- What is the level of heavy metal (in ppm) in a 3.89 kg sample that has 0.9 mg of the heavy metal present in the sample?? 1. 0.12 ppm 2. 0.46 ppm 3. 0.23 ppm 4. 2.3 ppm 5. 23.1 ppmarrow_forward"Vinyl chloride [monomer (VCM, C₂H3CI)] is one of the most widely-used industrial chemicals (about 3 x 1010 kg produced each year for making PVC plastic)" and is in the news lately due to the train derailment in East Palestine, OH. "It is also one of the most toxic chemicals and a known carinogen. The maximum concentration of vinyl chloride allowed in drinking water in the United States is 0.002 mg/L."arrow_forwardWhat is the concentration in ppm of DDT in each of the following? a. 25 µgram in 1.0 kg breast milkb. 5 x 10-4 g in 1.0 kg minnow tissue c. 2.0 mg in 1.0 kg needlefish tissuearrow_forward
- What is the concentration of chloride in a solution made with 0.808 grams of CaCl2 and 250 ml of water, in ppm? A. 2000 ppm B. 1070 ppm C. 2070 ppmarrow_forwardAn action will elevate the concentrations of three chemicals in the drinking water supply: 1,1,1- trichloroethane to 2 mg/L, tetrachloroethylene to 0.04 mg/L and 1,1-dichloroethylene to 0.1 mg/L. Determine the lifetime risk of developing an undesirable health effect due to this exposure for a 50 kg adult who drinks 1 L/day of water containing these elevated pollution levels. Is there cause for concern? Why?arrow_forwardWhich of these will NOT dissolve in water? a.table salt b.sugar c.vinegar d.bacon fatarrow_forward
- Express each of these concentrations in parts per million (ppm). 7.4 milligrams per kilogram of water concentration: 7.4 micrograms per kilogram of water concentration: 7.4 nanograms per kilogram of water concentration: ppm ppm ppmarrow_forwardHow do microorganisms such as bacteria eliminate harmful reactive oxygen species?arrow_forwardAn injectable preparation comes packaged as a 4 g vial and states that you should add 35 mL to achieve a final concentration of 200 mg/2 mL. How much diluent should you add to achieve a final concentration of 125 mg/2 mL? O a. 52 mL O b.59 mL O c. 55 mL O d. 48 mLarrow_forward
- please very soon full explanationarrow_forwardExpress each of these concentrations in parts per million (ppm). 4.6 milligrams per kilogram of water concentration: ppm 4.6 micrograms per kilogram of water concentration: ppm 4.6 nanograms per kilogram of water concentration: ppmarrow_forward1. You have a concentrated stock solution of bacterial LPS in water that has a concentration of 1 mg/ml. What is the concentration of a diluted solution with a dilution factor of 1:2? 2. Your stock solution is 1 mg/ml and your final solution is 1ug/ml. What is your dilution factor? 3. A 1 ug/ml solution is diluted so it is half as concentrated as the stock. What is the concentration of the new solution in ng/ml?arrow_forward
