Answer:
- second choice:<em><u> 1.0 g of the solution contains 15 × 10⁻⁶ g of benzene.</u></em>
Explanation:
ppm is a unit of concentration that means parts per million. In grams that is grams of solute per one million (10⁶) grams of solution.
Then, <em>15 ppm of benzene</em> means that there are 15 grams of benzen in 1,000,000 grams of solution.
That leads to:
- 1,000,000 g solution / 15 g benzene
Multiplying numerator and denominator by 10⁻⁶ you find:
- 1,000,000 × 10⁻⁶ g solution / (15 × 10⁻⁶ g benzene)
Simplifying:
- 1.0 g solution / (15 × 10⁻⁶ g benzene)
Which is read as 1.0 g of the solution contains 15 × 10⁻⁶ g of benzene, i.e. the second answer choice.

Answer:
<em>What can be added to an atom to cause a nonvalence electron in the atom to temporarily become a valence electron </em>is<u><em> energy</em></u><em>.</em>
Explanation:
The normal state of the atoms, where all the electrons are occupying the lowest possible energy level, is called ground state.
The <em>valence electrons</em> are the electrons that occupy the outermost shell, this is the electrons in the highest main energy level (principal quantum number) of the atom.
So, a <em>nonvalence electron</em> occupies an orbital with less energy than what a valence electron does; in consequence, in order to a nonvalence electron jump from its lower energy level to the higher energy level of a valence electron, the former has to absorb (gain) energy.
This new state is called excited state and is temporary: the electron promoted to the higher energy level will emit the excess energy, in the form of light (photons), to come back to the lower energy level and so the atom return to the ground state.
