Answer:

a. LiOH

Explanation:

The relationship between the parameters (mass, volume and molar concentration) mentioned in the question is given as;

Molar Concentration = (Mass / Molar Mass) * Volume

Upon calculating thr molar mass of all the compounds we have;

a) LiOH - 6.94 + 16 + 1.01 = 24 g/mol

b) KCl - 39.098 + 35.45 = 74.5 g/mol

c) KOH - 39.098 + 16 + 1.01 = 56.1 g/mol

d) NaOH - 28.9898 + 16 + 1.01 = 46 g/mol

Picking 1 g and 1 L as the values for mass and volume. Any value would work, so long as it is constant for all compounds.

a) 1 g * 1 mol/24 g * 1/1L = 0.042 mol/L

b) 1 g * 1 mol/74.5 g * 1/1L = 0.013 mol/L

c) 1 g * 1 mol/56.1 g * 1/1L = 0.018 mol/L

d) 1 g * 1 mol/46 g * 1/1L =0.021 mol/L

LiOH has the highest molar concentration.

Answer:

The highest molar concentration is in the solution of potassium chloride because it's the one, with the highest molar mass.

Explanation:

If we have the same mass and the same volume in all the solutes and solutions, we should know the molar mass for each, to calculate how many moles of solute are we having.

a. LiOH → 23.94 g/m

b. KCl → 74.55 g/m

c. KOH → 56.1 g/m

d. NaOH → 40 g/m

The highest molar mass is in option b. It will have the most moles.

During a routine check of the fluoride content of Gotham City\'s water supply, the following results were obtained from replicat

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer:

The mean is $x=0.503\frac{mg}{L}$

The 90% confidence interval is:

$i_{0.90}=[0.492\frac{mg}{L},0.514\frac{mg}{L}]$

Explanation:

1. First organize the data:

$x_{1}=0.487$

$x_{2}=0.487$

$x_{3}=0.511$

$x_{4}=0.511$

$x_{5}=0.519$

As there are 5 data, the sample size (n) is n=5

2. Calculate the mean x:

The mean is calculated adding up all the data and divide them between the sample size.

$x=\frac{0.511+0.487+0.511+0.487+0.519}{5}$

$x=0.503\frac{mg}{L}$

3. Find 90% confidence interval.

The formula to find the confidence interval is:

$i_{0.90}=[x+/-z_{\frac{\alpha}{2}}*(\frac{d}{\sqrt{n}})]$ (Eq.1)

where x is the mean, d is the standard deviation and n is the sample size.

And

$1-\alpha=0.90$

$\alpha=0.10$

$\frac{\alpha}{2}=0.05$

$z_{0.05}=1.645$

4. Find the standard deviation

$d=\sqrt{\frac{(x_{1}-x)^{2}+(x_{2}-x)^{2}+(x_{3}-x)^{2}+(x_{4}-x)^{2}+(x_{5}-x)^{2}}{n-1}}$

$d=\sqrt{\frac{(0.487-0.503)^{2}+(0.487-0.503)^{2}+(0.511-0.503)^{2}+(0.511-0.503)^{2}+(0.519-0.503)^{2}}{4}}$

$d=\sqrt{\frac{(-0.016)^{2}+(-0.016)^{2}+(0.008)^{2}+(0.008)^{2}+(0.016)^{2}}{4}}$

$d=\sqrt{2.24*10^{-4}}$

$d=0.015$

5. Replace values in (Eq.1):

$i_{0.90}=[0.503+/-1.645*(\frac{0.015}{2.236})]$

For the addition:

$i_{0.90}=[0.503+1.645*(\frac{0.015}{2.236})]$

$i_{0.90}=0.514$

For the subtraction:

$i_{0.90}=[0.503-1.645*(\frac{0.015}{2.236})]$

$i_{0.90}=0.492$

The 90% confidence interval is:

$i_{0.90}=[0.492,0.514]$
