Question

Part A. Calculate the initial molarity of MCHMMCHM in the river, assuming that the first part of the river is 7.60 feet deep, 100.0 yards wide, and 100.0 yards long. 1 gallon = 3.785 LL.

1.037×10⁻²

Part B.

How much farther down the river would the spill have to spread in order to achieve a "safe" MCHMMCHMconcentration of 1.00×10−4M1.00×10−4M? Assume the depth and width of the river are constant and the concentration of MCHMMCHM is uniform along the length of the spill.

Express your answer to four significant figures.

Need help with part B answer must be in yards. Part a has already been answered

In 2014, a major chemical leak at a facility in West
Virginia released 7500 gallons of MCHM (4-
methylcyclohexylmethanol, Cg H16O) into the Elk
River. The density of MCHM is 0.9074 g/mL.
