Concentration of phosphate (mg/L)
A large mine on the island of Cebu in the Philippines was in operation from 1953 until 1994. When the
mine closed, it left behind waste rock, tailings, open pits, and landfills that are leaching lead toxins into the
environment. In 2006, mining operations re-commenced, and are also responsible for lead pollution in the
area. One water sample immediate above river sediment was collected and analyzed. Answer Questions 14
& 15.
14. If the water sample contained 15,231 ppm of lead, what was the molar concentration?
А. 3.77 х 106 М
В. 3.77 х 102 М
C. 7.35 × 10-² M
D. 7.35 × 10-5 M
Е. 1.52 х 104 М
15. Determine pE for the water sample. Does this water favor oxidation or reduction?
Pb2*(aq) + 2e
Pb(s)
E° = -0.1262 V
A. pE = -1.01, oxidization.
B. pE = -1.01, reduction.
C. pE = -3.14, oxidization.
D. pE = -3.14, reduction.
E. pE = -0.14, reduction.
