Chapter 14, Problem 14.53P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The required mass (in kg) zeolite A to soften a week’s supply of the water has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

Molarity:

Concentration of solution is given in the term of molarity and it is calculated as division of moles of solute by volume of solution (litre).

    $\text{Molarity}\text{=}\frac{\text{Mole}}{\text{Volume}\text{(L)}}$

Mole:

Mole of substance that present in solution is given by taken mass of substance divided by molar mass of substance.

    $\text{Mole}\text{=}\frac{\text{Mass}}{\text{Molar}\text{mass}}$
