Answer:
Concentration of Cl2: 1,048 ppm
Explanation:
The unit of measurement molarity (M) represents the same magnitud as mole/L (number of moles of the substance in one liter of solution). The concentration in ppm represents the same as mg/L (number of miligrammes of the substance in one liter of solution). In order to convert from M to ppm we have to consider, then, mass and volume. We can see that in both cases the volume is expressed in liters, so we don't have to do anything to change it. The problem comes when you see that you have to convert moles, from the molatiry, to miligrammes, to get the result in mg/L, meaning ppm.
First of all, notice that the substance is Cl2, so we need to find a relationship between the number of moles and its mass. If you look in the periodic table you'll see that the atomic mass for Cl is 35,4 g/mole (grammes of Cl in one mole). So, there is a way to relate the moles to the mass of the substance and it is represented on the equation below:
We want to find the mass (m) and we know the amount of moles of Cl2 in the solution (moles=2,96x10^-5), so, if we use the values known on the equation above we get that:
Remember that these grammes are found in one liter of solution. So, this means we have 1,048x10^-3 g/L. Previously we said that ppm=mg/L, so all that's left to do it to convert grammes to miligrammes:
1 g = 1000 mg
If we multiply both sides by 1,048x10^-3:
1 * 1,048x10^-3 g = 1000 * 1,048x10^-3 mg
1,048x10^-3 g = 1,048 mg
Knowing that this amount of mass was found in one liter, we get that the amount of substance in the solution is:
1,048 mg/L
Knowing that <em>mg/L=ppm</em>, then the concentration of Cl2 in ppm is:
<u>1,048 ppm</u>
