BDE-47 is a flame retardant that was, until fairly recently, used in electronics and furniture. It bioaccumulates in the food chain and has negative effects on the thyroid and reproductive systems, so it is now banned in the US. One of my grad students found the concentration of BDE-47 (MW = 486) in Orono wastewater was 0.3 ppb. The Henry's Law constant for BDE- 47 is 8.4*10-4 atm-L/mol. Calculate the equilibrium partial pressure of BDE-47. 5.185*10^-10 5.185*10^-12 5.185*10^-13 5.185*10^-15

Suppose a group of students tell you that they added solid sodium chloride NaCls to 35 mL of deionized water and they did not record how many grams of NaCl they added but they got a freezing point depression of 1.25°C. Calculate how many grams of NaCl the students added. The pure freezing point of water is 0.00°C and the freezing point depression constant (K) of water is 1.858 °C/m. Remember that NaCl is a solid salt and an ionic compound therefore it contributes a negligible amount to the overall additive volume and keep track of its van't Hoff factor. The density of water at 20°C is 0.9982 g/mL.
