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.

Schach [20]

Answer:

The energy of a wave is inversely proportional to the wavelength of the wave.

As wavelength increases, the energy of the wave decreases.

As wavelength decreases, the energy of the wave increases.

Explanation:

The energy of a wave is directly proportional to the wave's frequency. As frequency increases, so does the energy of the wave.

E\propto f (energy E is proportional to frequency f)

<u>How is this related to wavelength?</u>

Frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. That means that as frequency increases, wavelength decreases and as frequency decreases, wavelength increases.

f\propto \frac{1}{\lambda} (frequency f is inversely proportional to wavelength \lambda)

Therefore, as wavelength increases, the energy of a wave decreases and as wavelength decreases, the energy of a wave increases.

E\propto f\propto \frac{1}{\lambda}

A 100 ml graduated cylinder with an inside diameter of 3.2 cm contains 34.0 g of gasoline and 34.0 g of water. what is the combi
Ivahew [28]

The volume of cylinder is 100 mL, inner diameter is 3.2 cm thus, radius will be:

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{3.2 cm}{2}=1.6 cm

Volume of layer formed=\pi r^{2}h...... (1)

Volume of layer is also equal to sum of volume of gasoline and water.

Density of gasoline is 0.702 g/cm^{3} and mass is 34 g thus, volume of gasoline will be:

V=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{34 g}{0.702 g/cm^{3}}=48.43 cm^{3}

Now, density of water is 1 g/cm^{3} and mass is 34 g thus, volume of water will be:

V=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{34 g}{1 g/cm^{3}}=34 cm^{3}

Adding both the volumes, volume of layer will be:

Volume of layer=48.43 cm^{3}+34 cm^{3}=82.43cm^{3}

Putting the values in equation (1) to solve for height of the layer,

h=\frac{volume of layer}{\pi r^{2}}=\frac{82.43 cm^{3}}{3.14\times 1.6 cm\times 1.6 cm}=10.25 cm

Thus, height of layer is 10.25 cm

Calculate the number of moles of BaF2 in a 10.0 g sample of BaF2.
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

The number of moles = 0.06 moles

Explanation:

i) Formula

Number of moles = Mass of the sample ÷ Molar masses of the substances

ii) Number of moles = 10.0 ÷ (137)+(19×2)

= 10.0 ÷ 175

= 0.06 moles
