I am having problems solving this problem...

Silver (I) can form a precipitate and/or a complex ion when it is mixed with sodium chloride, depending on the concentration of chloride ion present in the solution.

Write the reaction for the formation of the complex ion and the reaction for the formation of the precipitate (2pts).

What concentration of Cl^- is required to form a precipitate of AgCl _(s) (2 pts)? ([Ag⁺] = 0.1M; [NaCl] =1M). Your answer should be listed as a molar concentration.

What concentration of Cl^- is required to form a complex ion of [Ag(Cl) ₂]^-_(aq) ? Your answer should be listed as a molar concentration.

How can you apply this knowledge to the qualitative analysis separation scheme? Discuss.

Use the table of K_sp and K_f values in your lab manual to provide two other examples where a precipitate and a complex ion might both form.

please read the below and write down your own thoughts and ideas.

Communication skill is the vital for all aspects of our lives; from personal to professional, our lives function because of it. The way someone communicates could entirely differ from the other. But communication is really just a way of establishing relationships. Communication is not only an exchange of words. But at the same time the body is also saying a lot more than the words. Our gestures, hand movements do a lot of the talking for ourselves. This gets a whole lot complex when the interaction is among a diverse community. With different cultural backgrounds, different beliefs and perspectives, the message can be hard to interpret and/or examined. In order to have a positive impact of all the communications and interactions we might have with an individual possessing a different mind-set and culture. We must champion progressive thinking; to listen thoughtfully, debate tolerantly, to freely voice their ideas, and to let others voice theirs and avoid any seeming judgement. John Dewey a pragmatic philosopher and professor at University of Chicago was also a firm believer in progressive thinking mainly influenced by the political times he was living in(WWII). As a communication professional he realized the importance of understanding the reasons behind growing prejudice and hate among certain social groups, and the changes in attitudes and beliefs. (Julia T. Wood; Communication Mosaics; Text. Chapter 2; pg 27)In todayâs diverse world; progression is up another level; awareness of individual differences is extremely important to have an effective communication. This will enable people to have a deeper connection with people who differ from them in some way or the other. Not only will this help in creating relations but also bridging gaps and solving problems that might occur along the way in our lives.

Choose an example of a genetically modified organism (plant or animal) and expand on the topic by providing information on the below points:

-choice of an organism that is genetically modified and clearly described

-source of the gene(s) are specifically given (genus and species if possible)

-biotechnology used to create the organism is described and fully explained

-date when the work was done; main scientists involved

-any problems, surprises, or early successes associated with producing the organism (or gene product)

-impetus for the production of the organism (or gene product) (ie. what problem was it intended to solve?)

-any current successes or concerns regarding the organism

-provide a concluding paragraph that gives your opinion on the following: 1. Do you agree or disagree with the use of genetics to modify organisms? 2. Provide at least three reasons to support your opinion. Your last reason can be of a more personal nature, what is your gut reaction to why GMOs are beneficial or dangerous?

-list your sources (if wikipedia is used, list the original source)
