To determine

The concentration in atoms per millilitre of each of the constituent elements in the solution.

Answer to Problem 3.23P

Concentrations:

Number of atoms of Na added to the solution in 9 gm = 9.27×1019atoms Na/mL

Number of atoms of Cl added to the solution in 9 gm = 9.27×1019atoms Cl/mL

Number of atoms of H in 1 millilitre of water = 6.69×1022atoms H/mL

Number of atoms of O in 1 millilitre of water = 3.34×1022atoms O/mL

Explanation of Solution

Given Information:

9 g of NaCl were dissolved in 1 L of water

Calculation:

Na = 22.99 g/mole

Cl = 35.45 g/mole

NaCl = 58.43 g/mole

Calculating the number of atoms of Na added to the solution in 9 gm,

  (9g NaCl1L)×(mol NaCl58.43g NaCl)×(1 mol Na1mol NaCl)×(6.02×1023atoms Na1mol Na)×(1L1000mL = 9.27×1019atoms Na/mL

Calculating the number of atoms of Cl added to the solution in 9 gm,

  (9g NaCl1L)×(mol NaCl58.43g NaCl)×(1 mol Cl1mol NaCl)×(6.02×1023atoms Cl1mol Cl)×(1L1000mL)

  = 9.27×1019atoms Cl/mL

H = 1 g/mole

O = 16 g/mole

H2O = 2(1 g/mole) + 16 g/mole = 18 g/mole

Calculating the number of atoms of H in 1 millilitre of water (assume 1 litter = 1000 g water),

  (1000g H2O1L)×(mol H2O18g H2O)×(2 mol H1mol H2O)×(6.02×1023atoms H1mol H)×(1L1000mL) = 6.69×1022atoms H/mL

Calculating the number of atoms of O in 1 millilitre of water (assume 1 litter = 1000 g water),

  (1000g H2O1L)×(mol H2O18g H2O)×(2 mol O1mol H2O)×(6.02×1023atoms O1mol O)×(1L1000mL) = 3.34×1022atoms O/mL

Conclusion:

The concentration, in atoms per millilitre, of each of the constituent elements in the solution is as follows.

Number of atoms of Na added to the solution in 9 gm = 9.27×1019atoms Na/mL

Number of atoms of Cl added to the solution in 9 gm = 9.27×1019atoms Cl/mL

Number of atoms of H in 1 millilitre of water = 6.69×1022atoms H/mL

Number of atoms of O in 1 millilitre of water = 3.34×1022atoms O/mL

Imagine you are out for a stroll on a sunny day when you encounter a lake. Unpolarized light from the sun is reflected off the lake into your eyes. However, you notice when you put on your vertically polarized sunglasses, the light reflected off the lake no longer reaches your eyes. What is the angle between the unpolarized light and the surface of the water, in degrees, measured from the horizontal? You may assume the index of refraction of air is nair=1 and the index of refraction of water is nwater=1.33 . Round your answer to three significant figures. Just enter the number, nothing else.
