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!

Calculate the mass of water vapour present in a room of volume 400 m3 that contains air at 27 °C on a day when the relative humi
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Mass of water = 6251. 706g or 6.25Kg

Explanation:

Relative humidity = (actual vapor pressure/saturation vapor pressure) * 100%

Actual vapor pressure, Pw = relative humidity * saturation vapor pressure

Pw = 60% * (35.6 *0.001)atm = 0.0216atm

Note: 1mbar = 0.001atm

Using the ideal gas equation: PV=nRT; where P = Pw= 0.02136atm, V= (400

* 1000)dm^3, R= 0.082 atmdm^3/kmol, T= (27+273)K, n = number of moles

Note: 1m^3 = 1000dm^3,R is the molar gas constant.

Making n subject of the formula, n = PV/RT

n= (0.02136 * 400000)/(0.082 * 300) = 347.317 moles

Mass (g) = number of moles (n) * molar mass

molar mass of water=18g

Mass of water = 347.317 * 18 = 6251. 706g or 6.25Kg

melamori03 [73]

Answer: We do not know. We have not been given the solubility of oxygen in water at a given temperature nor have we been given the Henry's laws constant. We also do not know whether you mean 1 atmosphere of air, or 1 atmosphere of oxygen.
