A pool is filled with 24.0 liters of a chlorine-water solution with 8.00 ppm of chlorine.
How many milligrams of chlorine are in the pool?
ppm is milligrams per liter for aqueous solutions
8.00 mg/L * 24.0 L
multiply it lol, the answer should be 192 mg
To calculate the number of milligrams of chlorine in the pool, we need to convert the volume of the solution from liters to milliliters, and then use the concentration of chlorine in parts per million (ppm) to calculate the amount of chlorine in milligrams.
The conversion from liters to milliliters is straightforward: 1 liter is equal to 1000 milliliters. So, we have 24.0 liters = 24.0 × 1000 = 24000 milliliters.
Next, we can calculate the amount of chlorine in milligrams using the concentration in parts per million (ppm). Since 1 ppm is equal to 1 mg per liter, we can multiply the concentration by the volume in liters to get the amount of chlorine in milligrams.
The calculation is as follows:
Amount of chlorine (mg) = concentration (ppm) × volume (liters)
In this case,
Amount of chlorine (mg) = 8.00 ppm × 24.0 liters
Now we can calculate the amount of chlorine in the pool.
Amount of chlorine (mg) = 8.00 ppm × 24000 milliliters
Multiplying the values:
Amount of chlorine (mg) = 192000 milligrams
Therefore, there are 192,000 milligrams of chlorine in the pool.
Thank you, Scott!
8.00 mg/L *24.0L? Not even an option in the multiple-choice.
Thanks for what? it's not even the answer!
