One of the National Academy of Engineering Grand Challenges for Engineering is Manage the Nitrogen Cycle. It is important to control the agricultural impact on the nitrogen cycle as engineers attempt to provide a sustainable food supply. To grow an experimental crop to test a new fertilizer, you create a small “farm” with the soil at a depth of 9.0 inches [in]. You use 350 buckets of soil, and each bucket holds 5 gallons [gal] of soil. What is the area of your “farm” in units of square feet [ft2]?

Medicare does not cover the cost of this prescription medicine, which currently averages $297.78 per kilogram. The theoretical yield for the pure barium sulfate you were transferring was 500.00kg. You spilled 27.45 kg. What is the % yield of the transfer that you need to report? And also determine the consumer price of the spilled barium sulfate.
You are on the management team of a company that is considering purchasing a tanker truck. The truck you want has a volume of 26,000 liters and an empty mass/weight of 15,500 kg. However, the route you wish to travel has a bridge with a weight limit of 25 tons. If you purchase the truck and fill it to capacity with a liquid whose density is 0.80kg/L, what will the mass of the truck be?
High fructose corn syrup is a sweetener found in everyday food items especially carbonated beverages. It is derived from the "fruit" of corn using a bioprocess that degrades corn starch into its constituent sugars. Given the quantity of corn syrup (d = 1.4 kg L^-1) needed for many industries. It should be no surprise that this product is often transported from place to place in tank cars (via railway) where the typical transport mass is 2.290 x 10^5lbs. In the space provided below, calculated the diameter in (meters) of such a tank car's 11.12m long-cylindrical transport container. Recall that 1 gal =3.785 L, kg= 2.205lbs, and 1cm^3 =exactly 1mL
Bandar Industries Berhad of Malaysia manufactures sporting equipment. One of the company’s products, a football helmet for the North American market, requires a special plastic. During the quarter ending June 30, the company manufactured 3,300 helmets, using 2,442 kilograms of plastic. The plastic cost the company $18,559. According to the standard cost card, each helmet should require 0.66 kilograms of plastic, at a cost of $8.00 per kilogram. Required: 1. What is the standard quantity of kilograms of plastic (SQ) that is allowed to make 3,300 helmets? 2. What is the standard materials cost allowed (SQ × SP) to make 3,300 helmets? 3. What is the materials spending variance? 4. What is the materials price variance and the materials quantity variance?
Gypsum is the hydrate of calcium sulfate, CaSO4 · 2 H2O. It is the primary material in sheet rock, used to make walls in houses. If you heat 23.42 g of the hydrate and drive off the water, what is the weight of the anhydrous salt remaining? Report your response to the proper degree of certainty and include the correct unit symbol (i.e., g, mL, km, etc.).
Ether was one of the first anesthetics discovered. Assume that several mL of ether is placed in an Erlenmeyer flask with a volume of 293 mL, and the flask is immersed in water at 36.0 °C until the last drop of liquid disappears, leaving the flask filled with ether vapor. The flask is then removed from the water bath, and the weight of ether that condenses in the flask is measured. If 0.801 grams of ether collect in this experiment at a pressure of 104.3 KPa, what is the molecular weight of ether from the experiment? 1 molecule unknown substance = ________ amu
At the time of this flight, some flights were using metric units and other flights were using imperial units. 767 planes, like the one used on Air Canada Flight 143, were using the metric system. The pilot calculated that the flight would require 49,000 lbs of fuel. If there are 2.20 lb/kg, how many kg of fuel were required
The mass of a beaker is 8.342 grams. After 3.00 mL of an organic liquid is pipetted into the beaker, the combined mass of the beaker and the organic liquid is 10.697 grams. From the data, what is the measured density of the organic liquid ?
A farmer applies 1350.0 kg of a fertilizer that contains 10.0% nitrogen to his fields each year. Fifteen percent (15.0%) of the fertilizer washes into a river that runs through the farm.If the river flows at an average rate of 0.4902 cubic feet per second, what is the additional concentration of nitrogen (expressed in milligrams of nitrogen per liter) in the river water due to the farmer's fertilizer?
Every year in the United States, about 12 million tons of magnesium metal are used to manufacture the sacrificial anodes that prevent the corrosion of iron structures. The required magnesium can be obtained by processing seawater. Seawater has a density of 1.025 g/mL and one kilogram of seawater contains 1.4 g of magnesium. What volume of seawater, in cubic kilometers, would need to be processed to provide theU.S. with a one-year supply of magnesium? 1 ton = 2000 lbs. ...
Dust falls on Chicago at a rate of 65 mg m-2 day-1. Major metallic elements in the dust include aluminum, copper, lead, magnesium, manganese and zinc.
