DID YOU KNOW...One of the main components of gum is Xylem. The chemical composition of xylem sap is most often determined and compared with that of the aqueous soil extracts around the tree source. In Muschelkalk soil, carbon, nitrogen, and calcium are present in the greatest concentrations. Sulfur, boron, magnesium, sodium, and potassium were greatest in Keuper, and the concentrations in Loess soil were intermediate. Potassium is often the dominant cation in xylem sap and is greatest in plants grown on Keuper. In xylem sap, nitrate is normally the major anion, followed by malate. Nitrate concentration was greatest in plants grown on Muschelkalk, while malate was greater in plants grown on Keuper. Chloride, sulfate, and phosphate concentration in sap were increased by fertilizer treatment.

A sulfuric acid plant produces a considerable amount ofheat. This heat is used to generate electricity, which helpsreduce operating costs. The synthesis of H2SO4 consists ofthree main chemical processes: (a) oxidation of S to SO2,(b) oxidation of SO2 to SO3, (c) the dissolving of SO3 inH2SO4 and the subsequent reaction with water to formH2SO4. If the third process produces 130 kJ/mol, howmuch heat is produced in preparing a mole of H2SO4 froma mole of S? How much heat is produced in preparing5000 pounds of H2SO4?
(a) In 20 or less of yourown words define the term “leachate”and describe how it forms. (b) Previous records had shown that to prevent acute toxicity to organisms, the maximum mass of CdSO4 that should be allowed into the landfill was determined to be 0.1 kg. This was calculated using a standard concentration of Cd in mg/L where the volume of the leachate pond was used as 500 000L. (i) Provide the name of the CdSO4 compound. State the oxidation number of Cd in this compound (ii) You need to ensure that the concentration used to determine the mass of Cd allowed in the landfill, meets the current regulatory standard. Assuming that previous calculations determined that all of the CdSO4 would be deposited in the leachate pond, what standard concentration of Cd in mg/L was used to determine the maximum mass of allowable CdSO4?
