A geochemist measures the concentration of salt dissolved in Lake Parsons and finds a concentration of 28.44 g:L The geochemist also -1 measures the concentration of salt in several nearby non-isolated lakes, and finds an average concentration of 6.22 g:L. Assuming the salt concentration in Lake Parsons before it became isolated was equal to the average salt concentration in nearby non-isolated lakes, calculate the percentage of Lake Parsons which has evaporated since it became isolated. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Swimming pool water is often made safe for swimming by treating with chlorine in the form of sodium hypocholrite (NaOCI) solution. If a swimming pool contains 5.62×10^5L of water, what volume of 5.00% NaOCI (by mass) solution is required to produce a sodium hypoclorite concentrarion of 3.00×10^-7 mol /L? (assuume the density of water and the NaOCI solution is 1.00g/ml). Do not give handwriting solution.

A chemistry student must write down in her lab notebook the concentration of a solution of sodium thiosulfate. The concentration of a solution equals the mass of what's dissolved divided by the total volume of the solution. Here's how the student prepared the solution: • The label on the graduated cylinder says: empty weight: 5.0 g She put some solid sodium thiosulfate into the graduated cylinder and weighed it. With the sodium thiosulfate added, the cylinder weighed 61.167 g. • She added water to the graduated cylinder and dissolved the sodium thiosulfate completely. Then she read the total volume of the solution from the markings on the graduated cylinder. The total volume of the solution was 10.64 mL. What concentration should the student write down in her lab notebook? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. - 1 g•mL х10
