An aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide is standardized by titration with a 0.193 M solution of nitric acid. If 10.7 mL of base are required to neutralize 29.1 mL of the acid, what is the molarity of the calcium hydroxide solution?

The small bags of silica gel you often see in a new shoe box are placed there to control humidity. despite its name, silica gel is a solid. it is a chemically inert, highly porous, amorphous form of sio2. because water vapor readily adsorbs onto the surface of silica gel, it acts as a desiccant. despite not knowing mechanistic details of the adsorption of water onto silica gel, from the information provided you should be able to make an educated guess about the thermodynamic characteristics of the process. predict the signs for δg, δh, and δs for the adsorption of water.
