Chapter 1, Problem 81IAE
The Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRO) chlorinates the water supply of the region at the rate of 1 ppm. that is, 1 kilogram of chlorine per million kilograms of water. The chlorine is introduced in the form of sodium hypochlorite, which is 47.62% chlorine. The population of theGVRD is 1.8 million persons. If each person uses 750 L of water per day, how many kilograms of sodium hypochlorite must be added to the water supply each week to produce the required chlorine level of 1 ppm?

The noble gas argon was discovered by Sir Walter Ramsay and John William Strutt in England in 1895. Through this discovery, they made highly accurate measurements of gas densities. Their experimentally determined densities are:
Oxygen 1.42952 g/L
Nitrogen 1.25718 g/L
Air 1.29327 g/L
1) To determine the density of atmospheric nitrogen, Strutt removed the oxygen, water, carbon dioxide, and argon from air and then filled an evacuated glass tube with the remaining gas. He determined that a mass of 0.20389 g of nitrogen has a density of 1.25718 g/L under standard conditions of temperature and pressure. What is the volume of the glass tube in cm3?
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. Lead accumulates at a rate of 0.029 mg m-2 day-1. How many metric tons (1 metric ton = 1000
kg, an exact equality) of lead fall on the 535 km2 of Chicago in one year?
The physical fitness of athletes is measured by “VO2 max,”which is the maximum volume of oxygen consumed by anindividual during incremental exercise (for example, on atreadmill). An average male has a VO2 max of 45 mL O2>kgbody mass/min, but a world-class male athlete can have a VO2max reading of 88.0 mL O2>kg body mass/min. (a) Calculatethe volume of oxygen, in mL, consumed in 1 hr by an averageman who weighs 185 lbs and has a VO2 max reading of 47.5mL O2>kg body mass/min. (b) If this man lost 20 lb, exercised,and increased his VO2 max to 65.0 mL O2>kg body mass/min,how many mL of oxygen would he consume in 1 hr?
