To aid in the prevention of tooth decay, it is recommended that drinking water contains 0.900 ppm fluoride (F-). A) How many g of F- must be added to a cylindrical water reservoir having a diameter of 3.36x10^2 m and a depth of 21.80 m? B) How many grams of sodium fluoride, NaF, contain this much fluoride?

Answer:

a) 1.740 g of F- must be added to a cylindrical water reservoir

b) Grams of sodium fluoride, NaF, that contain this much fluoride:

3.84 g

Explanation:

Step 1. calculate the volume of the tank:

Volume of cylinder =

[tex]\pi  r^{2}h[/tex] ,

Here r = radius of the cylinder = d/2

h = depth = 21.80m

[tex]r=\frac{d}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{3.36x10^{2}}{2}[/tex]

= 168 m

Volume =

[tex]=\frac{22\times 168^{2}\times 21.80}{7}[/tex]

[tex]=1.93\times 10^{6} m^{3}[/tex]

2.Convert ppm to g/m3 and Solve for mass of F-

[tex]1ppm = 1g/m^{3}[/tex]

[tex]0.9ppm = 0.9g/m^{3}[/tex]

Because both ppm and g/m3 are same quantity .

[tex]g/m^{3} =\frac{mass\ of\ F-(g)}{Volume\ m^{3}}\times 10^{6}[/tex]

[tex]0.9 =\frac{mass\ of\ F-}{1.93\times 10^{6} m^{3}}\times 10^{6}[/tex]

[tex]mass\ of\ F- =1.740g[/tex]

mass of F- required = 1.740 g

3. Apply mole concept to calculate grams of sodium fluoride produced

mass of 1 mole of F2 = 38 g

mass of 1 mole of NaF = 42 g

(from periodic table calculate molar mass)

[tex]2Na+F_{2}\rightarrow 2NaF[/tex]

Here 1 mole of F2 produce = 2 mole of NaF

So,

38 g  of F2 produce = 2 x 42 g of NaF

38 g of F2 produce = 84 g of NaF

1 g of F2 produce = 84/38 g of NaF

1.74 g F2 produce =

[tex]\frac {84}{38}\times 1.74[/tex]

1.74 g F2 produce = 3.84 g of NaF

3.84 g of NaF is produced
