Concentration Units: % Mass, Volume and Other Units

Very Hard

(Originais Teachy 2023) - Question Very Hard of Chemistry

To determine the efficiency of a water purification process, a technician analyzes the concentration of a pollutant in a sample. The concentration of the pollutant is 2.4 parts per million (ppm) in a volume of 250 mL. However, a second technician measures the concentration of the same pollutant in another sample and obtains 3.5 parts per billion (ppb) in a volume of 500 L. Considering the difference in concentration units and volume, explain, based on stoichiometric calculation principles, how would you convert the measured concentrations to a single unit, such as mass percentage (m/m). Additionally, indicate which sample presents the highest concentration of the pollutant in terms of mass percentage and justify your answer with the necessary calculations.

The addition in cycloalkanes is a type of chemical reaction that occurs between two organic compounds, through the opening of an aromatic cycle. This reaction is responsible for the formation of a new compound, with the presence of a different functional group. What is the chemical equation for the addition of bromine to cyclopropane?

During a Chemistry class, a 1st-year high school student realized that the concept of mole, essential for understanding chemical reactions, could be applied in a daily life context. He decided to analyze the bread-making process to understand the importance of measuring the amount of reactants, such as yeast, to ensure the quality of the final product. Considering that 1 mole of any substance contains approximately 6.02 x 10^23 elementary entities, and knowing that biological yeast is a mixture of compressed yeast cells and starch, the student proposed the following calculation: 'If a baker uses 25 g of biological yeast to make 3 loaves of bread, and each loaf requires exactly 8 g of yeast for the dough to rise properly, what is the amount of matter, in moles, of biological yeast that the baker uses in each loaf?' Based on this information, answer: 1) What is the relationship between the mass of yeast used per loaf and the molar mass of yeast? 2) What is the practical importance, in terms of bread quality, of measuring the correct amount of yeast matter used in each loaf?

The German chemist Friedrich August Kekulé was very important for the development of organic chemistry by presenting his postulates on the structure of organic compounds in the 19th century. One of his most important postulates is the tetravalence of carbon. Considering the concept of tetravalence and covalent bonds in organic molecules, answer the following questions: a) Explain why carbon is tetravalent, and briefly describe the relationship of this concept with covalent bonds. b) Give examples of three organic compounds that have tetravalent carbon and their respective structural formulas. c) Describe how the postulate of carbon tetravalence was fundamental for understanding the structures of organic compounds in Kekulé's time and, consequently, how it influenced organic chemistry in general.
