A geochemist measures the concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parsons and finds a concentration of 21.0 gL⁻¹. The geochemist

also measures the concentration of salt in several nearby non-isolated lakes and finds an average concentration of 6.67 gL⁻¹.
Assuming the salt concentration in Lake Parsons before it became isolated was equal to the average salt concentration in nearby non-isolated lakes, calculate the percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated. Round each of your answers to significant digits.

Answer:

The percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated is 68.24%.

Explanation:

The concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parson = 21.0 g/L

= In 1 L of lake Parson  water = 21.0 g of salt

The concentration of salt in several nearby non-isolated lakes = 6.67  g/L

The salt concentration in Lake Parsons before it became isolated = 6.67 g/L

In 1 L of lake water = 6.67 g of salt

If 1 L of lake Parson  water has 6.67 g of salt. Then 21.0 grams of salt will be in ;

\frac{1}{6.67}\times 21.0 L = 3.15 L

Water evaporated = 3.15 L - 1 L = 2.15 L

The percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated:

\frac{2.15 L}{3.15 L}\times 100=68.25\%

Chemistry what is stoichiometry and the different formulas
USPshnik [31]
Stoichiometry is the relationship between the relative quantities of substances taking part in a reaction or forming a compound, typically a ratio of whole integers. Hoped this helped!!!!. Also if you are trying to look for the formulas it should be online just type in stoichometry formulas.

At which condition will the entropy of a pure solid be zero?
miss Akunina [59]
The condition at which the entropy of a pure solid will be zero is<span> when a substance is at absolute zero. Absolute zero is </span><span>the lowest temperature that is theoretically possible, at which the motion of particles which constitutes heat would be minimal. It is zero on the Kelvin scale, equivalent to −273.15°C.</span>

DochEvi [55]

Answer:

Cyanide

Explanation:

<em>Molecular Structure of Each Answer</em>

A:  CN-

B: NO3-

C: OH-

D: SO4 2-

As you can see, only A (Cyanide) is the only compound that does not contain oxygen, meaning it is NOT an oxyanion.
