Answer:

a. ppb of trichloroethylene = 3 × 10⁶ ppb

b. ppm of Cl₂ = 3.8 ppm

c. Molarity = 0.0002 mol / L

d. Molarity = 0.0007 mol / L

e. For trace amount of concentrations

Explanation:

a. Given data

mass of trichloroethylene = 25 mg

Volume of water = 9.5 L

ppb of trichloroethylene = ?

Solution

As we know that

1 L = 1000 milliliters

9.5 L = 9.5 × 1000

9.5 L = 9500 millileters (ml)

we consider 25 mg = 25 millileters

ppb = (mass of solute / mass of solvent) × 1000,000,000 (1 billion)

ppb of trichloroethylene = (25 ÷ 9500) × 1000,000,000

ppb of trichloroethylene = 0.003 × 1000,000,000

ppb of trichloroethylene = 3 × 10⁶ ppb

B. Given data

Mass of Cl₂ = 38 g

volume of water = 1.00 × 10⁴ L ( 10000 L)

ppm of Cl₂ = ?

Solution

Volume of water in ml = 1 L = 1000 ml

Volume of water in ml = 10000 × 1000

Volume of water in ml = 10000000 ml

we take 38 g = 38 ml

Now we convert it to ppm

ppm = (mass of solute / mass of solvent) × 1000000 (1 million)

ppm of Cl₂ = ( 38 ÷ 10000000 ) × 1000000

ppm of Cl₂ = 0.0000038 × 1000000

ppm of Cl₂ = 3.8 ppm

C. Given data

Concentration of F⁻ ( Fluoride ion) = 2.4 ppm

Molarity = ?

Solution

As we know that 1 ppm = 0.001 g / L

2.4 ppm = 2.4 × 0.001 g/L

2.4 ppm = 0.0024 g/L

Mass of flouride ions = 0.0024 g

Now we find number of moles

moles = mass / molar mass

molar mass of F⁻ = 19 g/mol

moles of F⁻ = 0.0024 g / 19 g/mol

moles of F⁻ = 0.0002 mol

Molarity = mol of solute / liter of solution

Molarity = 0.0002 mol / 1 L

Molarity = 0.0002 mol / L

D. Given data

Concentration of NO₃⁻ ( nitrate ion) = 45 ppm

Molarity = ?

Solution

As we know that 1 ppm = 0.001 g / L

45 ppm = 45 × 0.001 g/L

45 ppm = 0.045 g/L

Mass of nitrate ions = 0.045 g

Now we find number of moles

moles = mass / molar mass

molar mass of NO₃⁻ = 62 g/mol

moles of NO₃⁻ = 0.045 g / 62 g/mol

moles of F⁻ = 0.0007 mol

Molarity = mol of solute / liter of solution

Molarity = 0.0007 mol / 1 L

Molarity = 0.0007 mol / L

E. Reason of expressing concentration in ppm and ppb

Scientist prefer ppm and ppb notations when the concentration difference of solute and solvent are very high.

As water contains contaminants is a very low amount we can say in trace amounts so scientist prefer ppm and ppb rather than molarity.

Example

Arcenic is an under ground water contaminant and its concentration of 10 μg/L is dangerous for health.

Lets change this in to molarity

mass = 10 μg

10 μg = 10 / 1000000

10 μg = 0.00001 g

now find out moles of Arcenic

moles = mass / molar mass

molar mass of arcenic = 75 g/mol

moles = mass / molar mass

moles of arcenic = 0.00001 g / 75 g/mol

moles of arcenic = 0.00000012 mol

Molarity = moles of solute / litres of solution

Molarity = 0.00000012 mol / 1 L

Molarity = 0.00000012 mol/ L

As we can see that in molarity it is a negligible amount so scientists express it in ppm and ppb

The statement above is a limitation of the kinetic molecular theory. Kinetic molecular theory is a theory which is based on the assumption that gases are made up of large number of particles which behave like spherical objects in a state of constant, random motion in space. These particles move in a straight path until they collide with another particle or the wall of the container.

A solution of HCl has StartBracket upper H superscript plus EndBracket. = 0.01 M. What is the pH of this solution?

hoa [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Data:

[H⁺] = 0.01 mol·L⁻¹

Calculation:

pH = -log[H₃O⁺] = -log(0.01) = -log(1) - log(10⁻²) = -0 - (-2) = 0 + 2 = 2

When CO2(g) reacts with H2(g) to form C2H2(g) and H2O(g), 23.3 kJ of energy are absorbed for each mole of CO2(g) that reacts. Wr

kupik [55]

Answer:

$2CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+4H_{2}O(g)-46.6kJ$

Explanation:

As energy is absorbed therefore it is an endothermic reaction. Hence energy value should be written in the product side with a negative sign.

Reaction: $CO_{2}(g)+H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+H_{2}O(g)$

C balance: $2CO_{2}(g)+H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+H_{2}O(g)$

H and O balance: $2CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+4H_{2}O(g)$

Here 2 moles of $CO_{2}$ react. So, energy absorbed during the reaction is $(2\times 23.3)$ kJ or 46.6 kJ

Energy balance: $2CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+4H_{2}O(g)-46.6kJ$

Balanced thermochemical equation:

$2CO_{2}(g)+5H_{2}(g)\rightarrow C_{2}H_{2}(g)+4H_{2}O(g)-46.6kJ$

Mazyrski [523]

The elements in a Periodic Table are grouped according to their classifications. The major classifications are Metals, Non-metals, and Metalloids. Their level of reactivity can be gauged by simply looking at their position in the table. For Metals, their reactivity increases as you move to the left then going down. Non-metal reactivity increases as you move to the right then going up, starting at the bottom of the table.
