The concentration of C29H60 in summer rainwater is 34 ppb. Find the molarity of this compound in nanomoles per liter (nM).
1 answer:
Answer: The concentration of C29H60 in nM per liter is 83,33 nM/liter
Explanation: Let's start from the ppb definition: ppb means parts per billion. In terms of concentracion measuring this means micrograms of solute per liter of solution.
The algebraic expression would be:
<em>ppb [=] micrograms of compound/liter of solution</em>
We can assume that the solvent is water. The solute is dissolved in water and both create the C29H60 solution.
For the exercise we have 34 ppb of C29H60, that means 34 micrograms of C29H60 in one liter of solution. So, since now, we have to convert the units from the initial data to the required answer.
The respective procedure is in a attached file.

Answer:
b) +2 and +3.
Explanation:
Hello,
In this case, given the molecular formulas:
And:
We can relate the subscripts with the oxidation states by knowing that they are crossed when the compound is formed, for that reason, we notice that oxygen oxidation state should be -2 for both cases and the oxidation state of X in the first formula must be +2 since both X and O has one as their subscript as they were simplified:
Moreover, for the second case the oxidation state of X should be +3 in order to obtain 3 as the subscript of oxygen:
Thus, answer is b)+2 and +3
Best regards.
