Mole Concept

Mole concept is a method to determine the amount of any substance that consists of some elemental particles using a grouping unit called ‘mole’. The mole concept enables one to handle the large amount of small elementary particles. The mole concept can be used in many calculations related to mole calculation, molar amount, mole ratio, and so on, which are significant in chemistry.

Question

What is the mass of fish, in
kilograms, that one would have to
consume to obtain a fatal dose
of mercury, if the fish contains
30 parts per million of mercury
by weight? (Assume that all the
mercury from the fish ends up as
mercury(II) chloride in the body
and that a fatal dose is 0.20 g of
HgCl,.)

Suppose a student needs to standardize a sodium thiosulfate, Na, S,O,, solution for a titration experiment. To do so, he or she 3 will react it with a solution of iodine. The student adds a 1.00 mL aliquot of 0.0200 M KIO, solution to a flask, followed by 3 mL of distilled water, 0.2 g of solid KI, and 1 mL H,SO4. The student then titrates the solution with sodium thiosulfate solution in order to determine the exact concentration of Na, S,O3. The end point of the titration is reached after 0.85 mL of Na, S, O, is dispensed from a microburet. What is the concentration of the standard sodium thiosulfate solution? concentration = М

Part of a routine blood test is to check the level of sodium in your blood. It is optimum to have between 135 and 146 micromoles per milliliter [mumol/mL] of sodium. Having an amount too high or too low can cause a variety of health issues. Sodium has a molecular mass of 23 grams per mole [g/mol]. A blood sample is 2.7 [ml]. Determine the minimum mass of sodium that must be present to surpass the upper optimum limit of 146 micromoles per milliliter [mu mol/mL].
Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda), NaHCO3, can be purified by dissolving it in hot water (60 °C), filtering to remove insoluble impurities, cooling to 0 °C to precipitate solid NaHCO3, and then filtering to remove the solid, leaving soluble impurities in solution. Any NaHCO3 that remains in solution is not recovered. The solubility of NaHCO3 in hot water of 60 °C is 164 g/L. Its solubility in cold water of 0 °C is 69 g/L. What is the percent yield of NaHCO3 when it is purified by this method?

You are the public health officer in the water treatment facility for a city of 50,000 people. A concentration of 1.0 ppm fluride in the drinking water is sufficient for the purpoise of helping to prevent tooth decay. The compound normally chosen for fluoridation is the same as is found in some toothpastes, sodium fluoride (NaF). Calculate how many kilograms of sodium fluride you will need to purchase in order to fluoridate the city's water supply for one year, based upong your estimate that the average daily consumption of water is 150 gallons per person You will find the following information helping in solving the problem below. Sodium fluride, NaF, is 45.0% fluride by mass. 1 ppm means "one part per million" by mass, e.g. 1 g of fluoride peron million grams of water 1 gallon = 3.79 L 1 year = 365 days 1 ton = 2000lb 1 lb = 453.6 g Density of water = 1.0 g/mL
