When drinking water is disinfected with chlorine, an undesired byproduct, chloroform (CHCl3), may form. Suppose a 70-kg person drinks 2 L of water every day for 70 years with a chloroform concentration of 0.08 mg/L (the drinking water standard). Potency factor for chloroform = 6.1 x 10-3 (mg/kg-day)-1 The upper-bound cancer risk for this individual. a. 0.545 b. 5.45x10-6 c. 5.45x10-4 d. 5.45x10-10 e. 14x10-6

Determine the Chlorine dosage and Chlorine demand for a water treatment plant which uses 50.5 Kg/day of Chlorine to treat 42,500 m3/day of water. Residualchlorine after 30 minutes contact time is 0.56 mg/L?
A person smokes one cigarette in 60 seconds in a waiting room. The concentration of smoke particles in the inhaled smoke is 1015 particles/m3. The smoke particles have a diameter of 0.2 um and density of 0.8 g/ml. If the smoker breathes in air at a rate of 5 L /min, what is the inhalation rate smoke particle in mg/s during the time they are smoking?
A water treatment plant with an average flow of Q = 0.5 m3/s treats its water with alum at a dose of 34 mg/L. Alum (Al2(SO4)3. 14.3 H2O)coagulation is used to remove particulate matter, reduce the concentration of organic matter, and reduce the alkalinity of the water. Determine the total mass of alkalinity (HCO3-) consumed per day (kg/d, no decimal point) (atomic mass: Al: 27, S: 32, H: 1, O: 16, C: 12)
Assume an adult male who weighs 50 kg drinks 2L of water every day and the absorption factor the chemical of concern is 75 percent (so 25 percent of the chemical secreted). The concentration of the chemical in the drinking water is 55 ppb? Determine the does in mg/kg-day.
Suppose that sodium pentobarbital is used to anesthetize a dog. The dog is anesthetized when its bloodstream contains at least 45 milligrams (mg) of sodium pentobarbital per kilogram of the dog’s body weight. Suppose also that sodium pentobarbital (with a half-life of 5 h) is eliminated exponentially from the dog’s bloodstream. What single dose should be administered in order to anesthetize a 50-kg for 1 h?
A water treatment plant with an average flow of Q = 0.8 m3/s treats its water with alum at a dose of 27 mg/L. Alum (Al2(SO4)3. 14.3 H2O) coagulation is used to remove particulate matter, reduce the concentration of organic matter, and reduce the alkalinity of the water. Determine the total mass of aluminum hydroxide (Al(OH)3) consumed per day (kg/d, no decimal point) (atomic mass: Al: 27, S: 32, H: 1, O: 16).
A tank contains 49 gallons of a solution composed of 85% water and 15% alcohol. A second solution containing half water and half alcohol is added to the tank at the rate of 4 gallons per minutes. At the same time, the tank is being drained at the same rate. Assuming that the solution is stirred constantly, how much alcohol will be in tank after 10minutes?

A tank with a capacity of 4000 L is full of a mixture of water and chlorine with a concentration of 0.005 g of chlorine per liter. In order to reduce the concentration of chlorine, freshwater is pumped into the tank at a rate of 40 L/s. The mixture is kept stirred and is pumped out at a rate of 100 L/s. Find the amount of chlorine in the tank as a function of time. (Let y be the amount of chlorine in grams and t be the time in seconds.)
