alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

6 x 10⁵ kg Hg

Explanation:

The mass of mercury in the entire lake is found by multiplying the concentration of the mercury by the volume of the lake.

The volume of the lake is calculated in cubic feet:

V = (SA)x(depth) = (100mi²)(5280ft/mi)² x (20ft) = 5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³

Cubic feet are then converted to mL (1cm³=1mL)

(5.57568 x 10¹⁰ ft³) x (12in/ft)³ x (2.54cm/in)³ = 1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL

The mass of mercury is then found:

m = CV = (0.4μg/mL)(1g/10⁶μg)(1kg/1000g) x (1.578856752 x 10¹⁵ mL) = 6 x 10⁵ kg Hg
