The maximum contaminant level of copper (Cu) in drinking water as set by the the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is 0.0013
2 answers:
Given that the maximum contaminant level of copper in potable water according to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is 0.0013g/L
That means 0.0013 g of Copper can be present in 1 L water.
ppm(parts per million) is equivalent to the concentration of mg/L
1 ppm = 1 mg/L
We can convert 0.0013 g/L to mg/L in order to get the concentration in ppm.
Converting 0.0013 g/L to mg/L:
1.3 mg/L = 1.3 ppm
Therefore, 0.0013g/L can be expressed as 1.3 ppm

Answer: protons and neutrons.
The nucleus is made up of 3 subatomic particles that are protons,neutrons and electrons.
General notation of an element is
where, X is the Element, A is the Atomic Mass and Z is the Atomic Number
If we know the number of protons we can easily find out the atomic number of any element because Atomic Number = Number of protons in an element.
And in addition if we know the number of neutrons we can easily find out the atomic mass of an element because
Atomic Mass = (Number of protons) + (Number of neutrons)
If we get to know the atomic number and atomic mass, we can easily tell what element is it by looking from the periodic table.
