A sample of drinking water was found to e severely contaminated with chloroform `(CHCl_(3))` supposed to e a carcinogen. The level of contamination was 15 ppm (by mass).
(i). Express this in percent by mass
(ii). Determine the molality of chloroform in the water sample.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`a. 15xx10^(-4)g, b. 1.25xx10^(-25)m`
a. `pp m=(W_(2))/("Weight of solution")xx10^(6)`
`(15)/(10^(6))=(W_(2))/(Weight of solution)`
`%` By mass `=(15)/(10^(6))xx100=15xx10^(-4)g`
b. `Mw` of `CHMCl_(30=119.5g`
`W_(2)=15xx10^(-4)g`
Weight of solution `=100g`
Weight of solvent `=W_(1)=(100-15xx10^(-4))`
`=99.998g`
`m=(W_(2)xx1000)/(Mw_(2)xxW_(1))=(15xx10^(-4)xx10^(3))/(119.5xx99.998)`
`=1.25xx10^(-5)m`

What will be the molality of chloroform in the water sample which contains 15 ppm chloroform by mass?

A chemical solvent is a substance that dissolves another to form a solution. For example, water is a solvent for sugar. Unfortunately, many chemical solvents are hazadous to the environment. One eco-friendly chemical solvent is chloroform, also known as trichloromethane (CHCl_(3)) . The table above shows the chemical makeup of one mole of chloroform. Q.Carbon makes up what percent of the mass of one mole of chloroform? Round your answer to the nearest whole percent and ignore the percent sign when entering you answer.

Hydrogen Atom and Hydrogen Molecule The observed wavelengths in the line spectrum of hydrogen atom were first expressed in terms of a series by johann Jakob Balmer, a Swiss teacher. Balmer's empirical empirical formula is 1/lambda=R_(H)(1/2^(2)-1/n^(2))," " N=3, 4, 5 R_(H)=(Me e^(4))/(8 epsilon_(0)^(2)h^(3) c)=109. 678 cm^(-1) Here, R_(H) is the Rydberg Constant, m_(e) is the mass of electron. Niels Bohr derived this expression theoretically in 1913. The formula is easily generalized to any one electron atom//ion. A formula analogous to Balmer's formula applies to the series of spectral lines which arise from transition from higher energy levels to the lowest energy level of hydrogen atom. Write this formula and use it to determine the ground state energy of a hydrogen atom in eV. A 'muonic hydrogen atom' is like a hydrogen atom in which the electron is replaced by a heavier particle, the muon. The mass of a muon is about 207 times the mass of an electron, while its charge is the same as that of an electron. A muon has a very short lifetime, but we ignore its ubstable nature here.

A water is said to be soft water if it produces sufficient foam with the soap and water that does not produce foam with soap is known as hard water. Hardness has been classified into two types (i)Temporary hardness (ii) Permanent hardness. Temporary hardness is due to presence of calcium and magnesium bicarbonate. It is simply removed by boiling as Ca(HCO_(3))_(2)overset(Delta)rarr CaCO_(3)darr+CO_(2)uarr+H_(2)O Mg(HCO_(3))_(2)overset(Delta)rarr MgCO_(3)darr+CO_(2)uarr+H_(2)O temporary hardness can also be removed by addition of slaked lime, Ca(OH)_(2) Ca(HCO_(3))_(2)+Ca(OH)_(2) to 2CaCO_(3)darr+2H_(2)O permanent hardsness is due to presencce of sulphates and chlorides of Ca,Mg,etc. It is removed by washing soda as CaCl_(2)+Na_(2)CO_(3) to CaCO_(3)darr+2NaCl CaSO(4)+Na_(2)CO_(3)to CaCO_(3)darr+Na_(2)SO_(4) Permanent hardness also removed by ion exchange resin process as 2RH+Ca^(2+)toR_(2)Ca+2H^(+) 2ROH+SO_(4)^(2-) to R_(2)SO_(4)+2OH^(-) The degree of hardness of water is measured in terms of PPm of CaCO_(3) 100 PPm means 100 g of CaCO_(3) is present in 10^(6) g of H_(2)O . If any other water sample which contain 120 PPm of MgSO_(4) , hardness in terms of CaCO_(3) is equal to =100 PPm. One litre of a sample of hard water (d=1 g/mL) cotains 136 mg of CaSO_(4) and 190 mg of MgCl_(2) . What is the total hardness of water in terms of CaCO_(3) ?
