Question

it is considered unsafe to have more than 50.0 ppm of arsenic in drinking water. if u have a bottle of water containing 250g of water with this level of arsenic what mass of asemic would u ingest the answer is a.bc x 10-2 g. input the values for a,b,c with no spaces, or commas

Answer 1

To calculate the mass of arsenic you would ingest, first, we need to find how many grams of arsenic are in 50.0 ppm of a 250g bottle of water.

50.0 ppm means 50.0 grams of arsenic in 1,000,000 grams of water (1 kg).

So, for a 250g bottle, you can calculate:

(50.0 g / 1,000,000 g) * 250 g = 0.0125 g

This is equal to 1.25 x 10^-2 g.

So, the answer is "125" for a, "1" for b, and "2" for c.
