Chapter 5.11, Problem 5.24YT
- a. During the extraction of natural gas, the fracturing of shale is done hydraulically rather than with dynamite. What does the term hydraulic mean? Suggest reasons why dynamite wouldn’t work.
- b. How much water is typically injected in a well? What are the ingredients of the “cocktail” that this water contains? How difficult was this information to find? Provide an assessment of the likely reliability of your sources.
- c. Some of the water returns to the surface as waste water. What are some of the options for handling this waste water?

Adult oyster shells are composed mainly of calcite, CaCO3. It’s dissolution in water can be described as:
CaCO3 (s) ⇌ Ca 2+ + CO32-
The surface seawater around Hong Kong has concentrations of [CO32-] = 1 x 10-5 mol/kg and [Ca2+] = 0.01 mol/kg. Will oyster shells dissolve in the seawater?
Chlor-alkali plants electrolyze NaCl to produce the commodity chemicals caustic soda and chlorine gas. Industrial waste effluent released into waterways from these plants can contain trace amounts of mercury. Legally, the effluent can contain up to 2.50 x 10-9 mol/L of mercury. Determine the minimum volume of water, in megalitres (ML), that must be added to a 1.13 g sample of mercury to dilute the effluent to acceptable levels.(Do not show your work in the space provided; record only your final answer with the correct number of significant digits and the proper units.)

- In a laboratory experiment, a fermenting aqueous solution of glucose and yeast produces carbon dioxide gas and ethanol. The solution was heated by burning natural gas in a Bunsen burner to distill the ethanol that formed in the flask. During the distillation, the ethanol evaporated and then condensed in the receiving flask. The flame of the burner was kept too close to the bottom of the flask and some of the glucose decomposed into a black carbon deposit on the inside of the flask. During this experiment the following changes occurred. Which of these changes involved a physical change and not a chemical change? formation of a carbon deposit inside the flaskevaporation of ethanolformation of ethanol from glucose by yeastburning of natural gascondensation of ethanolformation of carbon dioxide gas from glucosearrow_forward1.
