Fluoridation of city water supplies has been practiced in the United States for several decades. It is done by continuously adding sodium fluoride to water as it comes from a reservoir. Assume you live in a medium-sized city of 150,000 people and that 660 L (170 gal) of water is used per person per day. What mass of sodium fluoride (in kilograms) must be added to the water supply each year (365 days) to have the required fluoride concentration of 1 ppm (part per million)that is, 1 kilogram of fluoride per 1 million kilograms of water? (Sodium fluoride is 45.0% fluoride, and water has a density of 1.00 g/cm3.)

Silver ions can be found in some of the city water piped into homes. The average concentration of silver ions in city water is 0.028 ppm. (a) How many milligrams of silver ions would you ingest daily if you drank eight glasses (eight oz/glass) of city water daily? (b) How many liters of city water are required to recover 1.00 g of silver chemically?
The solubility of lead nitrate at 100C is 140.0 g/100 g water. A solution at 100C consists of 57.0 g of lead nitrate in 64.0 g of water. When the solution is cooled 10C to 25.0 g of lead nitrate crystallize out. What is the solubility of lead nitrate in g/100 g water at 10C?
