Answer:

138 mg

Explanation:

A company is testing drinking water and wants to ensure that Ca content is below 155 ppm (= 155 mg/kg), that is, <em>155 milligrams of calcium per kilogram of drinking water</em>. We need to find the maximum amount of calcium in 890 g of drinking water.

Step 1: Convert the mass of drinking water to kilograms.

We will use the relation 1 kg = 1000 g.

890g \times \frac{1kg}{1000g} =0.890kg

Step 2: Calculate the maximum amount of calcium in 0.890 kg of drinking water

0.890gH_2O \times \frac{155mgCa}{1kgH_2O} = 138mgCa

The active ingredient in some oral anesthetics used in sore throat sprays. what is the molar mass of phenol?
raketka [301]

Answer: Molecular mass of the phenol is 94g/mol.

Explanation:

Phenol is an active ingredient in some oral anesthetics used in sore throat sprays.It is used as anesthetics to cure minor sour throat pain , minor mouth irritations etc.

For Example : Cramex , Chloraseptic sprays contains phenol as an active ingredient.

Phenol has a molecular formula of C_6H_5OH

Molecular mass of the phenol = 6(mass of carbon)+5(mass of hydrogen)+1(mass of oxygen)+1(mass of hydrogen) = 6(12)+5(1)+1(16)+(1) = 94 g/mol

In an exothermic reaction, energy is blank the surroundings.
S_A_V [24]

Answer: released to; absorbed from

- In an exothermic reaction, energy is released to the surroundings.

- In an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed from the surroundings.

Explanation:

An exothermic reaction is a chemical reaction that occurs spontaneously and brings about the release of energy to the surroundings. Hence, the reacting vessel feels hot as the reaction proceeds.

An endothermic reaction, on the other hand, does not occur spontaneously and proceed only when energy is absorbed from the surroundings. Hence, the reacting vessel feels cold as the reaction proceeds.

Acenapthalene has the empirical formula C6H5. A solution of 0.515 g of acenapthalene in 15.0 g CHCl3 boils at 62.5oC. The normal
german

Answer:

The molecular formula of an ascenapthalene is C_{12}H_{10}

Explanation:

\Delta T_b=K_b\times m

\Delta T_b=K_b\times \frac{\text{Mass of acenapthalene}}{\text{Molar mass of acenapthalene}\times \text{Mass of chloroform in Kg}}

where,

\Delta T_f =Elevation in boiling point = (62.5-61.7)^oC=0.8^oC

Mass of acenapthalene = 0.515 g

Mass of CHCl_3 = 15.0 g = 0.015 kg (1 kg = 1000 g)

K_b = boiling point constant = 3.63 °C/m

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

0.8^0C=3.67 ^oC/m\times \frac{0.515}{\text{Molar mass of acenapthalene}\times 0.015kg}

\text{Molar mass of acenapthalene}=155.7875 g/mol

Let the molecule formula of the Acenapthalene be C_{6n]H_{5n}

6n\times 12 g/mol+5n\times 1 g/mol=155.7875 g/mol

n = 2.0

The molecular formula of an ascenapthalene is C_{12}H_{10}

H+ ions increase in concentration at lower pH values. Calculate how many more H+ ions there are in a solution at a pH = 2 than i
joja [24]

The H⁺ ion concentration can be calculated from pH values using the following equation:

pH=-log[H⁺]

1.) Given pH = 2

Using the above equation, 2 = - log [H⁺]

Therefore, [H⁺] = 10⁻² mol/L

2.) Given pH = 6

Using the same equation, we have 6 = - log [H⁺]

Hence, [H⁺] = 10⁻⁶ mol/L

3.) Taking the ratio of [H⁺] for pH = 2 and pH = 6, we have

\frac{10^{-2} }{10^{-6} } = 10⁴

So, there are 10,000 times more H⁺ ions in a solution of pH = 2 than that of pH = 6.
