Question

High concentrations of ammonia (NH₃), nitrite ion, and nitrate ion in water can kill fish. Lethal concentrations of these species for rainbow trout are approximately 1.052 mg/L, 0.362 mg/L, and 1358.3 mg/L, respectively. Express these concentrations in molality units, assuming a solution density of 1.00 g/mL.

_________ m nitrate ion

__________ m nitrite ion

___________ m ammonia

Expert Solution

Step 1

Molality of a solution represents the concentration of a solute present in 1 kg of solvent, which is expressed as m or mol/kg.

Given:

Concentration of ammonia = 1.052 mg/L

Concentration of nitrite ion = 0.362 mg/L

Concentration of nitrate ion = 1358.3 mg/L

Density of solution = 1.00 g/mL
