Chapter 7, Problem 7.63P
Arsenic contamination of aquifers is a major health problem in much of the world and is particularly severe in Bangladesh. One method of removing the arsenic is to pump water from an aquifer to the surface and through a bed packed with granular material containing iron oxide. which binds the arsenic. The puri?ed water is then either used or allowed to seep back through the ground into the aquifer.
In an installation of the type just described, a pump draws 69.1 gallons per minute of contaminated water from an aquifer through a 3-inch ID pipe and then discharges the water through a 2-inch ID pipe to an open overhead tank ?lled with granular material. The water leaves the end of the discharge line 80 feet above the water in the aquifer. The friction losses in the piping system are 10ft(lbf/lbm.
(a) lf the pump is 70% ef?cient (i.e., 30% of the electrical energy delivered to the pump is not used in pumping the water), what is the required pump horsepower?
(b) Even if we assume that the iron oxide binds 100% of the arsenic, what other factors limit the effectiveness of this operation?

A sulfuric acid spill occurred on the highway after a truck containing barrels of sulfuric acid swerved out of control from a truck tire blowout. Luckily no one got hurt in the event but there is a concern that the sulfuric acid spill may affect local ground water supply.
A sample of the ground water in that area was recovered to assess the extent of contamination of the ground water supply. In order to determine the concentration of sulfuric acid in the sample, 25.00 mL of the ground water sample was titrated with 0.133 M NaOH and you get the following data:
Sodium hydroxide (initial buret reading)
0.66 mL
Sodium hydroxide (final buret reading)
17.42 mL
Calculate the molarity of sulfuric acid in the ground water sample.

Following the irrigation of salted soils, 10,000 L of salty irrigation runoff was filtered by a reverse osmosis (RO) treatment plant generating 7,000 L of pure water for return to a local river. Following RO treatment, the brine (left-over salt solution) concentration was 1.95 M NaCl. What was the hydrostatic pressure (atm) required by the RO plant to filter this volume of the salty irrigation runoff at a temperature of 20.0 oC?
25.0mL of a 0.515 M K2S solution is mixed with 30.0 mL of 0.833 M HNO3 acid solution to give the following reaction:
K2S(aq) + 2HNO3(aq) → 2KNO3(aq) + H2S(g)
H2S is an unwanted by-product in a pulp and paper industry. To capture H2S gas, it is bubbled through a NaOH solution to produce Na2S with a yield of 94%.
H2S(g) + 2NaOH (aq) → Na2S (aq) + 2H2O(l)
The mass of H2S(g) that was processed (in kg) if 10.76 kg of Na2S was collected is

It istherefore necessary to periodically determine the purity of the peroxide solutions.This can be done via a redox titration as follows: The density of a particular surgical grade hydrogen peroxide solution is 1.11g.cm-3. Exactly 10 mL of this solution was pipetted and quantitatively transferred, along with a sufficientamount of a dilute sulphuric acid solution, into a 250.00 mL volumetric flask and made up to the mark. A 25.00 mL portion of this diluted solution is pipetted into a conical flask, and titrated with a0.372 M KMnO4 solution.

- A concentration of toxic metals in plant tissue is often found by combusting the material in a furnace and then dissolving the ash in concentrated acid. A 0.5124-gram sample of leaves was combusted to ash and transferred to a 150-mL beaker. A 25-mL portion of concentrated HCl was added and the mixture was heated on a hot plate. Three 5-mL portions of concentration HCl were added over approximately 10 minutes with continued heating in between additions. The resulting mixture was cooled to room temperature and filtered into a 50-mL volumetric flask, which was brought to volume using distilled water and mixed well. From this stock solution, a 10-mL portion was pipetted into a clean 50-mL volumetric flask, brought to volume with distilled water, and mixed.

As the gas bubbles from the surface of the solution, the gas is trapped by a large test tube which was turned upside down and the end submerged below the level of the solution.

Nacl in solution diffuses into the egg through the eggshelI, then towards the egg whites and yolks. Eggs can be considered perfectly spherical in shape with the radius in R and the thickness of the eggshell is T. The concentration of NaCl in the soaking solution is Caci,o and its value can be considered constant during the immersion process. Before being included in soaking solution, there is no Nacl in egg whites and egg yolks. Diffusion through eggshell can be ignored because it occurs very quickly. If the diffusivity coefficient of Nacl in egg white and egg yolk can be considered equal (DNaci), a. Use the component continuity equation table, so that the equation that is describe the profile of Nacl concentration in eggs (in the form of a differential equation along with the boundary conditions). b.
