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

At 1 atm, how much energy is required to heat 75.0 g H 2 O ( s ) at − 20.0 ∘ C to H 2 O ( g ) at 119.0 ∘ C?
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

238,485 Joules

Explanation:

The amount of energy required is a summation of heat of fusion, capacity and vaporization.

Q = mLf + mC∆T + mLv = m(Lf + C∆T + Lv)

m (mass of water) = 75 g

Lf (specific latent heat of fusion of water) = 336 J/g

C (specific heat capacity of water) = 4.2 J/g°C

∆T = T2 - T1 = 119 - (-20) = 119+20 = 139°C

Lv (specific latent heat of vaporization of water) = 2,260 J/g

Q = 75(336 + 4.2×139 + 2260) = 75(336 + 583.8 + 2260) = 75(3179.8) = 238,485 J

The melting points of alkaline earth metals are many times higher than those of the alkali metals. Explain this difference on th
7nadin3 [17]

The correct answer is higher melting point, bound by metal metal bonds.

While alkali metals only have one valence electron, alkaline earth metals have two. Metal to metal connections hold the metals together. Alkaline earth metals have a stronger metallic connection and a higher melting point because they have two valence electrons.

the characteristics that Group 2 metals excel in over Group 1 metals.

  • Initial Ionization Potential
  • Group 2 items are more difficult than group 1 elements.
  • Strong propensity to produce bivalent compounds

As a result, group 2 metals have stronger metallic bonding, which leads to increased cohesive energy and compact atom packing. This explains why group 2 metals are harder and have higher melting and boiling temperatures than group 1 metals.
