a water sample is found to have a cl- content of 100ppm as nacl what is the concentration of chloride in moles per liter
ladessa [460]

Answer:

The concentration of chloride ion is 2.82\times10^{-3}\;mol/L

Explanation:

We know that 1 ppm is equal to 1 mg/L.

So, the Cl^- content 100 ppm suggests the presence of 100 mg of Cl^- in 1 L of solution.

The molar mass of Cl^- is equal to the molar mass of Cl atom as the mass of the excess electron in Cl^- is negligible as compared to the mass of Cl atom.

So, the molar mass of Cl^- is 35.453 g/mol.

Number of moles = (Mass)/(Molar mass)

Hence, the number of moles (N) of Cl^- present in 100 mg (0.100 g) of Cl^- is calculated as shown below:

N=\frac{0.100\;g}{35.453\;g/mol}=2.82\times 10^{-3}\;mol

So, there is 2.82\times10^{-3}\;mol of Cl^- present in 1 L of solution.

Gwar [14]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 2.52 g/mL</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question

mass of object = 15.9 g

volume = final volume of water - initial volume of water

volume = 56.3 - 50 = 6.3 mL

It's density is

density =  \frac{15.9}{6.3}  \\  = 2.523809...

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.52 g/mL</h3>

Hope this helps you
