Broth harvested from a fermenter is treated for recovery and purification of a pharmaceutical compound. After filtration of the broth and partial evaporation of the aqueous filtrate, a solution containing 38.6% (w/w) pharmaceutical leaves the evaporator at a flow rate of 8.6 liters min. The specific gravity of the solution is 1.036. If the molecular weight of the drug is 1421 g/mol, calculate: (a) The concentration of pharmaceutical in the solution in units of kg/L (b) The flow rate of pharmaceutical in mol/min

A 500 m2 botanical garden which harvest 1000 flowers per day of 15 variations, in a year the average rainfall is 170 cm/yr. With the rainfall 30% percolates into the ground and the rest are harvested in a spherical cistern. 35% of the cistern water is used for watering that percolates into the ground and the rest of water evaporate. Every day they sprinkled water from the cistern and dug wells. Of the dug well water, 75% evaporates and the remainder percolates back into the ground. (Steady State Condition) What is volume of rainfall in the botanical garden? Volume of water in the cistern Volume of water from the well Volume of water that evapotranspiration from the well Total Volume of water that repercolates into the ground
6. A stock solution containing 25% w/v of chlorhexidine is used to prepare an antiseptic such that when the antiseptic is diluted 1 in 25, a 1 in 500 wash solution is obtained which is ready for use by the patient. What volume (ml) of the stock solution is required to prepare 5 litres of the antiseptic to fulfil a bulk manufacturing order?
A pipet is used to transfer 6.00 mLmL of a 3.75 MM stock solution in flask “S” to a 25.00-mL volumetric flask “A,” which is then diluted with DI H2OH2O to the calibration mark. The solution is thoroughly mixed. Next, 10.00 mLmL of the solution in volumetric flask “A” is transferred by pipet to a 50.00-mL volumetric flask “B” and then diluted with DI H2OH2O to the calibration mark. Calculate the molarity of the solution in volumetric flask “B.”
If a pharmacist dissolves 1.2 g of a medicinal agent in 60 mL of a cough syrup having a specific gravity of 1.20. W hat is the specific gravity (to 3 decimal places) of the product if the addition of the medicinal agent increases the syrup’s volume by 0.2 mL?

A mixture of ethanol (ethyl alcohol) and water contains 40.0% water by mass.(a) Assuming volume additivity of the components, estimate the specific gravity of themixture at 20°C. What volume (in liters) of this mixture is required to provide 150 mol ofethanol?(b) Repeat Part (a) with the additional information that the specific gravity of the mixture at20°C is 0.89045 (making it unnecessary to assume volume additivity). What percentage errorresults from the volume-additivity assumption?
When concentrated nitric is sold, the label contains no mention of the molarity of the acid. Instead, the label normally lists the concentration of nitric acid as a wt/wt percent and gives the specific gravity of the solution. If the solution is 68.0 (wt/wt %) and nitric acid and has a specific gravity of 1.41 kg/L, calculate the molarity of 68.0 % concentrated nitric acid. FW HNO3=63.01g/mol
A given soil sample is subjected for proximate analysis - specifically moisture content and analysis of inorganic matter (or ash) content. A cleaned and tared crucible is weighed in an analytical balance and found to be 4.5015 grams . The soil sample is weighed-in and the crucible, together with the plant sample, measured a total of 6.2525 grams. The set-up is then placed in an oven and dried to 105 degrees Celsius for at least two hours. The setup is cooled to room temperature in a dessicator and then measured to a constant weight of 5.9775 grams. Afterwards, the setup is placed inside the muffle furnace and ignited to 720 degrees Celsius for at least an hour. The set-up is cooled to room temperature again inside the dessicator and then measured to the constant weight of 4.9375 grams. (A) What is the percent moisture in the plant sample? Write the answer in THREE SIGNIFICANT FIGURES. (B) What is the percent volatile (organic) matter in the plant sample? Express answer in THREE…
