Question: Lead was detected in a surface soil sample collected from bore hole BH - 1 0 - 0 2 at a concentration of 5 ,

Lead was detected in a surface soil sample collected from bore hole BH-10-02 at a concentration of 5,540 mg/kg.1.6 kg of soil was collected in a core 16 in length and 2 in diameter. The sample has a volumetric moisture content of 0.6. We can assume that the concentration of lead in the air phase is negligible. If we assume equilibrium partitioning, what is the total mass of lead in the sample? (R lead is 15060, volumetric moisture is 9.4 ft/d, Kd is 900 L/kg)
