If the daily allowance for Vitamin C is assumed to be 75.0 mg, how many liters (L) of a 0.002486 M solution of ascorbic acid would be required for a 15.0 day voyage across an ocean?

Volumen C6H8O6(sln) = 2.569 L ≅ 2.6 L

Explanation:

vitamin C ≡ ascorbic acid (C6H8O6)

∴ vitamin C/daily = 75.0 mg/d

∴ molar mass C6H8O6 = 176.12 g/mol

solution:

∴ C C6H8O6 = 0.002486 mol/L

⇒ ppm C6H8O6 = (0.002486 mol/L)*(176.12 g/mol)*(1000 mg/g)

⇒ ppm C6H8O6 = 437.834 mg/L

for a 15.0 day:

⇒ Volume C6H8O6(sln) = (75.0 mg/d)*(L/437.834 mg)*(15.0 d)

⇒ Volume C6H8O6(sln) = 2.569 L

a rain shadow is a dry region of land on the side that is protected against the prevailing winds of a mountain range. the prevailing winds are the winds that occur most of the time in a particular place of the earth

prevailing winds carry air toward the mountain range. as the air rises up over a mountain range, the air cools, water vapor condenses, and clouds form. on this side of the mountains, called the windward side, precipitation falls in the form of  rain  or snow. this dry air produces a  rain shadow.
