Ihave always enjoyed eating tuna fish. unfortunately, a study of the mercury content of canned tuna in 2010 foundthat chunk white tuna contains 0.6 ppm hg and chunk lighttuna contains 0.14 ppm. (s. l. gerstenberger, a. martinson, and j. l. kramer, environ. toxicol. chem. 2010, 29, 237.) theu. s. environmental protection agency recommends no morethan 0.1 mg hg/kg body weight per day. i weigh 68 kg. howoften may i eat a can containing 6 ounces (1 lb 5 16 oz) ofchunk white tuna so that i do not average more than 0.1 mghg/kg body weight per day? if i switch to chunk light tuna, how often may i eat one can?

You can eat one chunk white tuna of 6 oz every 21,5 minutes

And, you can eat one chunk linght tuna of 6 oz every 5 minutes

Explanation:

The exposure to mercury may cause serious health problems, and is a threat to the development of the child in utero and early in life.

If you weight 68 kg you can eat:

68 kg * 0,1mgHg/ kg = 6,8 mg Hg per day

Thus, you can eat:

6,8 mg Hg * 1 kg tuna/ 0,6 mg Hg = 11,33 kg of chunk white tuna per day

In ounces:

11,33 kg * 35,274oz/ 1 kg = 400 oz per day

You can eat 66,7 6 ounces of chunk white tuna per day. One every 21,5 minutes

Thus, you can eat:

6,8 mg Hg * 1 kg tuna/ 0,14 mg Hg = 48,57 kg of chunk white tuna per day

In ounces:

48,57 kg * 35,274oz/ 1 kg = 1713 oz per day

You can eat 285,6 6 ounces of chunk white tuna per day. One every 5 minutes

I hope it helps!

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
