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

If element x forms the oxides xo and x2o3 the oxidation numbers of element x are
Deffense [45]

Answer:

b) +2 and +3.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the molecular formulas:

XO

And:

X_2O_3

We can relate the subscripts with the oxidation states by knowing that they are crossed when the compound is formed, for that reason, we notice that oxygen oxidation state should be -2 for both cases and the oxidation state of X in the first formula must be +2 since both X and O has one as their subscript as they were simplified:

X^{+2}O^{-2}

Moreover, for the second case the oxidation state of X should be +3 in order to obtain 3 as the subscript of oxygen:

X_2^{+3}O_3^{-2}

Thus, answer is b)+2 and +3

Best regards.

Hydrofluoric acid and Water react to form fluoride anion and hydronium cation, like this HF(aq) + H_2O(l) rightarrow F(aq) + H_3
maksim [4K]

Answer:

Kc = 1.09x10⁻⁴

Explanation:

<em>HF = 1.62g</em>

<em>H₂O = 516g</em>

<em>F⁻ = 0.163g</em>

<em>H₃O⁺ = 0.110g</em>

<em />

To solve this question we need to find the moles of each reactant in order to solve the molar concentration of each reactan and replacing in the Kc expression. For the reaction, the Kc is:

Kc = [H₃O⁺] [F⁻] / [HF]

<em>Because Kc is defined as the ratio between concentrations of products over reactants powered to its reaction coefficient. Pure liquids as water are not taken into account in Kc expression:</em>

<em />

[H₃O⁺] = 0.110g * (1mol /19.01g) = 0.00579moles / 5.6L = 1.03x10⁻³M

[F⁻] = 0.163g * (1mol /19.0g) = 0.00858moles / 5.6L = 1.53x10⁻³M

[HF] = 1.62g * (1mol /20g) = 0.081moles / 5.6L = 0.0145M

Kc = [1.03x10⁻³M] [1.53x10⁻³M] / [0.0145M]

<h3>Kc = 1.09x10⁻⁴</h3>

Calculate the number of grams of oxygen gas in a 24L container at STP
romanna [79]

There are 34 g of oxygen in the container.

We can use the<em> Ideal Gas Law</em> to solve this problem.

pV = nRT

But n = \frac{m}{M}, so

pV = \frac{m}{M}RT and

m = \frac{pVM}{RT}\\

STP is 0 °C and 1 bar, so

m = \frac{\text{1 bar} \times \text{24 L} \times 32.00 \text{ g}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}}{\text{0.083 14 } \text{bar}\cdot\text{L}\cdot\text{K}^{-1}\text{mol}^{-1}\times\text{273.15 K} } = \textbf{34 g}\\
