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\%

A fish is removed from a contaminated lake. You determine that a particular toxin (X) is present in its cells at concentration X
netineya [11]
The level of toxins in the fish's cell is equivalent to the level of toxins in the water. Therefore, in order to reduce the toxins further, we should replace the now contaminated water with clean water. After the level of toxins in the fish's cell stops reducing, we replace the water with clean water once again.

Calculate the molality of a solution formed by adding 6.30 g NH4CL to 15.7 g of water
babymother [125]

Answer:

Molality = 7.5 mol/kg

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of NH₄Cl = 6.30 g

Mass of water = 15.7 g (15.7/1000 =0.016 kg)

Molality = ?

Solution:

Formula of molality:

Molality = Moles of solute / mass of solvent in gram

Now we will first calculate the number of moles of solute( NH₄Cl )

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of  NH₄Cl = 53.491 g/mol

Number of moles = 6.30 g/  53.491 g/mol

Number of moles =  0.12 mol

Now we will calculate the molality.

Molality = Moles of solute / mass of solvent in gram

Molality =  0.12 mol / 0.016 kg

Molality = 7.5 m

or        (m=mol/kg)

Molality = 7.5 mol/kg
