A commercial research organization is planning to develop a sensor to detect methyl parathion that may be injected into a water supply by terrorists. The LD50 for methyl parathion is reported to be as low as 6 mg ・ kg−1 for rats. They are assuming a safety factor of 1 × 105 and a volume of liquid ingested equal to a cup of coffee (about 250 mL) in the design of the instrument. What concentration (in mg ・ L−1) must their instrument be able to detect? Using Equation 6–10, the concentration you have calculated, the ingestion rate of 250 mL, an exposure frequency of one day, and exposure duration of one day, an adult malebody weight, and an averaging time of 1 day, estimate the hazard index. The RfD for methyl parathion is 2.5 × 10−4 mg ・ kg−1 ・ d−1 .
5. Adult oyster shells are composed mainly of calcite, CaCO3. It’s dissolution in water can be described as: CaCO3 (s) ⇌ Ca 2+ + CO32- The surface seawater around Hong Kong has concentrations of [CO32-] = 1 x 10-5 mol/kg and [Ca2+] = 0.01 mol/kg. Will oyster shells dissolve in the seawater?
Flint water crisis: “Soon after the city began supplying residents with Flint River water in April 2014, residents started complaining that the water from their taps looked, smelled, and tasted foul. Despite protests by residents lugging jugs of discoloured water, officials maintained that the water was safe. A study conducted the following year by researchers at Virginia Tech revealed the problem: Water samples collected from 252 homes through a resident-organized effort indicated citywide lead levels had spiked, with nearly 17% of samples registering above the federal “action level”. More than 40% measured above 5 ppb of lead, which the researchers considered an indication of a “very serious” problem.” Lead (Pb) was released from the distribution pipeline in the city of Flint due to a switch of the water source.

Virtual graduate student Sherry Molestonecraft is assigned to help you carry out the standardization of your NaOH solution. She weighs out 1.30 grams of solid KHP (molar mass 204.2 g/mol) and dissolves it in about 50 mL of water in an Erlenmeyer flask. She then titrates the KHP solution to the equivalence point using the NaOH solution described in Question 1 above. The volume of NaOH solution needed to reach the equivalence point is 34.41 milliliters. This is a practice question that i need help with. thank you
