Chapter 1, Problem 90P(choose chapter or problem)
Chlorine is used to disinfect swimming pools. The accepted concentration for this purpose is 1 ppm chlorine, or 1 g of chlorine per million grams of water. Calculate the volume of a chlorine solution (in milliliters) a homeowner should add to her swimming pool if the solution contains 6.0 percent chlorine by mass and there are \(2.0 \times 10^{4}\) gallons of water in the pool. (1 gallon = 3.79 L; density of liquids = 1.0 g/mL.)

QUESTION:
Chlorine is used to disinfect swimming pools. The accepted concentration for this purpose is 1 ppm chlorine, or 1 g of chlorine per million grams of water. Calculate the volume of a chlorine solution (in milliliters) a homeowner should add to her swimming pool if the solution contains 6.0 percent chlorine by mass and there are \(2.0 \times 10^{4}\) gallons of water in the pool. (1 gallon = 3.79 L; density of liquids = 1.0 g/mL.)
ANSWER:Step 1 of 4
Here, we are asked to calculate the volume of a chlorine solution (in milliliters) in the given scenario.
Given:
Here, the concentration of chlorine is 1 ppm/1 g of chlorine per million grams of water
Mass of chlorine = 6.0 %
The volume of water \(=2.0\times10^4\text{ gallons }\)
1 gallon = 3.79 L
The density of liquids = 1.0 g/mL
The volume of a solution(in ml) = ?
