Why do some scientists prefer to express concentrations of water contaminants in the units ppm and ppb rather than molarity?

Chemistry
1 answer:
ira [324]3 years ago
4 0

Explanation:

These molarity units are used to express very small solute concentrations. Molarity cannot be used to express small amount of solute dissolved in solvents.

parts per million ppm  is a dimensionless quantity that represents the part of a whole number in units of \frac{1}{1000000}

parts per billion ppb represents the part of a whole in units of  \frac{1}{1000000000}

These quantities are useful in determining very small amount of solute like gold concentration in stream sediments.

explain how to determine the number of atoms, cations, and anions in ionic compounds. use an example to explain. ​
Damm [24]

Answer:

use coefficients and subscripts to determine how many atoms are in a compound. If there is no subscript or coefficient, assume it is 1. If there is a coefficient, multiply it with the subscripts. For counting cations and anions, determine first which is the anion and cation (anion = nonmetal, cation = metal), then count the number of that ion.

Example:

NaCl

one atom of Na, one atom of Cl. Since Na is a metal, it is a cation. Cl is a nonmetal, so it is an anion.

2CaCl2

2 atoms of Ca, 4 atoms of Cl. There are 2 cations, since Na is a metal, and 4 anions since Cl is a nonmetal

LenKa [72]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

exceeds evaporation over land

Precipitation<u> exceeds evaporation over land </u>

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>In order to maintain earths water balance, evaporation exceeds precipitation over oceans but precipitation exceeds evaporation over land.</u></em>
  • Water evaporates into the atmosphere from the ocean and to a much lesser extent from the continents. Winds transport this moisture-laden air, often great distances, until conditions cause the moisture to condense into clouds and to precipitate and fall.
  • Most precipitation originates by evaporation from the oceans. Over time, water evaporated from the oceans is replenished by inflow of freshwater from rivers and streams.
