Lee has measured the concentrations of a chemical to be 0.0001 ng/L in the water of a river. Assuming this chemical has a bioaccumulation factor (also known as the fish-water partition coefficient) of 10,000 L/kg, evaluate its concentration in fish that live in this river (in a unit of ng/kg)

If a student combines specific amount CaCl2. 9H2O and Na2CO3 and obtained a solid precipitate. The student dissolve 1.37 gram of CaCl2. 9H2O in 25.0 mL of water and 0.984 g of Na2CO3 in 25.0 mL of water. The student is then combining the two solutions and observed the formation of a solid precipitate. The student filter the solution and recovered the precipitate. The following data were obtained for the experiment. Initial Mass of CaCl2. 9H2O 1.37 g Initial Mass of Na2CO3 0.984 g % yield of this experiment 87.4% 1.
