Problem 114

The U.S. standard for arsenate in drinking water requires that public water supplies must contain no greater than 10 parts per billion (ppb) arsenic. If this arsenic is present as arsenate, \(\mathrm{AsO}_{4}^{3-},\) what mass of sodium arsenate would be present in a \(1.00-\mathrm{L}\) sample of drinking water that just meets the standard? Parts per billion is defined on a mass basis as $$ \mathrm{ppb}=\frac{\mathrm{g} \text { solute }}{\mathrm{g} \text { solution }} \times 10^{9} $$

Problem 115

Federal regulations set an upper limit of 50 parts per million (ppm) of \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) in the air in a work environment [that is, 50 molecules of \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}(g)\) for every million molecules in the air]. Air from a manufacturing operation was drawn through a solution containing \(1.00 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(0.0105 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{HCl}\). The \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) reacts with HCl according to: $$ \mathrm{NH}_{3}(a q)+\mathrm{HCl}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{NH}_{4} \mathrm{Cl}(a q) $$ After drawing air through the acid solution for 10.0 min at a rate of \(10.0 \mathrm{~L} / \mathrm{min},\) the acid was titrated. The remaining acid needed \(13.1 \mathrm{~mL}\) of \(0.0588 \mathrm{M} \mathrm{NaOH}\) to reach the equivalence point. (a) How many grams of \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) were drawn into the acid solution? (b) How many ppm of \(\mathrm{NH}_{3}\) were in the air? (Air has a density of \(1.20 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{L}\) and an average molar mass of \(29.0 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol}\) under the conditions of the experiment.) \((\mathbf{c})\) Is this manufacturer in compliance with regulations?
