How much salt (NaCl) is carried by a river flowing at 30.0 m3/s and containing 50.0 mg/L of salt
1 answer:
Answer:
129,600kg/day
Explanation:
The river is flowing at 30.0
1 m³ is equivalent to 1000L
flowrate of river = 30*1000 =30,000L/s
Convert L/s to litre per day by multiplying by 24*60*60
flowrate of river = 30,000 * 24*60*60 L/day
= 2,592,000,000L/day
if the river contains 50mg of salt in 1L of solution
lets find how many mg of salt Y is contained in 2,592,000,000L/day
by cross multiplying we have
Y=
Y= 129,600,000,000 mg/day
convert this value to kg/day by dividing by 1 million
Y= 129,600,000,000/1000000
Y= 129,600kg/day

Each isotope of Oxygen has a different number of neutrons
<h3>Further explanation </h3>The elements in nature have several types of isotopes
Atomic mass is the average atomic mass of all its isotopes
Isotopes are atoms has the same number of protons but has a different number of neutrons.
So Isotopes are elements that have the same Atomic Number (Proton)
Some of the isotopes of oxygen are:
Each isotope has 8 protons and 8 electrons but has a different number of neutrons
For O-16: number of neutrons = 16-8 = 8
For O-17: number of neutrons = 17-8 = 9
For O-18: number of neutrons = 18-8 = 10
