0.001% means 0.001 g of Pb in 100g of H2O

1 g of Pb present in (100/0.001 )*1 = 10^5 g of H2O

145 mg of Pb present in 10^5 * 145 * 10^-3 g

                                            = 14500 g of water

                                           = 1.45 * 10^4 g of H2O

since density = 1 g /mL then        

                                  = 1.4 * 10^4 mL of H2O (2 significants)
