Mercury poisoning is a debilitating disease that is often fatal. In the human body, mercury reacts with essential enzymes leading to irreversible inactivity of these enzymes. If the amount of mercury in a polluted lake is 0.5 µg Hg/mL (this is an exact measurement), what is the total mass in kilograms of mercury in the lake? (The lake has a surface area of 100.6 mi² and and average depth of 15 ft.) Hint: Pay attention to the Significant Figures rules. Make sure to write the final unit.
