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!

Mixtures of hydrogen and oxygen in varying concentrations can be sparked to produce water. Define mixture and compound, and then
LenKa [72]

Explanation:

Mixture is the physical Combination Of two or Substance

Example

a mixture of sugar and water.

Compound is the chemical combination of two or more metals.

Example.

a mixture of hydrogen and water.

A mixture of hydrogen and oxygen forms water or H2O

whereas The dihydrogen monoxide parody involves calling water by an unfamiliar chemical name, most often "dihydrogen monoxide" (DHMO), and listing some of water's properties in a particularly alarming manner, such as accelerating corrosion (rust) and causing suffocation (drowning). The parody often calls for dihydrogen monoxide to be banned, regulated, or labeled as dangerous. It plays into chemophobia and demonstrates how a lack of scientific literacy and an exaggerated analysis can lead to misplaced fears. The parody has been used with other chemical names such as hydrogen hydroxide, dihydrogen oxide, hydroxic acid, hydric acid and oxidane.

Anna007 [38]

Answer:add acid

Explanation:

Methyl orange is red in acid and yellow in base. When added to distilled water and the colour turns yellow, it means it is in its anion form. The equilibrium can be shifted towards the acid form (HMO) by adding acid. The acid will protonate the indicator shifting the position of equilibrium towards the acid side and the solution turns red.
