Answer:

0.5ppm

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question.

Volume of water = 2500L

Mas of Cu = 1.25 g

Step 2:

Determination of the concentration of Cu in g/L. This is illustrated below:

Volume of water = 2500L

Mas of Cu = 1.25 g

Conc. of Cu In g/L =?

Conc. g/L = Mass /volume

Conc. of Cu in g/L = 1.25/2500

Conc. of Cu in g/L = 5x10^–4 g/L

Step 3:

Conversion of the concentration of Cu in g/L to ppm. This is illustrated below

Recall:

1g/L = 1000mg/L

Therefore, 5x10^–4 g/L = 5x10^–4 x 1000 = 0.5mg/L

Now, we know that 1mg/L is equal to 1ppm.

Therefore, 0.5mg/L is equivalent to 0.5ppm

How do you determine the chemical reactivity for metals using the periodic table?
Lyrx [107]
You can know the metal with low reactivity and the metal with high reactivity from the periodic table, as in metals the Chemical reactivity increases by going down a group, because of the farther down group we go the easier of lose and gain of electrons or the easier the electrons to be given or taken, this caused the chemical reactivity be higher.
- and the chemical reactivity decreases as we go across the period because they want to give away valence electrons, they need more energy to get rid of them.

How is the Hvap used to calculate the mass of liquid boiled by 1 kJ of energy?
coldgirl [10]
The heat used in phase changes is calculated by multiplying the mass of the substance by the energy of the phase change. In this case, for liquid to boil, we would find total heat by multiply the mass of liquid by the latent heat of vaporization (Hvap). If we are instead given the Hvap and the total heat of 1 kJ, we would divide 1 kJ by the Hvap (which is usually in kJ/kg) to get the mass of liquid boiled (in kg).
