It's been many, many moon since I took gen Chem, so not even sure this is the right forum to ask the question. What I thought was hard was relatively easy, and vice versa. I want to determine the amt of a compound to produce x ppm of a component/element in that compound (ex: g of carbonates in sodium bicarbonate) to obtain 5 ppm in water) of various compounds (all in water)
, then convert that to common kitchen measures (teaspoon, etc)
.
Once I remembered the per. table getting g was pretty easy. I remember specific gravity and density vaguely
, but for the life of me can't seem to make it work. (ex: sg of sodium bicarbonate is 2.159)
I need 2.649 g of NaHCO3 to get 5 mg/l (ppm) by using a gram scale I know that 1 tsp = ~5.0 g; but, how would I determine this without using the scale.
Geese I hope I asked that correctly!
