Question

Transcribed Image Text:The wastewater from a manufacturing treatment plant is discharged to a
municipal 'treatment plant for processing with domestic wastewater. The
characteristics of the wastewater from the manufacturing treatment plant
are 3500 mg/l BOD, 4500 mg/l SS, 70 mg/l nitrogen and 2 mg/l
phosphorous. The characteristics of the domestic wastewater are 350
mg/I BOD, 285 mg/l SS, 50 mg/I N and 11 mg/lP. If the required BOD/N/P
weight ratio is 100/5/1, what is the minimum quantity of domestic
wastewater required per 1000 gallons of manufacturing wastewater to
provide adequate nutrients for biological treatment and the concentration
of SS in the combined wastewater?

- When selling on the street, dealers may not know the purity of the ketamine they have, and thus users do not know exactly how much ketamine they are receiving. It is unlikely that the ketamine is pure, or even that different batches of ketamine have the same purity. Assume the drug the user typically buys is only 25%25% ketamine, and therefore, the user actually dissolved 0.250 g0.250 g ketamine in 1/41/4 cup of water to make the solution instead of 1 g1 g in the previous question. 1 cup=236.5 mL1 cup=236.5 mL What volume of this ketamine solution would the 71.0 kg71.0 kg user have to inject to experience a high at 0.500 mg/kgarrow_forwardA pipet is used to transfer 5.00 mL of a 1.25 M stock solution in flask "S" to a 25.00-mL volumetric flask "B," which is then diluted with DI H,0 to the calibration mark. The solution is thoroughly mixed. Next, 2.00 mL of the solution in volumetric flask "A" is transferred by pipet to a 50.00-mL volumetric flask "B" and then diluted with DI H,0 to the calibration mark. Calculate the molarity of the solution in vol- umetric flask “B."arrow_forwardThe chlorine content of a pool with a capacity of 1.80×104 L was discovered to be 0.00145% by mass, which is well below the sanitary level of 0.00305%. How much chlorine needs to be added in order for the pool to meet the health regulation standard of 0.00305%? First draw a flowchart, then given that the pool consists of fresh water and chlorine, write the total mass (or alternatively chlorine mass) and fresh water balance equations, and then calculate the mass of chlorine in grams that needs to be added to the pool. Assume that the density of the pool water is the same as that of fresh water (1.00 kg/L), the pool is filled to its rated capacity (1.80×104 L), and that the required chlorine can be added to this capacity.arrow_forward

- For hospital patients suffering from dehydration, it may be necessary to provide them with intravenous fluids. A common IV bag used for this purpose contains 4.00% (wv) glucose (MW = 180.16 g/mole) and 0.450% (w/v) of sodium chloride (MW = 58.44 g/mole). If you were attempting to prepare a standard 1.00 L bag of this solution starting from a stock solution containing 30.0% (w/v) glucose and 3.38% (w/v) sodium chloride, how many mL of the stock solution would you need? Hint: Only one calculation is needed.arrow_forwardYou are a chemist and FBI crime scene investigator and find a sealed bag containing a suspicious white substance. The substance turns out to be a powder containing fentanyl (C22H28N2O, 336.470 g/mol) and lactose (C12H22O11) 342.298 g/mol). To find out exactly how much fentanyl was in the bag, you use a 100.0 mL volumetric flask to dissolve 1.000 g of the white powder in water. The osmotic pressure for the solution at laboratory temperature, 21.7 °C, is 538.2 mmHg. What percent of the white powder is fentanyl?arrow_forwardYou dissolve 150.0 grams of a mixture of MgCl2 and KCI in water, add a solution of excess AgNO3, and precipitate all of the chloride ion as AgCI. After filtration and drying, you find that you have formed 335.0 grams of AgCl. What is the mass in grams of KCI that was in the original 150.0 grams of mixture? g 1 4 C 7 8. +/- x 100 Tap here or pull up for additional resources 3. LOarrow_forward
