Chapter 1, Problem 81IAE
The Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRO) chlorinates the water supply of the region at the rate of 1 ppm. that is, 1 kilogram of chlorine per million kilograms of water. The chlorine is introduced in the form of sodium hypochlorite, which is 47.62% chlorine. The population of theGVRD is 1.8 million persons. If each person uses 750 L of water per day, how many kilograms of sodium hypochlorite must be added to the water supply each week to produce the required chlorine level of 1 ppm?

Carl is approaching the Canadian border on a trip from Vermont to Montreal, Canada, and the gas in his tank is low. He wants to determine if it would be more cost efficient to buy gas before or after crossing the border. He consults Gas Buddy and finds that the cost of gas in the US is 2.45 USD per gallon, while just across the border it is $1.40 CAD per liter. The currency exchange rate is $0.750 USD per $1.000 CAD. How much more gas (in gallons) will he get for $20 USD if he buys the gas before crossing the border instead of buying it in Canada? (1.000 liter = 0.264 US gallons).
What mass of water (in grams) is produced by the complete combustion of 2.68 g of ethanol, C2H5OH? Write only the numerical value of the answer in the box (and not the unit of measure), and take into account significant figures.
55. A typical rate of deposit of dust ("dustfall") from unpolluted air is 10. tons per square mile per
month. What is this dustfall, expressed in mg per square meter per hour? Assume 1 ton = 2000. lbs. and
1 month = 30 days.

- Suppose that you are closing a cabin in the north woods for the winter and you do not want the water in the toilet tank to freeze. You know that the temperature might get as low as 30. C, and you want to protect about 4.0 L water in the toilet tank from freezing. Calculate the volume of ethylene glycol (density = 1.113 g/mL; molar mass = 62.1 g/mol) you should add to the 4.0 L water.arrow_forwardOne of the volunteers suggests hiring an on-site water treatment company to remove the arsenic from the lake. The company claims their process takes 2.01 days to remove 36.00 kg of arsenic from a water source. Calculate the total mass, in kilograms, of arsenic in the lake that the company will have to remove if the total volume of water in the lake is 0.770 km³. total mass: kg Based on the company's claim and the concentration of arsenic in the lake, how maný years will it take to remove all of the arsenic from the lake, assuming that there are always 365 days in a year? number of years: yearsarrow_forwardUsing stoichiometry, you calculate that you will create 0.43 moles of carbon dioxide when you react baking soda with vinegar to fill up a balloon. After doing the experiment you calculate the volume of the balloon by using water displacement to be 16 cups. If the temperature in the room is 25 °C and the pressure is 1 atm, what is the percent error between the volume the balloon should be and the volume it reached. 1 cup = 236.6 ml.arrow_forward
- Ethylene (CH₂CH₂) is the starting point for a wide array of industrial chemical syntheses. For example, worldwide about 8.0 × 100 kg of polyethylene are made from ethylene each year, for use in everything from household plumbing to artificial joints. Natural sources of ethylene are entirely inadequate to meet world demand, so ethane (CH3CH3) from natural gas is "cracked" in refineries at high temperature in a kinetically complex reaction that produces ethylene gas and hydrogen gas. Suppose an engineer studying ethane cracking fills a 50.0 L reaction tank with 20.0 atm of ethane gas and raises the temperature to 600. °C. She believes K = 0.70 at this temperature. р alo Calculate the percent by mass of ethylene the engineer expects to find in the equilibrium gas mixture. Round your answer to 2 significant digits. Ar Note for advanced students: the engineer may be mistaken about the correct value of K, and the mass percent of ethylene you calculate may not be what she actually observes. %…arrow_forwardAn apartment has the dimensions 18 m by 9 m by 6 m.

- Below are 3 real life situations. Pick two (2) them and explain ALL the science involved in the scenario. This means describe things like what is happening to the gas/liquid/solid molecules or atoms, which principles or laws are at work, why what is happening is happening, and how you know. At sea level, a pot of water will boil at 100 °C. Suppose you wanted to boil the same amount of water high in the Rocky Mountains. What do you expect the temperature will need to be (generally speaking)? Why? A can of soda sits in a sunny spot on the window sill for several hours. It is then opened at the same time as a cold can of soda from the refrigerator. What happens and why? Weather balloons do not float out into space. They reach an altitude of about 15 miles above the surface (3x the height of Mt Everest) and they burst. Why?arrow_forwardOn December 1, 1783, Jacque Charles became the first human to pilot a non-tethered hydrogen balloon. He flew the balloon for fifteen miles and stayed in the air for a total flight time of 45 minutes. The balloon was made of silk coated with a thin layer of natural rubber and had a diameter of 27 feet. He generated the hydrogen gas needed to lift the balloon by mixing a large amount of iron with aqueous sulfuric acid. If he used 1 x 103 lbs. of iron and excess sulfuric acid, how many liters of hydrogen gas were made? Fe(s) + H2SO4(aq) = FeSO4 (aq) + H2(g)arrow_forwardP1A.10 Ozone is a trace atmospheric gas which plays an important role in screening the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation, and the abundance of ozone is commonly reported in Dobson units. Imagine a column passing up through the atmosphere. The total amount of O3 in the column divided by its cross-sectional area is reported in Dobson units with 1 Du =0.4462 mmol m−2. What amount of O3 (in moles) is found in a column of atmosphere with a cross-sectional area of 1.00 dm2 if the abundance is 250 Dobson units (a typical midlatitude value)? In the seasonal Antarctic ozone hole, the column abundance drops below 100 Dobson units; how many moles of O3 are found in such a column of air above a 1.00 dm2 area? Most atmospheric ozone is found between 10 and 50 km above the surface of the Earth. If that ozone is spread uniformly through this portion of the atmosphere, what is the average molar concentration corresponding to (a) 250 Dobson units, (b) 100 Dobson units?arrow_forward
- While excavating ancient remains, an archaeologist discovers a box of minted coins. The nineteen coins have identical markings and composition. The archaeologist performs some measurements and records the following data in her lab notebook: total mass of coins = 1.23 lbs melting point of material = 1981 °F coins dropped into graduated cylinder, water rises from 3.50 fl oz. to 5.62 fl oz. Later, the archaeologist compares her measurements to the data table shown below. Is it possible the coins are made of one of the metals listed in the table? If so, which one?
