Children's toys and jewelry were assessed for their contamination by potentially toxic elements (PTE). This includes traces of As (74.92 g/mol), Cd (112.4 g/mol), Pb (207.2 g/mol), and Zn (65.39 g/mol) among others. The concentrations of these PTEs were determined to characterize the subsequent health risks, and to possibly reinforce better legislation on the manufacturing of these products. A. If 365 ppb of Cd was observed, what is its equivalent in %(w/w)? B. A sample of plastic toy was treated resulting to a 1000 mL solution. What is the concentration of As in ppm if 65 ug of As is found in the sample? C. A 250 mL stock solution of 1.5 M Pb standard was prepared. What volume (in mL) of Pb stock solution must you use to prepare 50 mL of 0.15 M Pb solution? D. If the treatment used HNO3 (p = 1.51 g/mL) as the solvent during dissolution, and the density of Zn is 7.1 g/mL, what is the concentration of Zn in molality if the amount of Zn found in a 250 mL solution was 48 mg?
