Answer:
a. Approximately .
b. Approximately .
Explanation:
The unit of concentration "" is equivalent to "
", which means "moles per liter."
However, the volume of both solutions were given in mililiters . Convert these volumes to liters:
.
.
In a solution of volume where the concentration of a solute is
, there would be
(moles of) formula units of this solute.
Calculate the number of moles of formula units in each of the two solutions:
Solution in a.:
.
Solution in b.:
.
What volume of that (same as
)
solution would contain that many
For the solution in a.:
.
Convert the unit of that volume to milliliters:
.
Similarly, for the solution in b.:
.
Convert the unit of that volume to milliliters:
.
50 grams or 50,000 mili grams is the mass of solute in 1000 grams of a solution having a concentration of 5 parts per million.
Explanation:
Total mass of solution = 1000 grams or 1000 ml since 1 gram = 1 ml
concentration is 5 parts per million ( 5 mg in 1000 ml solution or 0.005 gram in 1000 ml)
the formula used for parts per million:
parts per million =
putting the values in the equation:
parts per million =
0.005 x 1000 = mass of solute
50 grams= mass of solute
converting this into mg
50,000 mg. is the total mass of solute in 5ppm of 1000 ml solution.
