A water quality standard recognized in British Columbia for Zn
in marine environments is 10 ?g/L. Convert this to (a) milligrams
per liter and (b) nanomoles per liter. Molecular weight of Zn:
63.38 g/mol.

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex](a)\ 10^4\ mg/L[/tex]

[tex](b)\ 10^{10}\ mg/L[/tex]

Explanation:

(a) As given in question,

concentration of zinc in atmosphere = 10 g/L

By converting g to mg,

     1 g = 1000 mg

=>  10 g = 10 x 1000 mg

             [tex]=\ 10^4\ mg[/tex]

Hence, the concentration of zinc in the environment in mg/L is [tex]10^4\ mg/L.[/tex]

(a) As given in question,

concentration of zinc in atmosphere = 10 g/L

By converting g to nano gm,

    [tex]1\ g\ =\ 10^9\ nano\ gm[/tex]

[tex]=>\ 10\ g\ =\ 10\ \times\ 10^9\ nano\ gm[/tex]

             [tex]=\ 10^{10}\ nano\ gm[/tex]

Hence, the concentration of zinc in the environment in nano gm/L is [tex]10^{10}\ nano\ gm/L.[/tex]
