    Complete Question:

    To aid in the prevention of tooth decay, it is recommended that drinking water contain 0.800 ppm fluoride. How many grams of F - must be added to a cylindrical water reservoir having a diameter of 2.02 * 102 m and a depth of 87.32 m?

    Answer:

    2.23x10⁶ g

    Explanation:

    The concentration of the fluoride (F⁻) must be 0.800 ppm, which is 0.800 parts per million, so the water must have 0.800 g of F⁻ / 1000000 g of the solution. The density of the water at room temperature is 997 kg/m³ = 997x10³ g/m³. So, the concentration of the fluoride will be:

    0.800 g of F⁻ / 1000000 g of the solution * 997x10³ g/m³

    0.7976 g/m³

    The volume of the reservoir is the volume of the cylinder: area of the base * depth. The base is a circumference, which has an area:

    A = πR², where R is the radius = 1.01x10² m (half of the diameter)

    A = π * (1.01x10²) ²

    A = 32047 m²

    The volume is then:

    V = 32047 * 87.32

    V = 2.7983x10⁶ m³

    The mass of the F⁻ is the concentration multiplied by the volume:

    m = 0.7976 * 2.7983x10⁶

    m = 2.23x10⁶ g
