The label on a 1-pint bottle of mineral water lists the following components. If the density is the same as pure water and you drink 3 bottles of water in one day, how many milligrams of each component will you obtain?

calcium 28 ppm

To calculate the amount of calcium obtained from drinking 3 bottles of water in one day, we need to convert the concentration from parts per million (ppm) to milligrams (mg).

1 ppm = 1 mg/L

Since the density of water is the same as pure water, the volume of 1 bottle is equal to 1 pint, which is approximately 473.18 mL.

Using the given concentration of calcium as 28 ppm, we can calculate the amount of calcium in 1 bottle of water:

Calcium in 1 bottle = 28 mg/L * 473.18 mL
Calcium in 1 bottle = 13223.04 mg

To find the amount of calcium obtained from drinking 3 bottles of water, we multiply the calcium content per bottle by 3:

Calcium intake in one day = 13223.04 mg/bottle * 3 bottles
Calcium intake in one day = 39669.12 mg

Therefore, by drinking 3 bottles of water in one day, you would obtain 39669.12 milligrams of calcium.

To determine how many milligrams of calcium you would obtain from drinking three bottles of water, we need to consider the concentration of calcium listed on the label.

The label states that the concentration of calcium in the mineral water is 28 ppm (parts per million). This means that for every one million parts of the water, 28 parts are calcium.

To convert this concentration from ppm to milligrams, we need to know the mass of the water in the bottle. Let's assume the mass of the water in a 1-pint bottle is 473 mL (which is approximately equal to 473 grams since the density of water is close to 1 g/mL).

To calculate the milligrams of calcium in the water, we can use the formula:

Milligrams of calcium = (Concentration of calcium in ppm) * (Mass of water in grams) / 1,000,000

Milligrams of calcium = (28 ppm) * (473 grams) / 1,000,000

Simplifying the equation, we obtain:

Milligrams of calcium = 0.01324 grams of calcium

Therefore, each 1-pint bottle of mineral water contains approximately 0.01324 grams (or 13.24 milligrams) of calcium.

If you drink three bottles of water in one day, you would obtain a total of:

3 bottles * 13.24 mg/bottle = 39.72 milligrams of calcium
