The indicator-dilution method is a technique used to determine flow rates of fluids in channels for which devices like rotameters and orifice meters cannot be used (e.g., rivers, blood vessels, and large- diameter pipelines). A stream of an easily measured substance (the tracer ) is injected into the channel at a known rate, and the tracer concentration is measured at a point far enough downstream of the injection point for the tracer to be completely mixed with the flowing fluid. The larger the flow rate of the fluid, the lower the tracer concentration at the measurement point.
A gas stream that contains 1.50 mole% CO2 flows through a pipeline. Twenty (20.0) kilograms of CO2 per minute is injected into the line. A sample of the gas is drawn from a point in the fine 150 meters downstream of the injection point and found to contain 2.3 mole% CO2.
- Estimate the gas flow' rate (kmol/min) upstream of the injection point.

- Here is a use objective for a chemical analysis to be performed at a drinking water purification plant: “Data and results collected quarterly shall be used to determine whether the concentrations of haloacetates in the treated water demonstrate compliance with the levels set by the Stage 1 Disinfection By-products Rule using Method 552.2” (a specification that sets precision, accuracy, and other requirements). Which one of the following questions best summarizes the meaning of the use objective?(i) Are haloacetate concentrations known within specified precision and accuracy?(ii) Are any haloacetates detectable in the water?(iii) Do any haloacetate concentrations exceed the regulatory limit?arrow_forwardWe want to determine the purity of alum sample bought in a local pharmacy in Miagao. A Chem 28 student determined the purity gravimetrically of a sample of alum, K2SO4:Al2(SO4)3:24H20. A 1.5879-g sample was dissolved and the aluminum precipitated as Al(OH)3. The precipitate was collected by filtration, washed, and ignited to give a product Al203 weighing 0.1572 g. Show your calculation to determine the purity of the alum sample.arrow_forwardThe standard addition method is used to analyze a sample of a river water for mercury. Solution A is made by pipetting 5.00 mL of undiluted sample in to a 10 mL volumetric flask and filling to the mark with D water.

- The researcher extracts a sample of well water and prepares it for TXRF analysis with a 10.00 mg/L V internal standard, like the calibration standards.

Aluminum sulfate can be made by the following reaction: 2AlCl3(aq)+3 H2SO4(aq)➡Al(SO4)3(aq)+6HCl(aq). It is quit soluble in water, so to isolate it the solution has to be evaporated to dryness. This drives off the volatile HCl, but the residual solid has to be heated to a little over 200 celsius to drive off the water. In one experiment, 25.0 g of AlCl3 were mixed with 30.0 g of H2SO4. Eventually, 28.46 g of pure Al2(SO4)3 were isolated. Calculate the percentage yield. 2. The potassium salt of benzoic acid, potassium benzoate (KC7H5O2), can be made by the action of potassium permanganate on toluene (C7H8) as follows: C7H8+ KMnO4➡ KC7H5O2+ 2MnO2+ KOH+ H2O. If the yield of potassium benzoate cannot realistically be expected to be more tha 71%, what is the minimum number of grams of toluene needed to achieve this yield while producing 11.5g of potassium benzoate? 3.
