Answer:
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) =
3.383x10⁻³ micromoles of HgCl
