Answer:

  • <em>The maximum amount of copper allowed in 100 g of water is </em><u><em>0.00013 g</em></u>

Explanation:

To find the maximum amount of copper (in grams) allowed in 100 g of water use the maximum amount ratio (1.3 mg / kg)  and set a proportion with the unknown amount of copper (x) and the amount of water (100 g):

First, convert 100 g of water to kg: 100 g × 1 kg / 1000 g = 0.1 kg.

Now, set the proportion:

  • 1.3 mg Cu / 1 Kg H₂O = x / 0.1 kg H₂O

Solve for x:

  • x = 0.1 kg H₂O × 1.3 mg Cu / 1 kg H₂O = 0.13 mg Cu

Convert mg to grams:

  • 0.13 mg × 1 g / 1,000 mg = 0.00013 g

Answer: 0.00013 g of copper.

The physical world around us behaves as it does partly because it’s made of a huge number of tiny molecules, each behaving rando
eduard
1. Weird things like the one described above do not happen on a ramdom basis becuause molecules usually move within any enclosure in a ramdom manner. Thus, it is not possible for some types of particles to aggregate in one point while other types of molecule aggreagate in another point. Based on the kinetic energy that is available for each particle, each particle will move random
through the available space, colliding with one another and with the wall of container.

2. It will be a difficult thing to live in a Maxwell' demon world because, things will happen unpredictably and one will never know what to expect next because anything can happen at anytime. For instance, if one is drinking a glass of water, some of the particles of the water may just decide to aggregate to one part of the cup and start boiling. So, for someone who is taking a glass of water, the water may start boiling right inside his mouth when he is drinking, that will be a bad experience. When one is driving a car, the petrol particles may just decide to freeze up when one is busy speeding on the highway; that can cause a very serious accident. Thus, a world where the Maxwell law operates will be a chaotic world.
