Example. Consider a household on a given day received 20 Ib of consumer goods (food, paper, cardboard, and cans). The family stored 7.65 Ib from food products, which represent 45% of the goods brought into the house. The remaining food is ground up and discharged to the local sewer. Cans represented 30% of the goods entering the house, 4 Ib of cans were recycled and the remaining were stored into the house. Paper and cardboard were 5% were incinerated by the family where 80% was stored in the house and the remainder paper was discharged as mixed waste. Prepare a material balance for this house on this day?

Problem 2Approximately 30 kg of consumer products are brought into a home by its residents on a weekly basis. Two thirdsof this quantity are used as food, and about 2 kg of these products remain in the house. Every week, 75% of thewaste is collected at the curb, with the remainder sent to recycling.1. Plot the mass balance diagram of the house showing the mass of inputs, accumulations and outputs.2. Estimate how much solid waste the residents leave out to the curb each week.
Calculate the 5-day BOD of a domestic waste water based on the following data: volume of waste water added to 300 ml bottle = 6.0 ml, initial DO = 8.1 mg/l, and 5-day DO = 4.2 mg/l. What is the ultimate BOD assuming a k-rate of 0.1 per day?

ChemLabs uses raw materials I and II to produce two domestic cleaning solutions, A and B. The daily availabilities of raw materials I and II are 150 and 145 units, respectively. One unit of solution A consumes 0.5 unit of raw material I and 0.6 unit of raw material II. One unit of solution B uses 0.5 unit of raw material I and 0.4 unit of raw material II. The profits per unit of solutions A and B are $8 and $10, respectively. The daily demand for solution A lies between 30 and 150 units, and that for solution B between 40 and 200 units. Find the optimal production amounts of A and B.
