Dilution means adding water to something so that the ratio of solute to solvent is less than in the original solution. Some people say, “Dilution is the solution to pollution.” Do you think this statement true? Could you ever add enough water so that there would be no drink mix—that the water would be the same as in cup #6, pure water? Do you think you could you ever add enough water to a pollutant to make it disappear completely? Why or why not?

What is the purpose of environmental remediation? to restore water to its original purity levels to make the most of currently used technologies and resources to remove pollution or contamination from the environment to reuse materials that would otherwise go to waste
Use ppm and ppb concentration units. The EPA's secondary standards for contaminants that may cause cosmetic or aesthetic effects in drinking water suggest an upper limit of 0.200 mg/L for aluminum . If 2.38×104 liters of water in a storage tank contains 19.3 grams of Al, what is the contaminant level in ppm? in ppb? Is this level acceptable based on EPA guidelines? ppm ppb acceptable not acceptable
An analysis was conducted to determine the potability of a 35.0-mg sample of tap water. The results revealed that the sample contain 1.8 x 10-3 μg of Lead (Pb). According to the Philippine National Standards of Drinking Water of 2017, the parameter for safe drinking water has a maximum allowable level (MAL) of 0.01 ppm of Lead (Pb) concentration. Determine whether the sample tap water is potable or not (through calculations), and briefly explain your answer.
