Question

The concentration of CI ion in a sample of H,0 is 15.0 ppm. What mass of CI ion is present in 240.0 mL of H,0, which has a density of 1.00 g/mL?

Answer 1

Mass of solute = 0.0036 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Concentration of Cl⁻ = 15.0 ppm

Volume of water = 240 mL

Mass of Cl⁻ present = ?

Solution:

1 mL = 1 g

240 mL = 240 g

Formula:

ppm = mass of solute / mass of sample ×1,000,000

by putting values,

15.0 ppm = (mass of solute / 240 g) ×1,000,000

Mass of solute = 15.0 ppm × 240 g / 1,000,000

Mass of solute = 0.0036 g
