4. A 150-g sample of soil contains 0.15 mg of cadmium in it. What is the concentration of cadmium in ppm and in % (m/m)? According to NYSDEC, the allowable concentration of cadmium in agricultural soil is 0.43 mg/kg. Is the soil suitable for agricultural use with respect to cadmium concentration? Ans. 1 ppm, not suitable

The mercury content of a stream was believed to be above the minimum considered safe —1 part per billion (ppb) by weight. An analysis indicated that the concentration was 0.68 parts per billion. What quantity of mercury in grams was present in 15.0 L of the water, the density of which is 0.998 g/ml? ( 1ppbHg=1ngHg1gwater)
87. What volume of 0.151 N NaOH is required to neutralize 24.2 mL of 0.125 N H2SO4? What volume of 0.151 N NaOH is required to neutralize 24.2 n1L of 0.125 M H2SO4?
According to the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), waste material is classified as toxic and must be handled as hazardous if the lead concentration exceeds 5 mg/L. By adding chloride ion, the lead ion will precipitate as PbCl2, which can be separated from the liquid portion. Once the lead has been removed, the rest of the waste can be sent to a conventional waste treatment facility. How many grams of sodium chloride must be added to 500 L of a waste solution to reduce the concentration of the Pb2+ ion from 10 to 5 mg/L?
Solutions of hydrogen in palladium may be formed by exposing Pd metal to H2 gas. The concentration of hydrogen in the palladium depends on the pressure of H2 gas applied, but in a more complex fashion than can be described by Henry's law. Under certain conditions, 0.94 g of hydrogen gas is dissolved in 215 g of palladium metal (solution density = 10.8 g cm3). (a) Determine the molarity of this solution. (b) Determine the molality of this solution. (c) Determine the percent by mass of hydrogen atoms in this solution.
Lead poisoning has been a hazard for centuries. Some scholars believe that the decline of the Roman Empire can be traced, in part, to high levels of lead in water from containers and pipes, and from wine that was stored in leadglazed containers. If we presume that the typical Roman water supply was saturated with lead carbonate, PbCO3 (Ksp = 7.4 1014), how much lead will a Roman ingest in a year if he or she drinks 1 L/day from the container?
How would you prepare from the solid and pure water (a) 0.400 L of 0.155 M Sr(OH)2? (b) 1.75 L of 0.333 M (NH4)2CO3?
