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?

You are wanting to apply a soil conditioner to your garden. 10mL of conditioner cover 3m^(2) of your garden. However, before you use it you must dilute the concentrate by placing 10ml of Seasol in a 9L bucket. How many litres of the diluted mixture do you need to cover a garden of 80m^(2).
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?
The principal reaction in a series of complex reactions performed by microorganisms involved in wine making is the conversion of sugars into alcohol in a process known as fermentation. The starting concentration of sugars determines the final alcohol content and the sweetness of the wine. Adjusting the specific gravity of the stock solution achieves the desired quality of the wine. Assuming the sugars in the stock solution with a specific gravity of 1.075 are all C12H22011 equivalent to 12.75% wt., calculate the following:a) How much is the amount of sugar per kg of water?b) How many lbs of solution is present in a cubic feet of solution?c) What is the weight of sugar in grams for every liter of solution?
Wet sugar that contains one-fifth water by mass is conveyed through an evaporator in which 85.0%of the entering water is vaporized. Taking a basis of 100 kg feed, calculate (i) , the mass fraction ofwater in the wet sugar leaving the evaporator, and (ii) the ratio (kg H2O vaporized/kg wet sugarleaving the evaporator).
A spent 1.0 percent caustic soda solution (ρNaOH = 8.42 lb/gal) with a volumetric flow rate of 3.0gpm is to be neutralized using either sulfuric acid or hydrochloric acid. First, determine the massflow rate (lb/day) of NaOH in the spent caustic soda solution, and then use that value todetermine the stoichiometric amounts (lb/day) of:1. H2SO4 required for neutralizing the OH− ions contributed by the spent caustic soda.[Hints: (1) write the balanced chemical equation for the acid-base reaction betweenNaOH and H2SO4, and use it to establish the stoichiometric weight ratio H2SO4 : NaOH.]2.

Boyle’s law for confined gases states that if the temperature is constant, pv = c, where p ispressure, v is volume, and c is a constant. At a certain instant the volume is 75 cubic inches, thepressure is 30 psi, and the pressure is decreasing at the rate of 2 psi every minute. What is therate of change of the volume at that instant?

L-Serine is an amino acid important for its roles in synthesizing other amino acids and for its use in intravenous feeding solutions. It is often synthesized commercially by fermentation, and recovered by subjecting the fermentation broth to several processing steps and then crystallizing the serine from an aqueous solution. The solubilities of L-serine (L-Ser) in water have been measured at several temperatures, producing the following data:5T(K) 283.4 285.9 289.3 299.1 316.0 317.8 322.9 327.1x(mole fraction L-Ser) 0.0400 0.0426 0.0523 0.0702 0.1091 0.1144 0.1181 0.1248One of the ways such data can be represented is with the van’t Hoff equation: ln x =( a=T b).Graph the data so that the resulting plot is linear. Estimate a and b and give their units.

The label has come off a cylinder of gas in your laboratory. You know only that one species of gas is contained in the cylinder, but you do not know whether it is hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen. To find out, you evacuate a 5-liter flask, seal it and weigh it, then let gas from the cylinder flow into it until the gauge pressure equals 1.00 atm. The flask is reweighed, and the mass of the added gas is found to be 13.0 g. Room temperature is 27°C, and barometric pressure is 1.00 atm. What is the gas?
