A chemist adds of a mercury(I) chloride solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the micromoles of mercury(I) chloride the chemist has added to the flask.

3.383x10⁻³ micromoles of HgCl

Explanation:

The chemist adds 170mL of a 1.99x10⁻⁵mmol/L Mercury (I) chloride, HgCl.

The solution contains 1.99x10⁻⁵milimoles of HgCl in 1L. That means in 170mL = 0.170L there are:

0.170L × (1.99x10⁻⁵milimoles HgCl / L) = 3.383x10⁻⁶ milimoles of HgCl.

Now, in 1milimole you have 1000 micromoles. That means in 3.383x10⁻⁶ milimoles of HgCl you have:

3.383x10⁻⁶ milimoles of HgCl ₓ (1000micromoles / 1milimole) =
