The pesticide DDT is used to kill malaria-carrying mosquitoes. Unfortunately, it also affects other wildlife. In 1972 the use of DDT was banned in the US. Samples were collected from an orchard with the following average result: 0.030 mg of DDT was in a 250.0 mL sample of water. Express the concentration of DDT in the water as ppm. (the density of the solution is 1.00 g/mL) A ppm.

Insulin is a hormone responsible for the regulation of glucose levels in the blood. An aqueous solution of insulin has an osmotic pressure of 2.5 mm Hg at 25C. It is prepared by dissolving 0.100 g of insulin in enough water to make 125 mL of solution. What is the molar mass of insulin?
A patient has a “cholesterol count” of 214. Like manyblood-chemistry measurements,this result is measured inunits of milligrams per deciliter (mgdL1). Determine the molar concentration of cholesterol inthis patient’s blood, taking the molar mass of cholesterolto be 386.64gmol1. Estimate the molality of cholesterol in the patient’sblood. If 214 is a typical cholesterol reading among men inthe United States, determine the volume of such bloodrequired to furnish 8.10 g of cholesterol.
Dimethylglyoxime [DMG, (CH3CNOH)2] is used as a reagent to precipitate nickel ion. Assume that 53.0 g of DMC has been dissolved in 525 g of ethanol (C2H5OH). s The red, insoluble compound formed between nickel(II)ion and dimethylglyoxime (DMG) is precipitated when DMG is added to a bask solution of Ni2+ (aq). (a) What is the mole fraction of DMG? (b) What is the molality of the solution? (c) What is the vapor pressure of the ethanol over the solution at ethanols normal boiling point of 78.4 C? (d) What is the boiling point of the solution? (DMG does not produce ions in solution.) (Kbp for ethanol = +1.22 C/m)

Solutions of hydrogen in palladium may be formed by exposing Pd metal to H2 gas. The concentration of hydrogen in the palladium depends on the pressure of H2 gas applied, but in a more complex fashion than can be described by Henry's law. Under certain conditions, 0.94 g of hydrogen gas is dissolved in 215 g of palladium metal (solution density = 10.8 g cm3). (a) Determine the molarity of this solution. (b) Determine the molality of this solution. (c) Determine the percent by mass of hydrogen atoms in this solution.
