Sea water containing 4 wt.% salt (NaCl) is passed through a reverse osmosis (RO) membrane filtration unit to produce a "fresh" water product containing 0.5 wt.% NaCl and a concentrated brine waste stream. If there are 28 kg of fresh water recovered from every 100 kg of sea water, then determine the concentration of the brine waste stream. Type your answer in as a weight percentage rounded off to one decimal place, but do not include the 6 symbol.

A mixture of methane and air is capable of being ignited only if the mole percent of methane is between 5% and 15%. A mixture containing 9.0 mole% methane in air flowing at a rate of 7:00 x 102 kg/h is to be diluted with pure air to reduce the methane concentration to the lower flammability limit. Calculate the required flow rate of air in mol/h and the percent by mass of oxygen in the product gas. (Note: Air may be taken to consist of 21 mole% O2 and 79% N2 and to have an average molecular weight of 29.0.)
Two tanks are connected by a series of pipes as shown below. Tank 1 initially contains 150 grams of salt dissolved in 20 liters of water, while tank 2 contains 50 grams of salt dissolved in 10 liters of water. Beginning at time t = 0, pure water is pumped into tank 1 at a volumetric flow rate of 3 liters per minute. This causes brine to flow between the tanks, and to flow out of both tanks at the volumetric flow rates shown in the Fig. 2. Determine the salt concentration in each tank (C, and C2) at any time t>0.

A brine solution of salt flows at a constant rate of 4 L/min into a large tank that initially held 5 L of pure water. The solution inside the tank is kept well stirred and flows out of the tank at a rate of 2 L/min.

A binary mixture with components A and B is to be separated in a distillation column to obtain 95 mol%. A as the top product. The binary mixture has a con stant relative volatility AB = 2. The column feed is a a - saturated liquid containing 50 mol % of A.

A 100-gal tank initially contains pure water. A solution of dye containing 0.3 lb/gal flows into the tank at the rate of 5 gal/min and the resulting mixture flows out at the same rate. After 15 min. the process is stopped and fresh water flows into the tank at the rate of 5 gpm and the mixture flows out at the same rate. Find the concentration of dye in the tank at the end of 30 min.
An environmental study was performed to measure the transport of a DDT (a banned pesticide) throughout the globe. A lake in northern Canada was sampled to see if low levels of DDT were present there in spite of it not being administered within 1000 miles of that location. 1.000 L of the lake water was spiked with 100.0 uL of a 2.451 ug/L solution of tetrachlorobenzene, which acted as the internal standard. The entire 1.000 L spiked solution was concentrated onto an SPE column. After washing the SPE column with ~5 mL of pure water, the analyte and internal standard were eluted from the SPE column using ~5 mL of CH2Cl2 solvent. The eluted sample was evaporated under a stream of nitrogen to a final volume of 1.000 mL. 1 uL of this final solution was analyzed using GC-MS, and gave a signal of 24835 for DDT and 11597 for tetrachlorobenzene. To calculate the response factor, a standard solution was prepared consisting of 1.482 ug/L of DDT and 2.451 ug/L of tetrachlorobenzene.…
