calculate the concentration in parts per million (ppm) of DDT if a sample size of 2000 g contained 0.050 g DDT

Chemistry
1 answer:
Firlakuza [10]3 years ago
4 0

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

<u>= 25 ppm</u>

Decreasing the temperature of the reaction 3H2 + N2&lt;-----&gt;2NH3. In this reaction, the product absorbs heat. WHICH WAY WILL
AURORKA [14]

3H_{2}+N_{2}⇔2NH_{3}

Decreasing the temperature of the reaction,the reaction shifts forward.

The explanation is given below.

Explanation:

If the temperature of the reaction mixture is increased,then the equilibrium will shift to decrease the temperature.

If the temperature of the reaction mixture is decreased,then the equilibrium will shift to increase the temperature.

During the formation of the ammonia,it gives off heat.So it is an exothermic reaction.

3H_{2}+N_{2}⇔2NH_{3}

A decrease in the temperature favors the reaction that is exothermic (the forward reaction)because it produces energy.Therefore,if the temperature is decreased,the yield of the ammonia increases.

<em>Therefore if the temperature is increased,the reaction shifts forward and the yield of the ammonia increases and it is an exothermic reaction.</em>

A student checks the air in her bicycle tires early in the morning when it is cool outside. If she measures it again later in th
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

She will observe that the pressure on the tire is higher.

Explanation:

By the ideal gas law, the pressure and the temperature are directly proportional, so, if the temperature increases the pressure increases too:

PV = nRT (P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the number of moles, R is the ideal gas constant, and T is the temperature).

The temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the gas molecules, so when the temperature increases, the energy also increases, and the gas molecules will move more quickly, so they will collide more often between themselves and in the wall. Those collisions will be with more force because the velocity is higher.

So, the pressure will be higher, because it is the result of collisions of the gas molecules with the walls of the tire.

How do you balance a chemical equation?
Marianna [84]

Answer:

When you balance a chemical equation you change coefficients.You never change subscripts. A coefficient is a whole number multiplier. To balance a chemical equation you add the coefficients to make sure there are the same number of atoms on each side of the arrow.

Explanation:

Hope this helps. MARK BRAINLEST!!
