A container is filled with 70 liters which is 40% alcohol by volume. How much of a mixture must be taken and then replaced with equal amount of water so that the resulting solution is 30% alcohol by volume?
When visiting your grandmother, you decide to take a fresh warm bath and wash your hair. However, grandmother lives in Maine, where the tap water is very soft, having a hardness of only 20 mg/L as CaCO3. In order to have an effective shampoo, you want the hardness to be about 80 mg/L as CaCO3. But, you notice that grandma regularly buys bottled mineral water that has the following concentration of major ions, and you have the crazy idea of using the mineral water to adjust the hardness:
Ions
mmol/L
Ca2+
5
Mg2+
0
Na+
1
Cl-
1
HCO3-
10
SO42-
0
If the total volume of the bath tub is 1m3, what volumes of tap and bottled water must you mix together to have your ideal shampoo? If bottled water costs $ 1 per liter, what bill is grandma going to expect for a bath?
1 A woman works in a factory for 15 years. The drinking water in the factory contains xylene and fluoride. Her only exposure to these chemicals in water is at work. Using Table 10,find the hazard index associated with this exposure?Xylene: 0.6 mg/LFluoride: 3.1 mg/L

- They both have their advocates and detractors. On one of the flyers (printedon paper) they said:Plastic bag does not emit toxic fumes when properly incinerated. When burned in waste-to energy plants, the resulting by-products from combustion are carbon dioxide and water vapor. The bag is inert in landfills, when it does not contribute to leaching, bacterial or explosive gas problems. The bag photo-degrades in sunlight to the point that normal environmental factors of wind and rain will cause it to break into very small pieces.

He stops at a café in the old town and orders a bottle of mineral water. The reported chemical concentration of this water is: [Na+] = 0.65 mg/L, [K+] = 0.4 mg/L, [Mg2+] = 19 mg/L, [Ca2+] = 35 mg/L, [CI-] = 0.8 mg/L, [SO42-] = 14.3 mg/L, [HCO3-] = 189 mg/L. (a) Which of these chemicals would you use to calculate hardness? (b) All aqueous solutions must maintain charge neutrality. Another way to state this is that the sum of all cations on an equivalent basis must equal the sum of all anions on an equivalent basis (within 5%). Thus, water samples can be checked to determine whether something is incorrect in the analyses or a constituent is missing. Verify that the reported chemical concentrations listed above make sense based on the above information.arrow_forwardQuestion 10 Carbon monoxide emissions are the result of incomplete oxidation of O Carbon in the waste to CO2 O Hydrogen in the waste to CO2 O Nitrogen in the waste to CO, Fluorine in the waste to co2arrow_forward
