Twenty-seven pounds (27 lb) of chlorine gas is used for treating 750,000 gal of water each day. The chlorine used up by the micr

oorganisms in the water is measured to be 2.6 mg/L. What is the residual (excess) chlorine concentration in the treated water?

Answer:

The correct answer is 1.778 milligrams per liter.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the concentration of chlorine gas given is 27 pounds or 27*453.59 = 12327.93 grams.

The quantity of water given is 750000 gallons or 750000 * 3.754 = 2815500 L

The concentration of chlorine used up by the microorganism is 2.6 mg/L or 0.0026 gm/L.

Thus, for 2815500 L of water, the amount of chlorine used is,

= 2815500 * 0.0026

= 7320.3 grams

The left quantity of chlorine is 12327.93 - 7320.3 = 5007.63 grams

The concentration of residual chlorine is,

= 5007.63 g/2815500 = 0.00177859 or 1.778 mg/L.

In the determining molar volume experiment, we will use water. how will vapor pressure play a role in this experiment?
Bas_tet [7]
Molar volume is a property of a component in a solution. It is defined as the volume occupied by one mole of the component in the closed system. You would not expect all solutions to execute volume additivity because intermolecular forces between the components come into play. There is no such thing as conservation of volume. 

Vapor pressure affects molar volume because gases are very sensitive by these process conditions. Vapor pressure is very temperature-dependent. Consequently, at a different temperature, your component could expand or compress, thus, affecting the molar volume. Moreover, the pressure affects the molecular collisions in the system.

1 What direction do<br> molecules move in?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The majority of the molecules move from higher to lower concentration, although there will be some that move from low to high. The overall (or net) movement is thus from high to low concentration.

. How many grams of magnesium chloride can be produced by reacting 2 moles of chlorine gas with excess magnesium bromide? ____Cl
dlinn [17]

Answer: 190 g of magnesium chloride can be produced by reacting 2 moles of chlorine gas with excess magnesium bromide.

Explanation:

The balanced chemical reaction is;

Cl_2+MgBr_2\rightarrow MgCl_2+Br_2

Cl_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and MgBr_2 is the excess reagent.

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of Cl_2 produces = 1 mole of MgCl_2

Thus 2 moles of Cl_2 will produce=\frac{1}{1}\times 2=2moles  of MgCl_2

 Mass of MgCl_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=2moles\times 95g/mol=190g

Thus 190 g of magnesium chloride can be produced by reacting 2 moles of chlorine gas with excess magnesium bromide
