Answer:

5 ppb of Cd

Explanation:

Given , Concentration = 0.0050 mg/L

To find this concentration in parts per billion

As,

1 mg per liter = 1 ppm

Parts per billion is defined as the number of the units of the mass of contaminant per thousand million units of the total mass. The relation between ppm and ppb is shown below as:

1 ppm = 1000 ppb

Concluding as:

1 mg per liter = 1000 ppb

So,

0.0050 mg/L = 1000 × 0.0050 ppb = 5 ppb of Cd

149.3 g of H2O at 95 ◦C is poured over 412 g Fe at 5 ◦C in an insulated vessel. What is the final temperature? The specific heat
abruzzese [7]
You are correct, but you needn't worry about the signs so much. Just remember that the negative sign is used to denote a loss of energy; since the water is hotter, it will be losing energy (-Q) and the iron will gain energy (Q). Now, we substitute the values:
-149.3 * 4.184 * (T - 95) = 412 * 0.44 * (T - 5)
Solving this equation for T,
T = 74.8 °C

What best explains why the box’s final kinetic energy is less than its initial potential energy
ziro4ka [17]
Some potential energy was converted into thermal energy due to friction. The acceleration due to gravity became smaller as the box slid down the ramp.
