The maximum allowable concentration of pb2+ ions in drinking water is 0.05 ppm (i.e., 0.05 g of pb2+ in 1 million grams of water

). (a) what is the pb2+ concentration of an underground water supply at equilibrium with the mineral anglesite (pbso4) (ksp = 1.6 × 10−8) ?

PbSO₄ partially dissociates in water. the balanced equation is;
                    
                       PbSO₄(s) ⇄  Pb²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)
Initial                                     -                -
Change             -X               +X           +X
Equilibrium                           X              X

Ksp           =    [Pb²⁺(aq)] [SO₄²⁻(aq)]
1.6 x 10⁻⁸  =    X * X
1.6 x 10⁻⁸  =    X²
          X    =   1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M
      
Hence the Pb²⁺ concentration in underground water is 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M. 
[Pb²⁺]  = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ M.
           = 1.3 x 10⁻⁴ mol / L x 207 g / mol 
           = 26.91 ppm

2. What is the difference between an organ and an organ system
aleksandrvk [35]
The difference between an organ and a tissue is that basically tissues are a group of similar cells that works together. Then a group of tissue that works together would make up an organ. Groups of organ working together later makes up an organ system. This is the main difference between an organ and a tissue.

Choose the solvent below that would show the greatest boiling point elevation when used to make a 0.10 m nonelectrolyte solution
postnew [5]

Answer is: 1) ccl4, kb = 29.9°c/m, carbon tetrachloride has the greatest boiling point elevation.

The boiling point elevation is directly proportional to the molality of the solution according to the equation: ΔTb = Kb · b.

<span> ΔTb -  the boiling point elevation.
Kb - the ebullioscopic constant.
b - molality of the solution.
So the highest boiling poing elevation will be for solution with highest ebullioscopic constant because molality is the same.</span>

The radius of a xenon atom is 1.3×10−8cm. a 100-ml flask is filled with xe at a pressure of 1.2 atm and a temperature of 281 k .
vladimir2022 [97]
Radius of Xenon = 1.3Ă—10â’8 cm 
Volume = 100 ml = 0.1 L 
Pressure P = 1.2 atm = 121.59 Kpa 
Temperature = 281 K 
R = Gas Constant = 8.31 J mol^-1 K^-1 
Now find the number of atoms 
PV = nRT => n = PV / RT 
n = (121.59 x 0.1) / (8.31 x 281) = / 2335.11 = 0.0052 
Number of atoms in a mole is same as Avogadro constant A, which is 6.02 x
10^23 particles.  
n = number of atoms= 0.0052 
N = number of particles 
 Avogadro constant A = 6.02 x 10^23 
n = N/A => N = n x A = 0.0052 x 6.02 x 106^23 = 3.13 x 10^20 
Volume of Xe atom which would be a sphere = (4/3) x pi x r^3 
Volume = = (4/3) x 3.14 x (1.3Ă—10â’8)^3 = 9.2 x 10^-24 
Volume occupied by these particles = n x Volume = 3.13 x 10^20 x 9.2 x
10^-24 = 0.00288
 Fraction of volume will be = 0.00288 / 0.1 = 0.0288
