Correct answer: 148

  1. Interpret the molarity

The solution is 2.6×10−3 M2.6\times 10^{-3}\,\mathrm{M}2.6×10−3M in CH2Cl2\mathrm{CH_2Cl_2}CH2​Cl2​, i.e.

2.6×10−3 mol of DCM per litre of solution2.6\times 10^{-3}\ \text{mol of DCM per litre of solution}2.6×10−3 mol of DCM per litre of solution

Since the solvent volume given is 671.141 mL671.141\,\mathrm{mL}671.141mL and the solute amount is very small, we take solution volume as approximately

V=671.141 mL=0.671141 LV = 671.141\,\mathrm{mL} = 0.671141\,\mathrm{L}V=671.141mL=0.671141L

So moles of CH2Cl2\mathrm{CH_2Cl_2}CH2​Cl2​ are

n=M×V=2.6×10−3×0.671141n = M\times V = 2.6\times 10^{-3}\times 0.671141n=M×V=2.6×10−3×0.671141

n=1.7449666×10−3 moln = 1.7449666\times 10^{-3}\,\mathrm{mol}n=1.7449666×10−3mol


  1. Find mass of CH2Cl2\mathrm{CH_2Cl_2}CH2​Cl2​

Molar mass of CH2Cl2\mathrm{CH_2Cl_2}CH2​Cl2​:

12+2(1)+2(35.5)=85 g mol−112 + 2(1) + 2(35.5) = 85\,\mathrm{g\,mol^{-1}}12+2(1)+2(35.5)=85gmol−1

Hence,

mDCM=n×85=1.7449666×10−3×85m_{\mathrm{DCM}} = n\times 85 = 1.7449666\times 10^{-3}\times 85mDCM​=n×85=1.7449666×10−3×85

mDCM=0.148322161 gm_{\mathrm{DCM}} = 0.148322161\,\mathrm{g}mDCM​=0.148322161g


  1. Find mass of chloroform solvent

Given density of CHCl3\mathrm{CHCl_3}CHCl3​:

ρ=1.49 g cm−3\rho = 1.49\,\mathrm{g\,cm^{-3}}ρ=1.49gcm−3

Since 671.141 mL=671.141 cm3671.141\,\mathrm{mL} = 671.141\,\mathrm{cm^3}671.141mL=671.141cm3,

mCHCl3=ρV=1.49×671.141m_{\mathrm{CHCl_3}} = \rho V = 1.49\times 671.141mCHCl3​​=ρV=1.49×671.141

mCHCl3=1000.00009 g≈1000 gm_{\mathrm{CHCl_3}} = 1000.00009\,\mathrm{g} \approx 1000\,\mathrm{g}mCHCl3​​=1000.00009g≈1000g


  1. Calculate ppm by mass

For ppm by mass,

ppm=mass of solutemass of solution×106\text{ppm} = \frac{\text{mass of solute}}{\text{mass of solution}}\times 10^6ppm=mass of solutionmass of solute​×106

Here,

msolution=1000.00009+0.148322161≈1000.1484 gm_{\text{solution}} = 1000.00009 + 0.148322161 \approx 1000.1484\,\mathrm{g}msolution​=1000.00009+0.148322161≈1000.1484g

Thus,

ppm=0.1483221611000.1484×106\text{ppm} = \frac{0.148322161}{1000.1484}\times 10^6ppm=1000.14840.148322161​×106

ppm≈148.3\text{ppm} \approx 148.3ppm≈148.3

So the required integer is

148\boxed{148}148​


  1. Comparison with stored answer

Stored correct answer = 148148148.

This matches our derived answer.
