3. You have analyzed a "Superfund" site for trichloroethylene (TCE: the most common organic groundwater contaminant: MW = 131.4) and chromate (CrO4²²: MW = 116) measured respective concentrations of 1.7 x 10-7 moles/L and 8.6 × 10-7 N (equivalents/L). What are their concentrations in parts per billion (ppb)? Do they exceed the Clean Water Act maximum concentration levels of 5 ppb and 100ppb respectively?

Insulin is a hormone responsible for the regulation of glucose levels in the blood. An aqueous solution of insulin has an osmotic pressure of 2.5 mm Hg at 25C. It is prepared by dissolving 0.100 g of insulin in enough water to make 125 mL of solution. What is the molar mass of insulin?
According to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), waste material is classified as toxic and must be handled as hazardous if the lead concentration exceeds 5 mg/L. By adding chloride ion, the lead ion will precipitate as PbCl2, which can be separated from the liquid portion.
