We have formula , ppb = [ Mass of solute/ Mass of solution ] 10 9
Mass of As = 50 ng = 5
10 -08 g
We have denstiy = Mass / volume
Therefore, Mass = density
volume
Therefore, Mass of solution = mass of water = 1 g /ml
25 ml = 25 g
ppb As = ( 5
10 -08 g / 25 g ) 10 9 = 2 ppb
Concentration of As in water sample is 2 ppb and safe limit is 50 ppb. Hence , we can assume this water is safe.

2) The EPA has determined that the maximum safe level of nitrate ion in water is 10 ppm. Suppose a sample of tap water was determined to have a nitrate ion concentration of 95 ppb. Assume the density of water is 1.00 g/mL a) What is the concentration of nitrate ion in units of ppm? Is it safe to drink? b) What is the concentration of nitrate ion in units of mg/ml? c) What mass of nitrate ion is in...
A researcher for the EPA measured the amount of arsenic in the water near a sewage treatment plant. Over 5 days, he took n = 20 measurements in ppb). His sample data is summarized in the ogive graph shown below. 20 wa 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 os ERRE Arsenic (ppb) How many measurements taken in this time frame were less than 40 ppb? ans =
Suppose a group of volunteers is planning to build a park near a local lake. The lake is known to contain low levels of arsenic (As). Therefore, prior to starting construction, the group decides to measure the current level of arsenic in the lake. If a 11.7 cm3 sample of lake water is found to have 170.3 ng As, what is the concentration of arsenic in the sample in parts per billion (ppb), assuming that the density of the lake...
Flint, Michigan faces a serious water contamination crisis with high levels of lead (Pb) found in the water. The EPA has a limit of 0.015 mg/L. Express this concentration in units of ppb. Assume the water has a density of 1 g/mL.

: The maximum safe level of bacteria per mL sample of water is 50. Suppose that 60 samples of water are taken randomly from our water source. For these 60 observations, the average bacteria content is 51.7 bacteria per mL, with a standard deviation of 7 bacteria per mL. Is there reason to believe that the water is unsafe to drink?
Suppose a group of volunteers is planning to build a park near a local lake. The lake is known to contain low levels of arsenic (As).(As).
