The tank that has a volume of 46575 m³ with a concentration of 65 mg/l has a total mass of mercury of: 3027.375 kg
To solve this problem the formulas and the procedures that we have to use are:
- c= m(solute)/v(solution)
- v = long * wide * deep
Where
- c = concentration of solution
- m = mass of solute
- v = volume of solution
Information about the problem:
- long = 115 m
- wide = 45 m
- deep = 9 m
- c= 65 mg/l
- v(solution)=?
- m(mercury)=?
Using the volume formula we get:
v= long * wide * deep
v(solution) = 115 m * 45 m * 9 m
v(solution) = 46575 m³
By converting the volume units from m³ to liters we have:
v(solution) = 46575 m³ * 1000 l/1m³
v(solution) = 43.575*10^6 l
Applying the concentration formula and clearing the mass we get:
c= m(solute)/v(solution)
m(solute) = c * v(solution)
m(mercury) = 65 mg (mercury)/l (solution) * 43.575*10^6 l (solution)
m(mercury) = 3.027375*10^9 mg
By converting the mass units from (mg) to (kg) we have:
m(mercury) = 3.027375*10^9 mg * 1 kg/ 1 * 10^6 mg
m(mercury) = 3027.375 kg
