Answer:

a. 0.0192 ppm, and b. 8.70×10^{-7}

Explanation:

a. Calculation of parts per million (PPM) of SO2

The concentration of SO2 according to the question is 25 micrograms (ug) per 1 cubic meter (m3), so we need to convert both values to the same mass unit in order to calculate the parts per million. In this case, we will convert both values to grams:

25 ug = 25×10^{-6} g ......(i)

1 m3 = 1,000 L, but the density of the air is 1.3 g/L, so 1 L weighs 1.3 g. Using a rule of three:

1 L → 1.3 g

1,000 L → ?

? = 1,300 g

So, 1 m3 (cubic meter) of air weighs 1,300 g ......(ii)

Now we can calculate the parts per million by dividing the number of grams of SO2 (i) times the number of grams of air (ii) times 10^{6}:

PPM = (25×10^{-6} g)/(1,300 g)×10^{6} = 0.0192 ppm

b. Calculation of moles of SO2 per 100 mol of air

As we do not have any temperature mentioned in the question, we can not use the ideal gas equation to calculate the number of moles of air. So we will use the average weight of a mol of air, that is 28.97 g/mol

From (ii) we know that 1 m3 weighs 1,300 g, so we can apply a rule of three to get the number of moles we have in 1 m3:

28.97 g → 1 mol

1,300 g → ? moles of air

? = 1,300/28.97 = 44.874 moles of air

Also, from (i) we know that in 1 m3 of air we have 25×10^{-6} g of SO2. This amount can be expressed in moles by using the molar mass of SO2 that is 64 g/mol (S=32, O=16 and 32+2×16 = 64), using a rule of three:

64 g → 1 mol

25×10^{-6} g → ? moles of SO2

? = 3.91×10^{-7} moles of SO2

Now, we can calculate the moles of SO2 per 100 moles of air by doing the following:

moles of SO2 per 100 moles of air = (3.91×10^{-7})/(44.874)×100 = 8.70×10^{-7}

erik [133]

From the fact that oxygen is in group 16 and carbon is in group 14, the structure of CO2 must be O=C=O. In methane, there is no bond between any of the hydrogen atoms. The structure of H2O2 is H–O–O–H.

Carbon is in group 14 hence it has four valence electrons and oxygen is in group 16 hence it has six valence electrons. This implies that each oxygen atom will share four electrons with carbon in a covalent bond to form the structure O=C=O.

In CH4, we know that carbon is tetravalent so it forms for bonds. Therefore, there is no bond between hydrogen atoms so it bonds with each hydrogen atom; hydrogen only forms one bond.

In H2O2, there is the peroxide ion that has the structure O-O. Hence, the correct structure of H2O2 is H–O–O–H.
