It was suspected that 1mmol poisonous substance which weighed 0.3545g was deposited in a fish pond. Based on qualitative analysis it was found that the elements present in the substance are carbon,hydrogen and Chlorine. Calculate the total number of chlorine atoms deposited in the pond.rn[cl =35.5, C=12, H=1]
Accepted Answer
Sure, I can help you with that.
1. Calculate the number of moles of the substance
n = m/M
where:
* n is the number of moles
* m is the mass of the substance (in grams)
* M is the molar mass of the substance (in grams per mole)
n = 0.3545 g / (12 g/mol + 1 g/mol + 35.5 g/mol)
= 0.01 mol
2. Calculate the number of chlorine atoms in one molecule of the substance
Since the substance contains carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine, its molecular formula can be written as CxHyClz. The number of chlorine atoms in one molecule of the substance is z.
3. Calculate the total number of chlorine atoms deposited in the pond
Total number of chlorine atoms = n * z
where:
* n is the number of moles of the substance
* z is the number of chlorine atoms in one molecule of the substance
Total number of chlorine atoms = 0.01 mol * z
We don't know the value of z, so we can't calculate the total number of chlorine atoms deposited in the pond without additional information.
However, we can say that the total number of chlorine atoms deposited in the pond is at least 0.01 mol.
Here is the answer in JSON format:
{
"response": "The total number of chlorine atoms deposited in the pond is at least 0.01 mol."
