How many millimoles and molecules of solute are in 500 ml of a solution that is 5.41 ppm KMnO4?

5.41 ppm = 5.41 mg/L.

5.41 mg/L x 0.5L = ?mg
?mg x (1 g/1000 mg) = ? g
mols = g/molar mass = ?
Multiply by 1000 to convert to millimols.

For number of molecules, remember that 1 mol contains 6.022E23 molecules. Use that with the number of mole from above.

Oh boy, let me crunch some numbers and put on my clown wig!

So, the first thing we need to do is convert ppm to millimoles. One ppm is equivalent to one milligram per liter, which can be further simplified to one milligram per milliliter since both units are pretty close.

Now, since we have 500 ml of solution, we can say that there are 5.41 milligrams of KMnO4 in the entire solution.

But hold your clown nose, we're not done yet!

To find the number of millimoles, we need to know the molar mass of KMnO4. Luckily, I have a clown-sized periodic table handy, and the molar mass of KMnO4 is approximately 158.034 g/mol.

To convert from milligrams to millimoles, we need to divide the mass by the molar mass:

5.41 mg / 158.034 g/mol = 0.0342 mmol (approximately)

And for molecules, we'll have to put on our clown shoes and do some more calculations!

One millimole is equal to Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23) of molecules.

Therefore, 0.0342 mmol is equal to:

0.0342 mmol x 6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol = 2.058 x 10^22 molecules (approximately)

So, we have about 0.0342 millimoles and approximately 2.058 x 10^22 molecules of KMnO4 in 500 ml of the solution.

Hope that brings a smile to your face!

To determine the number of millimoles and molecules of solute in the given solution, we will follow these steps:

Step 1: Convert ppm to mg/L
Step 2: Calculate the number of milligrams of solute in the solution
Step 3: Convert milligrams to millimoles
Step 4: Calculate the number of molecules

Let's calculate them one by one:

Step 1: Convert ppm to mg/L
Since 1 ppm is equivalent to 1 mg/L, the solution concentration can be expressed as 5.41 mg/L KMnO4.

Step 2: Calculate the number of milligrams of solute in the solution
Given that the volume of the solution is 500 mL, and the concentration is 5.41 mg/L, we can calculate the amount of solute in the solution:

Mass of solute (mg) = concentration (mg/L) x volume of solution (L)
Mass of solute (mg) = 5.41 mg/L x 0.5 L
Mass of solute (mg) = 2.705 mg KMnO4

Step 3: Convert milligrams to millimoles
To convert the mass of solute to millimoles, we need to know the molar mass of KMnO4. The molar mass of KMnO4 is 158.034 g/mol.

Number of millimoles = (mass of solute in mg) / (molar mass in mg/mol)
Number of millimoles = 2.705 mg / 158.034 mg/mol
Number of millimoles = 0.01713 mmol KMnO4

Step 4: Calculate the number of molecules
To calculate the number of molecules, we need to know Avogadro's number, which is 6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol.

Number of molecules = (number of millimoles) x (Avogadro's number)
Number of molecules = 0.01713 mmol KMnO4 x (6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol)
Number of molecules = 1.032 x 10^22 molecules KMnO4

Therefore, in 500 mL of a solution that is 5.41 ppm KMnO4, there are approximately 0.01713 mmol KMnO4 and 1.032 x 10^22 molecules KMnO4.

To determine the number of millimoles and molecules of solute in a given solution, you need to follow a step-by-step process:

Step 1: Convert the given volume of the solution to liters.
500 ml = 500 / 1000 = 0.5 liters

Step 2: Calculate the number of millimoles (mmol) of solute.
ppm (parts per million) is equivalent to mg/L.
To calculate the millimoles, we need to convert the given ppm concentration of KMnO4 to mg/L and then to millimoles.

5.41 ppm = 5.41 mg/L

The molar mass (MW) of KMnO4 is:
K (39.1 g/mol) + Mn (54.9 g/mol) + 4O (16.0 g/mol) = 158.9 g/mol

To convert mg/L to millimoles:
mmol = (mg/L) / MW

mmol = 5.41 mg/L / 158.9 g/mol * 1000 mmol/mol

Note: Multiplying by 1000 is necessary to convert g/mol to mg/mol for units consistency.

mmol = 34.07 mmol

So, there are approximately 34.07 millimoles of KMnO4 in 500 ml of the solution.

Step 3: Calculate the number of molecules (or atoms) of KMnO4.
To calculate the number of molecules, we need to use Avogadro's number, which is 6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol.

molecules = mmol * Avogadro's number

molecules = 34.07 mmol * 6.022 x 10^23 molecules/mol

Note: Avogadro's number represents the number of entities (atoms, molecules, or ions) in one mole of a substance.

molecules = 2.051 x 10^25 molecules

Therefore, there are approximately 34.07 millimoles and 2.051 x 10^25 molecules of KMnO4 in 500 ml of the solution.
