The FDA recommends that women who are pregnant avoid eating more than three 6.00-oz servings of bluefish per month because of th

e relatively high mercury levels in that type of fish. If bluefish contains 0.302 ppm of mercury (that is, 0.302 oz of mercury per 1 x 10 oz of fish) how many ounces of mercury would a pregnant woman consume in a month if she ate the maximum recommended amount of bluefish?

Answer:

If a pregnant woman eats the maximum recommended amount of bluefish in a month she will consume 5,436x10⁻⁶ oz of mercury

Explanation:

It is not recommended for a woman who is pregnant the contact with high levels of mercury because this compound can damage many parts of her body as lungs, kidneys and nervous system.

Three 6,00 oz of bluefish per month are:

3×6,00 oz = 18,00 oz of bluefish

As the mercury contains of bluefish is 0,302 oz of mercury per 1x10⁶ oz of fish:

18,00oz fish\frac{0,302 oz}{1x10^{6} oz fish} =

<em>5,436x10⁻⁶ oz of mercury</em>

<em></em>

I hope it helps!

Answer:

A pregnant woman would consume  1.812 x 10⁻⁶ oz of mercury in a month if she ate the maximum recommended amount of fish.

Explanation:

0.302 oz mercury _____________ 1 x 10⁶ oz bluefish

              x              _____________  6.00 oz bluefish

x = 1.812 x 10⁻⁶ oz mercury

A pregnant woman would consume  1.812 x 10⁻⁶ oz of mercury in a month if she ate the maximum recommended amount of fish.

nalin [4]

There is not enough information to determine anything about the relative abundances of the two isotopes.

<h3>What are isotopes?</h3>

Isotopes are atoms that have the same atomic number but different mass numbers. We know that all the isotopes of an element are not available to the same extent in nature.

Hence, from the average atomic mass of carbon, we can see that there is not enough information to determine anything about the relative abundances of the two isotopes.

Question 15 How many grams of NaCl are required to make 500.0 mL of a 1.500 M solution? 58.40 g 175.3 g 14.60 g 43.83 g
ExtremeBDS [4]
Hi!

To make 500 mL of a 1,500 M solution of NaCl you'll require 43,83 g

To calculate that, you will need to use a conversion factor to go from the volume of the 1,500 M solution to the required grams. For this conversion factor, you'll use the definition for Molar concentration (M=mol/L) and the molar mass of NaCl. The conversion factor is shown below:

gNaCl=500mLsol* \frac{1L}{1000 mL}* \frac{1,500 mol NaCl}{1Lsol}* \frac{58,4428 g NaCl}{1 mol NaCl} \\ =43,83gNaCl

Have a nice day!
