Concept explainers
Interpretation:
The mass of sodium (in mg) consumed is to be calculated.
Concept Introduction:
Solutions are homogeneous mixtures made up of two components, the solute and the solvent.
The same solutes and solvents can form a number of combinations by varying their amounts. These combinations can be differentiated in terms of concentration of solutions. Concentration of a solution is defined as the amount of solute present in the given amount of solvent.
There are many ways of expressing concentration of a solution, such as mass percent, volume percent, molarity, parts per million.
Mass percent is defined as the mass of solute present in
Volume percent is defined as the mass of solute present in
Parts per million is defined as the mass of solute present in

- Consider the following solubility graph. (a) At point A, how many grams of the compound are dissolved in 100 g of water? Is the solution saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated? (b) At point B, how many grams of the compound are dissolved in 100 g of water? Is the solution saturated, unsaturated, or supersaturated? (c) How would you prepare a saturated solution at 30C?arrow_forwardSuppose that you are closing a cabin in the north woods for the winter and you do not want the water in the toilet tank to freeze. You know that the temperature might get as low as 30. C, and you want to protect about 4.0 L water in the toilet tank from freezing. Calculate the volume of ethylene glycol (density = 1.113 g/mL; molar mass = 62.1 g/mol) you should add to the 4.0 L water.arrow_forwardWhat mass of a 4.00% NaOH solution by mass contains 15.0 g of NaOH?arrow_forward

How many litres of dilute nitric acid can she prepare from the concentrated nitric acid solution she purchased?arrow_forwardThe maximum level of lead allowed in drinking water is 15 mg/kg. What is this concentration in units of parts per million?arrow_forwardParts per million (ppm) is a common way to express small concentrations of a solute in water. A sample of tap water that is. 25 ppm Cl contains 25 grams of Cl for every 1,000,000 grams of water. Which units are numerically equal to ppm for dilute aqueous solutions? ng/L cg/L mg/L µg/L O g/Larrow_forward

What is this concentration in parts per million?arrow_forwardSeliah is working in a biology lab and makes a 5.00 M solution of glucose in 200.0 mL of water. If she then removed 12.0 mL of water from the solution, how many grams of glucose would be in that 12.0 mL of solution?arrow_forwardIf a sample of water is being determined to contain 389 ppm of lead, how many g of lead does one gallon (1 gal = 3785 g of water) of this lead contaminated water contain? Round your answer to 4 decimal digits.arrow_forward
