In 1993 the Minnesota Department of Health set a health risk limit for boron in groundwater of 600. µg/L. Suppose an analytical chemist receives a sample of groundwater with a measured volume of 94.0 mL. Calculate the maximum mass in micrograms of boron which the chemist could measure in this sample and still certify that the groundwater from which it came met Minnesota Department of Health standards. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.
