The units of parts per million (ppm) and parts per billion (ppb) are commonly used by environmental chemists. In general, 1 ppm means 1 part of solute for every 106 parts of solution. Mathematically, by mass:
In the case of very dilute aqueous solutions, a concentration of 1.0 ppm is equal to 1.0 µg of solute per 1.0 mL, which equals 1.0 g solution. Parts per billion is defined in a similar fashion. Calculate the molarity of each of the following aqueous solutions.
a. 5.0 ppb Hg in H2O
b. 1.0 ppb CHCl3 in H2O
c. 10.0 ppm As in H2O
d. 0.10 ppm DDT (C14H9Cl5) in H2O

- A student wants to prepare 1.00 L of a 1.00-M solution of NaOH (molar mass = 40.00 g/mol). If solid NaOH is available, how would the student prepare this solution? If 2.00 M NaOH is available, how would the student prepare the solution? To help ensure three significant figures in the NaOH molarity, to how many significant figures should the volumes and mass be determined?arrow_forwardWithout consulting your textbook, list and explain the main postulates of the kinetic molecular theory for gases. How do these postulates help us account for the following bulk properties of a gas: the pressure of the gas and why the pressure of the gas increases with increased temperature; the fact that a gas tills its entire container; and the fact that the volume of a given sample of gas increases as its temperature is increased.arrow_forward35. For each of the following solutions, the mass of solute is given, followed by the total volume of the solution prepared. Calculate the molarity of each solution. a. 3.51 g NaCl: 25 mL c. 3.51 g NaCl: 75 mL b. 3.51 g NaCl; 50. mL d. 3.51 g NaCl; l.00 Larrow_forward
- The units of parts per million (ppm) and parts per billion (ppb) are commonly used by environmental chemists. In general, 1 ppm means 1 part of solute for every 106 parts of solution. Mathematically, by mass: ppm=gsolutegsolution=mgsolutekgsolution In the case of very dilute aqueous solutions, a concentration of 1.0 ppm is equal to 1.0 g of solute per 1.0 mL, which equals 1.0 g solution. Parts per billion is defined in a similar fashion.

Calculate the mass of ethylene glycol you would need to mix with 950. g water.arrow_forwardA soft drink contains an unknown mass of citric acid, C3H5O(COOH)3. It requires 6.42 mL of 9.580 × 10−2-M NaOH to neutralize the citric acid in 10.0 mL of the soft drink. C3H5O(COOH)3(aq) + 3 NaOH(aq) → Na3C3H5O(COO)3(aq) + 3 H2O(ℓ) Determine which step in these calculations for the mass of citric acid in 1 mL soft drink is incorrect? Why? n (NaOH) = (6.42 mL)(1L/1000 mL)(9.580 × 10−2 mol/L) n (citric acid) = (6.15 × 10−4 mol NaOH) × (3 mol citric acid/1 mol NaOH) m (citric acid in sample) = (1.85 × 10−3 mol citric acid) × (192.12 g/mol citric acid) m (citric acid in 1 mL soft drink) = (0.354 g citric acid)/(10 mL soft drink) Determine the correct result.arrow_forward
