Question

Chlorine is used to disinfect swimming pools. The recommended 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 (gal) of water in the pool (1 gal = 3.79 L; assume the density of both the water and the chlorine solution to be = 1.0 g/mL).

Solution

Step 1 of 4)

The first step in solving 1 problem number 100 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Chlorine is used to disinfect swimming pools. The recommended 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 (gal) of water in the pool (1 gal = 3.79 L; assume the density of both the water and the chlorine solution to be = 1.0 g/mL).
From the textbook chapter Chemistry: The Science of Change you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
