You decide it is time to clean your pool since summer is quickly approaching. Your pool maintenance guide specifies that the chlorine, Cl2, concentration of the pool should be between 1 and 3 ppm. In order to determine if your pool is safe to swim in, you send a sample of pool water to a chemist for analysis of the Cl2 content. The chemist reports a chlorine concentration of 3.81×10−5 M. Convert the concentration of Cl2 to parts per million (ppm).

Question

You decide it is time to clean your pool since summer is quickly approaching. Your pool maintenance guide specifies that the chlorine, Cl2, concentration of the pool should be between 1 and 3 ppm. In order to determine if your pool is safe to swim in, you send a sample of pool water to a chemist for analysis of the Cl2 content. The chemist reports a chlorine concentration of 3.81×10−5 M.

Convert the concentration of Cl2 to parts per million (ppm).

Expert Solution
Step 1

We know that 1 ppm = 1 mg / L 

1 g = 1000 mg 

Conversation of mol to g :

 mol = mol × g / mol = g 

Molecular weight of Cl2 = 2 × 35.5 g / mol

                                 = 71 g / mol
