The Safe Drinking Water Act (SDWA) sets a limit for mercury-a toxin to the central nervous system-at 0.002 mg/L. Water suppliers

must periodically test their water to ensure that mercury levels do not exceed 0.002 mg/L. Suppose water becomes contaminated with mercury at twice the legal limit (0.004 mg/L). Part A How much of this water would have to be consumed to ingest 0.100 g of mercury?

Answer:

The volume of mercury-contaminated water that has to be consumed to ingest 0.100 g mercury is 2.50 × 10⁴ l

Explanation:

Hi there!

First, let´s convert 0.100 g to mg:

0.100 g · (1000 mg/1 g) = 100 mg

The contaminated water has 0.004 mg per liter, then, we have to find the volume of water that contains 100 mg of mercury:

100 mg · (1 l / 0.004 mg) = 2.50 × 10⁴ l

Then, the volume of mercury-contaminated water ( at a concentration of 0.004 mg/l) that has to be consumed to ingest 0.100 g mercury is 2.50 × 10⁴ l

Have a nice day!

1. This can be due to the dissolving of the solid in liquid and form a solution.

Dissolving is a physical property because dissolving doesn't form new substances and the chemical composition of the solid is not changed.

The color building up over the time can be due to the rate of dissolving of the solid and amount of particles have been dissolved.

Example:

  • Dissolving of CuSO₄ solid in water.
  • This develops a blue color.

2. This can be due to the chemical reaction between the solid and liquid.

Chemical reaction is a chemical property because from reacting substances new substances can be formed which the chemical formula is different from initial substances.

The color building up over the time can be due to the rate of the reaction and the amount of reactants.

Example:

  • The reaction between calcium metal with water.
  • The color of Ca(OH)₂ is white color.
  • Reaction is

       Ca(s) + 2H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq) + H₂(g)

How does energy from Earth’s interior affect surface changes?
quester [9]

Answer:

Energy produced deep inside Earth heats rock in the mantle. ... As it becomes less dense, the heated rock rises toward Earth's surface. The cooler, denser rock surrounding the heated rock sinks, as Figure 5 shows. In this way, heat inside Earth moves toward the cooler crust.

Kisachek [45]
<span>1.05 g/ml * 1000 ml = 1050g/l because of 1g/ml = 1 kg/l so, a/q mass of 4.7 l of whole blood in pound = 4.7 * 1050 = 4935 g so in pound 4935g = 10.87981p</span>

if the Celsius temperature of a gas at constant pressure is increased from 10 Celsius to 20 Celsius the volume is
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

               The volume is increased.

Explanation:

                     According to <em>Charles' Law</em>, " <em>at constant pressure the volume and temperature of the gas are directly proportional to each other</em>". Mathematically this law is presented as;

                                                    V₁ / T₁ = V₂ / T₂   -----(1)

In statement the data given is,

T₁  =  10 °C  =  283.15 K                    ∴  K  =  273.15 + °C

T₂  =  20 °C  =  293.15 K

So, it is clear that the temperature is being increased hence, we will find an increase in volume. Let us assume that the starting volume is 100 L, so,

V₁  =  100 L

V₂  =  Unknown

Now, we will arrange equation 1 for V₂ as,

                                                    V₂  =  V₁ × T₂ / T₁

Putting values,

                                     V₂  = 100 L × 293.15 K / 283.15 K

                                     V₂  = 103.52 L

Hence, it is proved that by increasing temperature from 10 °C to 20 °C resulted in the increase of Volume from 100 L to 103.52 L.
