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!

Answer:

1384 kJ/mol

Explanation:

The heat absorbed by the calorimeter is equal to the heat released due to the combustion of the organic compound. C is the total heat capacity of the calorimeter and Δt is the change in temperature from intial to final:

Q = CΔt = (3576 J°C⁻¹)(30.589°C - 25.000°C) = 19986.264 J

Extra significant figures are kept to avoid round-off errors.

We then calculate the moles of the organic compound:

(0.6654 g)(mol/46.07) = 0.0144432 mol

We then calculate the heat released per mole and convert to the proper units. (The conversion between kJ and J is infinitely precise and is not involved in the consideration of significant figures)

(19986.264 J)(1kJ/1000J) / (0.0144432 mol) = 1384 kJ/mol

When a 2.5 mol of sugar (C12H22O11) are added to a certain amount of water the boiling point is raised by 1 Celsius degree. If 2
Mademuasel [1]

Answer is: boiling point will be changed by 4°C.

Chemical dissociation of aluminium nitrate in water: Al(NO₃)₃ → Al³⁺(aq) + 3NO⁻(aq).

Change in boiling point: ΔT =i · Kb · b.

Kb - molal boiling point elevation constant of water is 0.512°C/m, this the same for both solution.

b -  molality, moles of solute per kilogram of solvent., this is also same for both solution, because ther is same amount of substance.

i - Van't Hoff factor.

Van't Hoff factor for sugar solution is 1, because sugar do not dissociate on ions.

Van't Hoff factor for aluminium nitrate solution is approximately 4, because it dissociates on four ions (one aluminium cation and three nitrate anions). So ΔT is four times bigger.

Rolls of foil are 300mm wide and 2.020mm thick. (The density of foil is 2.7 g/cm^3). What maximum length of foil can be made fro
horrorfan [7]

Answer:  8556 mm, or 855.6 cm (8560 mm to 3 sig figs)

Explanation:  Convert mm to cm by dividing by 10 (1cm/10mm)

Find the area of the foil face in cm^2 (30cm*0.2020cm) = 0.606 cm^2

Calculate the volume occupied by 1.40 kg of foil in cm^3.  1.40kg = 1400g

1.400g/(2.7 g/cm^3) = 518.5 cm^3 for 1.40 kg Au

   Volume = Area (of the face) * Length  

We want Length:

Length = Volume/Area

L = (518.5 cm^3/0.606 cm^2)

L = 855.6 cm (8556 mm)  Round to 3 sig figs (856 cm and 8560 mm)
