Hello everyone today we are being asked to calculate the percent mass to volume for a solution that contains RB cl rubidium chloride at 25 degrees Celsius in a solution that contains 1.21% K C. L. Master volume. And we have to assume That there's a van Hoff factor of 1.7. So in doing this we have to note the molar masses of each compound that we have. So we see the molar mass of rubidium chloride Is going to be 119.91 g per mall Andy Mueller mass for KC. L. is going to be 74.55 g per mole. Next we must also assume just like we assume that there's a van Hoff factor 1.7 we must assume that we are acting in 100 g of a solution. Mhm. To soften our percent, we have to use to a geometry. So we take what we're given which is our 1.21%. And we convert that to grams by multiplying by 100. So you have 1.21 g of calcium potassium chloride. We multiplied by the molar mass ratio. So we say one mole of K C L is equal to 74.55 g of K C L. Next we have to do the multiple ratio between potassium chloride and rubidium chloride. And in doing that we can know that we have for every one mole of K C L. We have one mole of rubidium chloride. Next we have to do what we did with potassium chloride and multiply by the molar mass ratio. So we see that one roll of rubidium chloride on the bottom here is equal to that 119.91 g of rubidium chloride. Our units are going to cancel out, and we are going to be left with 1.95%. As our final answer. I hope this helped ahead until next time.

The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) sets a limit for mercury—a toxin to the central nervous system—at 0.0020 ppm by mass. Water suppliers must periodically test their water to ensure that mercury levels do not exceed this limit. Suppose water becomes contaminated with mercury at twice the legal limit (0.0040 ppm). How much of this water would a person have to consume to ingest 50.0 mg of mercury?

Textbook Question

Water softeners often replace calcium ions in hard water with sodium ions. Since sodium compounds are soluble, the presence of sodium ions in water does not cause the white, scaly residues caused by calcium ions. However, calcium is more beneficial to human health than sodium because calcium is a necessary part of the human diet, while high levels of sodium intake are linked to increases in blood pressure. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that adults ingest less than 2.4 g of sodium per day. How many liters of softened water, containing a sodium concentration of 0.050% sodium by mass, would a person have to consume to exceed the FDA recommendation? (Assume a water density of 1.0 g>mL.)

Magnesium citrate, Mg3(C6H5O7)2, belongs to a class of laxatives called hyperosmotics, which cause rapid emptying of the bowel. When a concentrated solution of magnesium citrate is consumed, it passes through the intestines, drawing water and promoting diarrhea, usually within 6 hours. Calculate the osmotic pressure of a magnesium citrate laxative solution containing 28.5 g of magnesium citrate in 235 mL of solution at 37 °C (approximate body temperature). Assume complete dissociation of the ionic compound.
