Question

The concentration of lead ions, Pb+2 in municipal drinking water should not exceed 5.60 ppm

What is the maximum mass of lead ions that can be dissolved in 750 g of water, while not exceeding this limit 

a. 4.2 mg

b. 1.5 mg

c. 5.6 mg

d. 2.1 mg

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given,

Note: 1 ppm = 1 mg/kg

The concentration of lead ion, Pb2+ = 5.60 ppm = 5.60 mg/kg

Note: 1000 g = 1 kg

assuming no change in the mass

mass of the solution = mass of water = 750 g = 0.750 kg
