Interpretation:
Total increase and the percentage increase in emission of
Concept Introduction:
Energy is the property that is required by an object to perform work and to heat itself and it can be measured.
The average change is calculated by dividing the change in the value by the elapsed time.
Answer to Problem 58E
Solution:
a)

Unfortunately, a study of the mercury content of canned tuna in 2010 found that chunk white tuna contains 0.6 ppm Hg and chunk light tuna contains 0.14 ppm2. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends no more than 0.1 μg Hg/kg body weight per day. A person weighs 65 kg. How often may the person eat a can containing 6 ounces (16 oz=1 lb) of chunk white tuna so that they do not average more than 0.1 μg Hg/kg body weight per day? The person can consume one 6 oz can of chunk white tuna every ______ days. If the person switches to chunk light tuna, how often can they eat one can? The person can consume one 6 oz can of chunk light tuna every _______ days. S. L. Gerstenberger, A. Martinson, and J.L.
