Cd is a heavy metal that leaches at a rate of approximately 0.0012 milligram/liter per year. Consider a body of water with a volume of 2.25 x 10° L and an initial Pb concentration of 0.002 kilogram. Solve the amount of Pb (in kilograms) in the body of water after 5.0 years, assuming no water evaporation from the body of water's surface.
