If a pharmacist adds 10 ml of purified water to 30 ml of a solution having a specific gravity of 1.30, calculate the specific gr
1 answer:
The specific gravity of a sample is the ratio of the density of the sample with respect to one standard sample. The standard sample used in specific gravity calculation is water whose density is 1 g/mL. The solution having specific gravity 1.30 is the density of the sample that is 1.30 g/mL. Thus the weight of the 30 mL sample is (30×1.30) = 39 g.
Now the mass of the 10 mL of water is 10 g as density of water is 10 g/mL. Thus after addition the total mass of the solution is (39 + 10) = 49g and the volume is (30 + 10) = 40 mL. Thus the density of the mixture will be g/mL. Thus the specific gravity of the mixed sample will be 1.225 g/mL.

Answer: The concentration of C29H60 in nM per liter is 83,33 nM/liter
Explanation: Let's start from the ppb definition: ppb means parts per billion. In terms of concentracion measuring this means micrograms of solute per liter of solution.
The algebraic expression would be:
<em>ppb [=] micrograms of compound/liter of solution</em>
We can assume that the solvent is water. The solute is dissolved in water and both create the C29H60 solution.
For the exercise we have 34 ppb of C29H60, that means 34 micrograms of C29H60 in one liter of solution. So, since now, we have to convert the units from the initial data to the required answer.
The respective procedure is in a attached file.
