Federal regulations set an upper limit of 50 parts per million(ppm) of NH3 in the air in a work environment [that is, 50molecules of NH31g2 for every million molecules in the air].Air from a manufacturing operation was drawn through asolution containing 1.00 * 102 mL of 0.0105 M HCl. TheNH3 reacts with HCl according to: NH3(aq) + HCl(aq)-------->NH4Cl(aq) After drawing air through the acid solution for 10.0 min at arate of 10.0 L/min, the acid was titrated. The remaining acidneeded 13.1 mL of 0.0588 M NaOH to reach the equivalencepoint. (a) How many grams of NH3 were drawn into theacid solution? (b) How many ppm of NH3 were in the air?(Air has a density of 1.20 g/L and an average molar mass of29.0 g/mol under the conditions of the experiment.) (c) Isthis manufacturer in compliance with regulations?
Federal regulations set an upper limit of 50 parts per million

Air from a manufacturing operation was drawn through a
solution containing 1.00 * 102 mL of 0.0105 M HCl. The
NH3 reacts with HCl according to:
NH3(aq) + HCl(aq)-------->NH4Cl(aq)
After drawing air through the acid solution for 10.0 min at a
