Chapter 3, Problem 3.16P
3.16. In April 2010, the worst oil spill ever recorded occurred when an explosion and tire on the Deepwater
Horizon offshore oil-drilling rig left 11 workers dead and began releasing oil into the Gulf of Mexico. One of the attempts to contain the spill involved pumping drilling mud into the well to balance the pressure of escaping oil against a column of fluid (the mud) having a density significantly higher than those of seawater and oil. In the following problems, you may assume that seawater has a specific gravity of 1.03 and that the subsea wellhead was 5053 ft below the surface of the Gulf.
- Estimate the gauge pressure (psig) in the Gulf at a depth of 5053 ft.
- Measurements indicate that the pressure inside the wellhead is 4400 psig. Suppose a pipe between the surface of the Gulf and the wellhead is filled with drilling mud and balances that pressure. Estimate the specific gravity of the drilling mud.
- The drilling mud is a stable slurry of seawater and barite (SG = 4.37). What is the mass fraction of barite in the slurry?
- What would you expect to happen if the barite weight fraction were significantly less than that estimated in Part (c)? Explain your reasoning.

Soil vapor extraction (SVE) is used to remove volatile or-ganic pollutants, such as chlorinated solvents, from soil at haz-ardous waste sites. Vent wells are drilled, and a vacuum pump is applied to the subsurface. (a) How does this remove pollutants?(b) Why does heating combined with SVE speed the process?
Sulfur dioxide emissions from coal-based power plants areremoved by flue-gas desulfurization.The flue gas passes through a scrubber, and a slurry of wet calcium carbonate reacts with it toform carbon dioxide and calcium sulfite. The calcium sulfite then reacts with oxygen to form calcium sulfate, which is sold as gypsum. (a) If the sulfur dioxide concentration is 1000 times higher than its mole fraction in clean dry air (21010), how much calcium sulfate (kg) can be made from scrubbing 4 GL of flue gas (1 GL1X10^9L)? A state-of-the-art scrubber removes at least 95% of the sulfur dioxide. (b) If the mole fraction of oxy-gen in air is 0.209, what volume (L) of air at 1.00 atm and 25°C is needed to react with all the calcium sulfite?

The beam is pivoted, and the balance point is attained by raising the pressure of gas in the container, so increasing the buoyancy of the enclosed bulb. In one experiment, the balance point was reached when the fluorocarbon pressure was 327.10Torr; for the same setting of the pivot, a balance was reached when CHF3 (M = 70.014 g mol−1) was introduced at 423.22 Torr. A repeat of the experiment with a di erent setting of the pivot required a pressure of 293.22 Torr of the uorocarbon and 427.22 Torr of the CHF3. What is the molar mass of the fluorocarbon?
