Chapter 11, Problem 59QP
The chemical trichloroethylene (TCE) is a colorless liquid found in very low concentration in drinking water. The EPA has set a maximum concentration of TCE in drinking water at 5 ppb. Consuming water on a regular basis that contains higher concentration can lead to cancer.
(a) What is the ppb concentration in a 200.0-L (200.0-kg) sample of water that contains 0.43 mg TCE?
(b) Is this water safe to drink?

- 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.)arrow_forwardSilver 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?arrow_forwardCalcium carbonate, CaCO3, can be obtained in a very pure state.

- What kinds of solute particles are present in a solution of an ionic compound? Of a molecular compound?arrow_forwardLead poisoning has been a hazard for centuries. Some scholars believe that the decline of the Roman Empire can be traced, in part, to high levels of lead in water from containers and pipes, and from wine that was stored in leadglazed containers.

The added solute rapidly dissolves. b. The added solute falls to the bottom of the container where it remains without any decrease in size. c. The added solute falls to the bottom of the container where it decreases in size for several hours and thereafter its size remains constant. d.
