To aid in the prevention of tooth decay, it is recommended that drinking water contain 0.800 ppm fluoride, f−. how many grams of f− must be added to a cylindrical water reservoir having a diameter of 2.02 × 102 m and a depth of 87.32 m?

2.23 × 10^6 g of F- must be added to the cylindrical reservoir in order to obtain a drinking water with a concentration of 0.8ppm of F-

Explanation:

Here are the steps of how to arrive at the

The volume of a cylinder = ((pi)D²/4) × H

Where D = diameter of the cylindrical reservoir = 2.02 × 10^2m

H = Height of the reservoir = 87.32m

Therefore volume of cylindrical reservoir = (3.142×202²/4)m² × 87.32m = 2798740.647m³

1ppm = 1g/m³

0.8ppm = 0.8 × 1g/m³

= 0.8g/m³

Therefore to obtain drinking water of concentration 0.8g/m³ in a reservoir of volume 2798740.647m³, F- of mass = 0.8g/m³ × 2798740.647m³ = 2.23 × 10^6 g must be added to the tank.
