A government laboratory wants to determine whether water in a certain city has any traces of fluoride and whether the concentrat

ion exceeds the recommended 4.00 ppm. A 5.00-g sample of this water is found to have 0.152 mg of fluoride. Should the water be declared safe for drinking?
3.04 ppm < 4.00 ppm, safe to drink

7.60 ppm > 4 ppm, safe to drink

30.4 ppm > 4 ppm, unsafe to drink

30,400 ppm > 4 ppm, unsafe to drink

Answer: The water is unsafe to drink because 30.4 ppm > 4 ppm.

Explanation: The recommended concentration of fluoride in the water is 4.00 ppm. If the concentration of fluoride increases the recommended limit, the water is unsafe to drink and vice-versa.

Parts Per Million (ppm) is the measurement of the concentration of the solution. It is expressed in mg/kg, which means:

ppm=\frac{\text{Weight of solute (in mg)}}{\text{Weight of the sample ( in kg)}}

We are given a sample of 5.00 grams and the solute is fluoride which has a weight of 0.152 mg.

Weight of the sample = 5.00 grams = 0.005 kg     (Conversion factor: 1 kg = 1000g)

Putting values in ppm equation, we get:

ppm=\frac{0.152mg}{0.005kg}=30.4mg/kg=30.4ppm

As the ppm value is more than the recommended value. Hence, the water is unsafe to drink.

A 7.12 L cylinder contains 1.21 mol of gas A and 4.94 mol of gas B, at a temperature of 28.1 °C. Calculate the partial pressure
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

P_A=4.20atm\\\\P_B=17.1atm

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since the equation for the ideal gas is:

PV=nRT

For each gas, given the total volume, temperature (28.1+273.15=301.25K) and moles, we can easily compute the partial pressure as shown below:

P_A=\frac{n_ART}{V} =\frac{1.21mol*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*301.25K}{7.12L} \\\\P_A=4.20atm\\\\P_B=\frac{n_BRT}{V} =\frac{4.94mol*0.082\frac{atm*L}{mol*K}*301.25K}{7.12L} \\\\P_B=17.1atm

Best regards!

Calculate the molarity and normality of 5.7 g of Ca(OH)2 in 450 mL of solution.
Kisachek [45]
  The  molarity   and  normality  of  5.7 g  of  Ca(OH)2   in  450ml  0f    solution  is  calculated  as  follows

molarity  =  moles/volume in  liters
moles  =mass/molar  mass
=  5.7g/74g/mol  =  0.077moles
molarity =  0.077/450  x1000= 0.17M

Normality =  equivalent  point  x molarity
equivalent  point  of Ca(OH)2  is  2   since  it has  two  Hydrogen  atom

normality  is therefore =  0.17  x2 = 0.34 N
