Answer:
The correct answer is 4.16 grams.
Explanation:
Based on the given information, the concentration of KCl solution is 16 % m/v, which means that 100 ml of the solution will contain 16 grams of KCl.
The molarity of the solution can be determined by using the formula,
M = weight/molecular mass × 1000/Volume
The molecular mass of KCl is 74.6 grams per mole.
M = 16/74.6 × 1000/100
M = 16/74.6
M = 2.14 M
Now the weight of KCl present in the solution of 26 ml will be,
2.14 = Wt./74.6 × 1000 /26
Wt. = 4.16 grams
Answer:
Total worth of gold in the ocean = $5,840,000,000,000,000
Explanation:
As stated in the question above, 4.0 x 10^-10 g of gold was present in 2.1mL of ocean water.
Therefore, In 1 L of ocean water there will be,
(4.0 x 10^-10)/0.0021
= 1.9045 x 10^-7 g of gold per Liter of ocean water.
So in 1.5 x 10^-21 L of ocean water, there will be
(1.9045 x 10^-7) * (1.5 x 10^-21)
= 2.857 x 10^14 g of gold in the ocean.
1 gram of gold costs $20.44, that is 20.44 dollars/gram. The total cost of the gold present in the ocean is
20.44 * (2.857 x 10^14)
= $5,840,000,000,000,000
