A sample of drinking water was found to be severely contaminated with chloroform, CHCl_(3) , which is supposed to be carcinogenic in nature. The level of contamination was 15 pp m (by mass). a. Express this is precent by mass. b. determine the molarity of chloroform in the water sample.

Water contaminated with H_(2)S can be freed from H_(2)S by passing Cl_(2) through it. If the H_(2)S content in contaminated water is 22 ppm by mass how much Cl_(2) is needed to remove all the H_(2)S from 2xx10^(2) gallons of water. (1 gallon =3.785 litre)

A student collected three samples of water from different sources and found out the percentage of hydrogen and oxygen by mass in thse samples. It should have been 1 : 8 by mass. But it was different in all three samples, Moreover, the values did not match (i) In your opinion why did the student get different results for different samples ? (ii) What should have been done by him ? (iii) Which law of chemical combination is supported by these observations (iv) How will you check the purity of water in the laboratory ?
