Question
The concentration of mercury in a polluted lakeis 4.5 ppb (part per billion), and the density of water is 1.0 g/mL. (a) Calculatethe concentration of mercury: (i)in g/L (microgram per liter), and (ii) in mol/L.(b)If the lake has surface area of 1.3km2and an average depth of 16m, how many kilograms of mercury are present in the lake?
