cd.  Assuming all of the uncertainties are independent, determine the concentration and uncertainty in concentration of Cd in the jewelry in parts per thousand by mass.  (5 pts)
