A state department of health is considering a public awareness campaign to encourage vaccination. It determines that the cost of this campaign would be $700,000 per year for the next 6 years. It estimates that the campaign would reduce rates of illness and communicable disease. At the end of the first year of the campaign, the resulting savings would be $1,300,000; the savings would decrease by $80,000 each of the following 5 years. Assuming a discounting factor of 4%, compute...

The chemical box contains an “unknown” chemical that is a sulfate, carbonate, or phosphate salt. Using the procedures learned earlier in this experiment, determine which type of salt is contained in the unknown solution. Remember that the results need to match those from the previous experiments for a positive identification result. Other reactions may happen, but these results do not give a definitive answer with respect to what compound is in the solution. Use a permanent market to label three...
