The label on a one-pint bottle of water lists the following components. If the density is the same as pure water and you drink 2 bottles of water in one day, how many milligrams of each component will you obtain? calcium 28 ppm, fluoride 9ppm, magnesium 14 ppm, potassium3.0ppm, sodium 16ppm

To calculate the amount of each component you would obtain by drinking 2 bottles of water in one day, you need to understand what parts per million (ppm) means.

Parts per million (ppm) is a unit of measurement used to express very low concentrations. It represents the ratio of the weight of a particular component to the total weight of the solution, multiplied by one million.

In this case, the ppm value represents the weight of the component in one pint (equal to 473.18 milliliters) of water.

To find the amount of each component in milligrams (mg) obtained by drinking 2 bottles:

1. Calcium: The ppm value for calcium is 28 ppm. This means there are 28 milligrams of calcium in one million milligrams of water. Since one pint is equal to 473.18 milliliters, we can calculate the amount of calcium as follows:
- (28 mg/L) x (473.18 mL) ≈ 13.234 mg of calcium in 1 pint.
- Therefore, drinking 2 bottles would give you a total of 2 x 13.234 mg = 26.468 mg of calcium.

2. Fluoride: The ppm value for fluoride is 9 ppm. Using the same approach, we can calculate the amount of fluoride in one pint:
- (9 mg/L) x (473.18 mL) ≈ 4.258 mg of fluoride in 1 pint.
- Drinking 2 bottles translates to 2 x 4.258 mg = 8.516 mg of fluoride.

3. Magnesium: With a ppm value of 14 ppm, we can calculate the amount of magnesium in one pint:
- (14 mg/L) x (473.18 mL) ≈ 6.636 mg of magnesium in 1 pint.
- Drinking 2 bottles results in 2 x 6.636 mg = 13.272 mg of magnesium.

4. Potassium: The ppm value for potassium is 3.0 ppm. Using the same method:
- (3.0 mg/L) x (473.18 mL) ≈ 1.419 mg of potassium in 1 pint.
- Drinking 2 bottles gives you a total of 2 x 1.419 mg = 2.838 mg of potassium.

5. Sodium: The ppm value for sodium is 16 ppm. Following the same procedure:
- (16 mg/L) x (473.18 mL) ≈ 7.571 mg of sodium in 1 pint.
- Drinking 2 bottles equates to 2 x 7.571 mg = 15.142 mg of sodium.

Therefore, by consuming two bottles of water in one day, you would obtain approximately:
- 26.468 mg of calcium,
- 8.516 mg of fluoride,
- 13.272 mg of magnesium,
- 2.838 mg of potassium, and
- 15.142 mg of sodium.

I'll do the first one. The others are done the same way.

28 ppm Ca = 28 g Ca/10^6 g H2O =
28000 mg Ca/1,000,000 g H2O =
0.028 mg Ca/1 g H2O = now convert to 2pts = 1 quart = 0.946 L = 946 g H2O.
0.028 mg Ca/1 g H2O is the same as
0.028 mg Ca x 946/1 = ?? mg Ca in 2 pts H2O.
