As a quality control check, a sample of acetone is taken from a process to determine the concentration of suspended particulate

matter. An 850 mL sample was placed in a beaker and evaporated. The remaining suspended solids were determined to have a mass of 0.001 g. The specific gravity of acetone is 0.79 g/cm.
(a) Determine the concentration of the sample as mg/L.
(b) Determine the concentration of the sample as ppm (problem from EPA Air Pollution Training Institute)

Answer:

The volume of the sample given is 850 ml, the density given is 0.79 gram per cm. Now the weight of the sample will be,  

Weight = volume × density = 850 × 0.79  

= 671.5 grams

Weight of the suspended solids given is 0.001 gram

The concentration of the sample can be determined by using the formula,  

Concentration = wt. of sample/volume

= [671.5 - 0.001) 10³ mg / 0.85 L

= 789998.82 mg/L or 789998.82 ppm

Now the concentration of suspended solids is.  

Css = 0.001 × 10³ mg / 0.85 L = 1.1764 mg per L or 1.1764 ppm

Find the empirical formula of the following compounds:<br> (c) A hydrocarbon with 79.9 mass % carbon
rodikova [14]

The compound is 82.76% C and 17.24% H

In chemistry, the empirical formula of a chemical compound is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms present in a compound.

<h3>Describe the empirical formula.</h3>

The simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound is the empirical formula of a chemical compound in chemistry. Sulfur monoxide's empirical formula, SO, and disulfur dioxide's empirical formula, S2O2, are two straightforward examples of this idea.

The simplest whole number ratio of each type of atom in a compound is its empirical formula. It can be determined from data on the mass of each component in a compound or from the composition's proportion.

The precautions that must be taken when carrying out experiments with hydrogen gas​
ch4aika [34]

Explanation:

Never smoke near a place where hydrogen is generated or being used. Remove all possible sources of flame and sparks. Hydrogen should only be generated and used in a well ventilated out door area. Precautions must be taken to remove all possibilities of fire or explosion.

Which solution has a molality of 0.25m nacl?
Radda [10]
A 0.25m solution of NaCl is defined as a solution consisting of 0.25mol NaCl dissolved in 1kg water:
Which choice fits this definition: None does. I suggest that you recheck the data you have submitted - you have a mixture of moles, mass, etc and it is easy to make a mistake.
d) looks promising if it was: 1.0 mol NaCl dissolved in 4kg water.
I have overlooked C) as possible 0.25mol NaCl in 1kg water as being a little too obvious.

He shell of a chicken’s egg makes up 5% of the mass of an average egg. An average egg has a
blagie [28]
First of all, you have to write a balance equation for the reaction. The balanced equation for the reaction is:
CaCO3 + 2CH3COOH = [CH3COO]2Ca +CO2 + H20
Next, find the mass of the shell.
For an average egg, the mass is 0.05 * 50 = 2.5 g. 
To convert this mass to moles, we have: 2.5/100 = 0.025 Moles. This is the mole of calcium carbonate.
To calculate the mole of ethanolic acid, we have: 50 * 0.001 * 2 = 0.1. This value is for 2 molecules, therefore for one molecule, we have: 0.1/2 = 0.05. 
From the equation of reaction, one mole of calcium carbonate is required to neutralize two moles of ethanolic acid.
Thus, 0.05/0.025 = 2. This imply that two complete egg shells will be needed to neutralize 50cm of ethanolic acid.
