Answer:

The correct answer is c. 30%

Explanation:

Groundwater is that found below the earth's surface. Groundwater is contained in aquifers. An Aquifer is a geological formation or a part of it, consisting of a permeable material capable of storing a certain significant amount of water. Aquifers can consist of different material, such as sedimentary permeable rocks such as sand stones or mud stones.

In general, it maintains a temperature very similar to the annual average in the area, therefore, in arctic regions, it can freeze.

Groundwater represents around 30% of the world's fresh water.

<u><em>The correct answer is c. 30%</em></u>

How to change 5 % W/V of NaCl to ppm , M ? molar mass = 58.5<br>please clear explain​
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

50000ppm and 0.855M.

Explanation:

ppm is an unit of chemistry defined as the ratio between mg of solute (NaCl) and Liters of solution. Molarity, M, is the ratio between moles of NaCl and liters

A 5% (w/v) NaCl contains 5g of NaCl in 100mL of solution.

To solve the ppm of this solution we need to find the mg of NaCl and the L of solution:

<em>mg NaCl:</em>

5g * (1000mg / 1g) = 5000mg

<em>L Solution:</em>

100mL * (1L / 1000mL) = 0.100L

ppm:

5000mg / 0.100L = 50000ppm

To find molarity we need to obtain the moles of NaCl in 5g using its molar mass:

5g * (1mol / 58.5g) = 0.0855moles NaCl

Molarity:

0.0855mol NaCl / 0.100L = 0.855M

Describe how you can figure out how many grams of a COMPOUND if you know how many moles there
____ [38]
Divide the mass of the compound in grams by the molar mass you just calculated. The answer is the number of moles of that mass of compound. For example, 25 grams of water equals 25/18.016 or 1.39 moles.

A pharmacist wishes to strengthen a mixture from 10%alcohol to 30% alcohol. How much pure alcohol should be added to 7 liters of
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

2 litres of pure alcohol will be added to make the overall concentration of 9 litres of mixture as 30%.

Explanation:

Suppose x is the number of litres added to the 10% mixture than the quantity of new mixture is given as below

  • n_{old}=7 litres
  • n_{new}=7+x litres

Also the quantity of alcohol is given as

  • q_{old}=10 \% \, of \, 7 \, litres =0.7
  • q_{added}=x
  • q_{new}= 30 \% \,of \,new\, quantity = 0.3(7+x)

Now the equation is as

                                  q_{old}+q_{added}=q_{new}\\0.7+x=0.3(7+x)\\0.7+x=2.1+0.3x\\x-0.3x=2.1-0.7\\0.7x=1.4\\x=2 \, litres

So 2 litres of pure alcohol will be added to make the overall concentration of 9 litres of mixture as 30%.
