The average micro-nano plastic concentration in bottled water was about 2.4×10^5 particles per liter of bottled water, about 90% of which were nano-sized particles. Assuming that each nanoparticle can be approximated as a sphere with a diameter of 100 nm and that the average density of nanoparticles is 1.2 g/cm^3, estimate the mass of nanoparticles ingested if someone drinks all of their recommended 64 fluid ounces of water per day via bottled water every day for a year. Provide your answer is units of nanograms (ng).
What is the density of a substance in g/cm^3, if a 0.200cm^3 sample of the metal has a mass of 15,800 micrograms?
A cylindrical bar was found at the bottom of a storage tank of unknown composition. The material had a diameter of 8 mm, a length of 62 cm and a mass of 0.018 kg. What is the density of this material in g/mL? The volume of a cylinder is given by V = πr^2h.
