Question
A farmer applies 1655 kg of a fertilizer that contains 10.0% nitrogen to his fields each year. Fifteen percent (15.0%) of the fertilizer washes into a river that runs through the farm.
If the river flows at an average rate of 0.195 cubic feet per second, what is the additional concentration of nitrogen (expressed in milligrams of nitrogen per liter) in the river water due to the farmer's fertilizer each year?
. mg/L

- A chemist prepares a solution of silver perchlorate (AgClO,) by weighing out 2.40 kg of silver perchlorate into a 500. mL volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water. Calculate the concentration in g/dL of the chemist's silver perchlorate solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. x10 đLarrow_forwardYou are making a rubbing alcohol (=isopropyl alcohol) solution to disinfect surfaces. You start with 323.1 mL of a 7.465 M isopropyl alcohol solution, and dilute it with pure water. After the dilution, you end up with a 1.856 M solution. What is the final volume of the solution after the water has been added? Enter your answer in the units of L (liters), do not enter the unit.arrow_forwardAn aqueous solution has a Molarity of 1.632 M. The density of the solution is (1.210x10^0) g/mL and the solute has a molar mass of (2.05x10^2) g/mol. What is the molality of this solution? Enter your answer in scientific notation with 3 sig figs. Do not include any units in your answer. Do not round any intermediate calculations. Note: Your answer is assumed to be reduced to the highest power possible.arrow_forward
- Dimensional Analysis is a way of doing numerical "book-keeping" when converting quantities or performing calculations. • When converting quantities from one unit to another, conversion factors are used. Solving with Dimensional Analysis and Multiple Units: If I am in Canada where the price of gas is $1.022 USD·L1, how much will it cost me to fill up my gas tank if I travelled 125 km? • Let's also assume that my car gets an average of 30.0 miles/gallon.arrow_forwardO MEASUREMENT Adding or subtracting and multiplying or dividing measurements A chemistry student must write down in her lab notebook the concentration of a solution of sodium hydroxide. The concentration of a solution equals the mass of what's dissolved divided by the total volume of the solution. Here's how the student prepared the solution: • The label on the graduated cylinder says: empty weight: 1.5 g • She put some solid sodium hydroxide into the graduated cylinder and weighed it. With the sodium hydroxide added, the cylinder weighed 36.669 g. • She added water to the graduated cylinder and dissolved the sodium hydroxide completely. Then she read the total volume of the solution from the markings on the graduated cylinder. The total volume of the solution was 37.11 mL. What concentration should the student write down in her lab notebook? Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. g mL Explanation -1 Check 99+ 0/5 VUDU © 2023 McGraw Hill LLC.
