According to an informal 1992 survey, the drinking water in about one-third of the homes in Chicago had lead levels of about 10

ppb. Dr. Koether lived in Chicago from 1996 to 1998. Assuming she drank 1.4 L of water a day, calculate the total amount of lead in mg (using one decimal place) that she was exposed to over the two years if she lived in a home that had such high levels of lead.

Answer:

10.2 mg

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the total amount of water she drank

1 year has 365 days and she lived in Chicago for 2 years = 2 × 365 days = 730 days.

If she drank 1.4 L of water per day, the total amount of water she drank is:

730 day × 1.4 L/day = 1022 L

Step 2: Calculate the amount of Pb in 1022 L of water

The concentration of Pb is 10 ppb (10 μg/L).

1022 L × 10 μg/L = 10220 μg

Step 3: Convert 10220 μg to milligrams

We will use the conversion factor 1 mg = 1000 μg.

10220 μg × 1 mg/1000 μg = 10.2 mg

Write the balanced COMPLETE ionic equation for the reaction when
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Ba²⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) + 2 Rb⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq) = Ba(OH)₂(s) + 2 Rb⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Let's consider the molecular equation between barium nitrate and rubidium hydroxide to produce barium hydroxide and rubidium nitrate.

Ba(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2 RbOH(aq) = Ba(OH)₂(s) + 2 RbNO₃(aq)

The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and the molecular species.

Ba²⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) + 2 Rb⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq) = Ba(OH)₂(s) + 2 Rb⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)

Why is helium found in deposits of uranium and thorium vores? What kind of radioactive emission produces it?
Drupady [299]

Two protons and two neutrons are emitted and trapped as materials like uranium and thorium deep underground decay into radium and thorium, respectively. These alpha-particles transform into stable helium atoms as they take on electrons from their surroundings.

<h3>What elements go through alpha decay?</h3>

Alpha decay usually occurs in heavy nuclei such as uranium or plutonium, and therefore is a major part of the radioactive fallout from a nuclear explosion.

<h3>Where does alpha decay occur?</h3>

Alpha decay occurs most often in massive nuclei that have too large a proton to neutron ratio. An alpha particle, with its two protons and two neutrons, is a very stable configuration of particles.

If you produced 76.10 grams of potassium chloride in the reaction how many grams of potassium were required?
11111nata11111 [884]

Answer:39.8375

Explanation:

The mole for the equation is 1:1

Then the molar mass of KCl is 74.5g

Molar mass of k is 39

74.5g of KCl gives 39g of k

76.10g of KCl gives xg of k

X= 76.10×39/74.5

X= 2967.9/7

X= 39.8375

This stadium can hold 100,000, or 1 x 10^5, people. The number of atoms in a grain of iron is about 1 x 10^18. Would you need 1 
polet [3.4K]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

1 x 10^13 stadiums

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

From the question;

1 x 10^5 people can fill 1 stadium

We are given,  1 x 10^18 atoms of iron

We are required to determine the number of stadiums that  1 x 10^18 atoms of iron would occupy.

We are going to assume that a stadium would occupy a number of atoms equivalent to the number of people.

Therefore;

One stadium =  1 x 10^5 atoms

Then, to find the number of stadiums that will be occupied by  1 x 10^18 atoms;

No. of stadiums = Total number of atoms ÷ Atoms in a single stadium

                           =  1 x 10^18 atoms ÷  1 x 10^5 atoms

                          =  1 x 10^13 stadiums

Therefore,  1 x 10^18 atoms of iron would occupy  1 x 10^13 stadiums
