A government laboratory wants to determine whether water in a certain city has any traces of fluoride and whether the concentrat

ion exceeds the recommended 4.00 ppm. A 5.00-g sample of this water is found to have 0.152 mg of fluoride. Should the water be declared safe for drinking?
3.04 ppm < 4.00 ppm, safe to drink

7.60 ppm > 4 ppm, safe to drink

30.4 ppm > 4 ppm, unsafe to drink

30,400 ppm > 4 ppm, unsafe to drink

Answer: The water is unsafe to drink because 30.4 ppm > 4 ppm.

Explanation: The recommended concentration of fluoride in the water is 4.00 ppm. If the concentration of fluoride increases the recommended limit, the water is unsafe to drink and vice-versa.

Parts Per Million (ppm) is the measurement of the concentration of the solution. It is expressed in mg/kg, which means:

ppm=\frac{\text{Weight of solute (in mg)}}{\text{Weight of the sample ( in kg)}}

We are given a sample of 5.00 grams and the solute is fluoride which has a weight of 0.152 mg.

Weight of the sample = 5.00 grams = 0.005 kg     (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000g)

Putting values in ppm equation, we get:

ppm=\frac{0.152mg}{0.005kg}=30.4mg/kg=30.4ppm

As the ppm value is more than the recommended value. Hence, the water is unsafe to drink.

What happened to the volume of gas when the syringe was exposed to various temperature conditions? Using the concepts explored i
rewona [7]

Answer:

Thus, when the volume of the gas is exposed to a temperature above -273.15 K, the volume increases linearly with the temperature.

Explanation:

The expression for Charles's Law is shown below:

\frac {V_1}{T_1}=\frac {V_2}{T_2}

This states that the volume of the gas is directly proportional to the absolute temperature keeping the pressure conditions and the moles of the gas constant.

<u>Thus, when the volume of the gas is exposed to a temperature above -273.15 K, the volume increases linearly with the temperature. </u>

<u>For example , if the temperature of the gas is reduced to half, the volume also reduced to half. </u>

<u>At -273.15 K, according to Charles's law, it is possible to make the volume of an ideal gas = 0.</u>

Explain on the chemical structural basis why the products of the saponification reaction are soluble in water while the starting
aev [14]

Answer:

The description is outlined in subsection downwards and according to the query given.

Explanation:

  • Saponification seems to be a procedure that requires the conversion or transformation of fat, grease, or lipid by either the intervention of heating a mixture of aqueous alkali towards soap as well as an alcoholic. Soaps contain fatty acid salts, however, mono-fatty acids contain carbon atoms, such as sodium palmitate. Therefore, throughout the water, individuals were indeed soluble.
  • However, on another hand, owing to large hydrocarbon strings, triglycerides do not partake in hydrogen bonding. Therefore in water, they aren't dissolved.

Identify the true statements about surface tension. Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the
Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

Molecules along the surface of a liquid behave differently than those in the bulk liquid.

Cohesive forces attract the molecules of the liquid to one another.

Water forming a droplet as it falls from a faucet is a primary example of surface tension.

Explanation:

Surface tension is the force that stretches the liquid surface. This force acts normal to the surface. It is the downward force that acts on the surface of the liquids which is due to the cohesive forces of the liquids.

The water molecules are bonded by a strong hydrogen bond force which is between hydrogen atom and the electronegative oxygen atom. At the surface the water molecules are attracted strongly by other water molecules which lies below the surface and are stretched at the surface. Thus the water molecules at the surface acts differently than in the bulk liquid.

Mercury have a strong cohesive force than the water and have a higher surface tension force than the water.

Surface water acquires minimum surface area, hence acquiring spherical shape of water.

A 5.00 gram sample of an oxide of lead PbxOy contains 4.33g of lead. Determine the simplest formula for the compound.
Valentin [98]
PbO2

You have to take the mass of lead in the problem, and divide by the molar mass.
When you do the same with oxygen, you get a number about twice as large as when you divide the mass of lead by the molar mass of lead. This means that the simplest formula  would be PbO2
