Answer:

= 25 ppm

Explanation:

PPM also refers to parts per million, it represents a low concentration of a solution. It represents 0.001 gram or a milligram in a 1000 mL, which equivalent to 1 mg per liter.

Given; a sample size of 2000 g contained 0.050 g DDT

It means, 2000 mL sample contained 50 mg DDT

Therefore in ppm we get;

= 50 mg/ 2 L

= 25 mg/L

= 25 ppm

Calculate the molality of a solution that contains 51.2 g of naphthalene, C10H8, in 500 mL of carbon tetrachloride. The density

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer: The molality of naphthalene solution is 0.499 m

Explanation:

Density is defined as the ratio of mass and volume of a substance.

$\text{Density}=\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Volume}}$ ......(1)

Given values:

Volume of carbon tetrachloride = 500 mL

Density of carbon tetrachloride = 1.60 g/mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Mass of carbon tetrachloride}=(1.60g/mL\times 500mL)=800g$

Molality is defined as the amount of solute expressed in the number of moles present per kilogram of solvent. The units of molarity are mol/kg. The formula used to calculate molarity:

$\text{Molality of solution}=\frac{\text{Given mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Mass of solvent (in g)}}$ .....(2)

Given values:

Given mass of naphthalene = 51.2 g

Molar mass of naphthalene = 128.17 g/mol

Mass of solvent = 800 g

Putting values in equation 2, we get:

$\text{Molality of naphthalene}=\frac{51.2\times 1000}{128.17\times 800}\\\\\text{Molality of naphthalene}=0.499m$

Hence, the molality of naphthalene solution is 0.499 m
