If drinking water contains 1 ppm of fluoride, what is the molarity of F- in the water? How many grams of
NaF would be required for a day’s worth of water for a household? Assume the volume of the solution is 400 gallons. (1 gal = 3.785 L)

Solution
concentration of F- = 1 ppm
= 1 mg / L
= 1.0 x 10^-3 g / L
= 1.0 x 10^-3 / 19
= 5.26 x 10^-5 M
Molarity of F- = 5.3 x 10^-5 M
volume of solution = 400 gal
= 400 x 3.785 L
= 1514 L
1 L ---------------> 5.26 x 10^-5 mol
1514 L ---------------> ??
moles of NaF = 0.0796
mass of NaF required = 3.34 g
