The fluoridation of city water supplies has been practiced


The fluoridation of city water supplies has been practiced in the US for several decades. It is done by continuously adding sodium fluoride to water as it comes from a reservoir. Assume you live in a medium-sized city of 150,000 people and that 660 L (170 gal) of water is consumed per person per day. What mass of sodium fluoride (in kg) must be added to the water supply each year (365 days) to have the required fluoride concentration of 1 ppm (part per million), that is, 1 kg of fluroide per 1 million kilograms of water? (Sodium fluroide is 45.0% fluoride, and water has a density of 1.00 g/cm^3).
