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!

What else is produced during the combustion of butane, C4H10?<br><br> 2C4H10 + 13O2 → <br> + 10H2O
Neko [114]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

8CO₂

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

  • Butane, C₄H₁₀
  • Butane is a hydrocarbon in the homologous series known as alkane.

We are required to determine the other product produced in the combustion of butane apart from water.

  • We know that the complete combustion of alkane yields carbon dioxide and water.
  • Therefore, combustion of butane will yield carbon dioxide and water.
  • The balanced equation for the complete combustion of butane will be;

       2C₄H₁₀ + 13O₂ →  8CO₂ + 10H₂O
