The maximum allowable concentration of lead in drinking water is 9.0 ppb. (b) How many grams of lead are in a swimming pool containing 9.0 ppb lead in 60 m3 of water?

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Understand that 'ppb' stands for 'parts per billion', which means 9.0 ppb of lead means 9.0 grams of lead per 1 billion grams of water.
Calculate the mass of water in the swimming pool. Since the density of water is approximately 1 g/cm^3, convert the volume of the pool from cubic meters to grams. Note that 1 m^3 = 1,000,000 cm^3, so 60 m^3 = 60,000,000 cm^3, which is 60,000,000 grams of water.
Use the definition of ppb to find the mass of lead. Set up a proportion: (9.0 grams of lead / 1,000,000,000 grams of water) = (x grams of lead / 60,000,000 grams of water).
Solve the proportion for x to find the mass of lead in grams in the swimming pool.
Ensure the units are consistent and check the calculation for any errors.

Parts Per Billion (ppb)

Parts per billion (ppb) is a unit of measurement used to describe the concentration of a substance in a solution. It indicates how many parts of a substance are present in one billion parts of the total solution. In the context of drinking water, a concentration of 9.0 ppb means there are 9 grams of lead in one billion grams of water.

Volume and Density of Water

The volume of water is crucial for calculating the total mass of the solution. In this case, 60 m³ of water is equivalent to 60,000 liters, and since the density of water is approximately 1 g/mL, this volume translates to about 60,000,000 grams of water. Understanding this relationship allows for accurate calculations of the mass of lead present in the water.

Mass Calculation from Concentration

To find the mass of lead in the swimming pool, one can use the concentration in ppb and the total mass of the water. The formula involves multiplying the concentration (in grams per billion grams) by the total mass of the water (in grams). This calculation provides the total mass of lead present, which is essential for determining compliance with safety standards.
