Suppose a group of volunteers is planning to build a park near a local lake. The lake is known to contain low levels of arsenic (As). Therefore, prior to starting construction, the group decides to measure the current level of arsenic in the lake. A) If a 15.7 cm3 sample of lake water is found to have 164.5 ng As, what is the concentration of arsenic in the sample in parts per billion (ppb), assuming that the density of the lake water is 1.00 g/cm3?
B) Calculate the total mass (in kg) of arsenic in the lake that the company will have to remove if the total volume of water in the lake is 0.710 km3?
C) Based on the company\'s claim and the concentration of arsenic in the lake, how many years will it take to remove all of the arsenic from the lake, assuming that there are always 365 days in a year?

A) 10.75 is the concentration of arsenic in the sample in parts per billion .

B) 7,633.66 kg the total mass of arsenic in the lake that the company have to remove.

C) It will take 1.37 years to remove all of the arsenic from the lake.

Explanation:

A) Mass of arsenic in lake water sample = 164.5 ng

The ppb is the amount of solute (in micrograms) present in kilogram of a solvent. It is also known as parts-per million.

To calculate the ppm of oxygen in sea water, we use the equation:

Both the masses are in grams.

We are given:

Mass of arsenic = 164.5 ng =

Volume of the sample = V =

Density of the lake water sample ,d=

Mass of sample =  M =

10.75 is the concentration of arsenic in the sample in parts per billion.

B)

Mass of arsenic in  of lake water =

Mass of arsenic in lake water be m.

Mass of arsenic in lake water :

1 g = 0.001 kg

7,633,660.130 g = 7,633,660.130 × 0.001 kg=7,633.660130 kg ≈ 7,633.66 kg

7,633.66 kg the total mass of arsenic in the lake that the company have to remove.

C)

Company claims that it takes 2.74 days to remove 41.90 kilogram of arsenic from lake water.

Days required to remove 1 kilogram of arsenic from the lake water :

Then days required to remove 7,633.66 kg of arsenic from the lake water :

1 year = 365 days

499.19 days =

It will take 1.37 years to remove all of the arsenic from the lake.

away from the curb

explanation:

the wheels would then hit the curb if it started to rolling, decreasing the chance of an accident.

a) the particles of the chair are strongly held together.
