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>

Answer:

a)

Fe^{2+}⇒Fe^{3+}+e^-

Br_2+2e^-⇒2Br^-

b)

Mg⇒Mg^{2+}+2e^-

Cr^{3+}+e^-⇒Cr^{3+}

Explanation:

A)

Remember that positive number superscripts mean electrons lack and negative numbers mean electrons 'excess' (if we compare it with the neutral element). So, for the case of Fe2+ which is converted to Fe3+, we know that in Fe2+ there is a two electrons lack, while in Fe3+ there is a 3 electrons lack; it means that Fe2+ was converted to Fe3+ but releasing one electron:

Fe^{2+}⇒Fe^{3+}+e^-

The same analysis is applied to Br2; Br2 is a molecule which is said to have a zero superscript because it is an apolar covalent bond; and it is converted to Br-, which, according to what I wrote above, means that there is a one electron excess. So, Br2 must have received an electron in order to change to Br-; but Br2 can't change to Br- as simple as that because Br2 is a molecule, not an atom; it is a molecule that has two Br atoms, so, Br2 must give two Br- ions as products, but receiving one electron for each one:

Br_2+2e^-⇒2Br^-

b)

Applying the same, in Mg2+ there is a 2 electrons lack, and in Mg is not electron lack (its superscript is zero), so Mg must have released two electrons in order to change to Mg2+:

Mg⇒Mg^{2+}+2e^-

Cr3+ has a 3 electrons lack, and Cr2+ a two electrons one, so, Cr3+ must receive an electron to convert to Cr2+:

Cr^{3+}+e^-⇒Cr^{3+}
