<u>Answer:</u> The given sample of water is not safe for drinking.

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

Concentration of fluorine in water recommended = 4.00 ppm

ppm is the amount of solute (in milligrams) present in kilogram of a solvent. It is also known as parts-per million.

To calculate the ppm of fluorine in water, we use the equation:

\text{ppm}=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}}{\text{Mass of solution}}\times 10^6

Both the masses are in grams.

We are given:

Mass of fluorine = 0.152mg=0.152\times 10^{-3}g    (Conversion factor:  1 g = 1000 mg)

Mass of water = 5.00 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{ppm of fluorine in water}=\frac{0.152\times 10^{-3}}{5}\times 10^6\\\\\text{ppm of fluorine in water}=30.4

As, the calculated concentration is greater than the recommended concentration. So, the given sample of water is not safe for drinking.

Hence, the given sample of water is not safe for drinking.

sergejj [24]

Ok so First of all we start with the fire. The fire gives off radiation because you can feel the heat through space. The fire also gives of conduction because you put the hotdog on the fire to cook it, and the hotdog will give off steam when it is hot causing it to give of Convection.

There is how cooking a hotdog over a fire uses all three heat transfer
