Atrazine is an herbicide widely used for corn and is a common groundwater pollutant in the corn-producing regions of the United

States. Use EPIWIN to find Koc for atrazine. Calculate the fraction of total atrazine that will be adsorbed to the soil given that the soil has an organic carbon content of 2.5%. The bulk density of the soil is 1.25 g/cm3 ; this means that each cubic centimeter of soil (soil plus water) contains 1.25 g of soil particles. The porosity of the soil is 0.4.

Answer:

0.94

Explanation:

Let's assume that the total sample of the soil is 1 cm³; which has a porosity of 0.4 cm³; then the original sample of the soil will be 0.6 cm³

The mass  of the soil particles in 1 cm³ of soil + water = 0.75 g

The fraction of the total atrazine can be calculated by the expression;

Total atrazine =C_w(\frac{g}{mL})*V_w(mL)+C_{(soil)}(\frac{g}{soil})*M_{(soil)}(gsoil)

Also; C_{(soil)}(\frac{g}{soil})= K_{oc}(\frac{mL}{gOC})*f_{oc} (\frac{gOC}{gsoil})*C_w(\frac{g}{mL})

NOTE THAT: K_{oc}( \frac{mL}{gOC})=K_{oc}\frac{L}{kgOC}

Total atrazine can now be calculated as:

C_w*0.4+K_{oc}f_{oc}C_w*0.75 = \frac{C_{soil}*M_{soil}}{Total atrazine}

=\frac{K_{oc}f_{oc}C_w*M_{soil}}{C_w*0.4+K_{oc}f_{oc}C_w*0.75} = \frac{0.75*K_{oc}f_{oc}}{0.4+K_{oc}f_{oc}*0.75}

= \frac{10^{2.52}*0.025*0.75}{0.4+10^{2.52}*0.025*0.75}

= 0.94

Thus,the fraction of total atrazine that will be adsorbed to the soil = 0.94.

When you apply 1000 joules of energy to 50 grams of water its temperature changes to 30 degrees . What was the initial temperatu
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

25.2°C

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Energy applied to the water  = 1000J

Mass of water  = 50g

Final temperature  = 30°C

Unknown:

Initial temperature  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use the expression below:

            H  = m c Ф

H is the energy absorbed

m is the mass

c is the specific heat capacity

Ф is the change in temperature

     1000  = 50 x 4.184 x (30  -  initial temperature )

     1000  = 209.2(30 - initial temperature)

      4.78  = 30 - initial temperature

      4.78  - 30  = - initial temperature

         Initial temperature  = 25.2°C

what would you observe if you used a ballpoint pen instead of a pencil to mark the chromatography paper?
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

It basically messes up the results

Explanation:

Pen ink consists of resins, pigments and other colouring dyes dissolved in appropriate solvents like propylene glycol, propyl alcohol and some other ethers. If the ball point pen is used to mark on the chromatography paper then these pigments will also move along with the solvent and interfere with the spots of our analyte.

If you use a ball point pen when doing a chromatogram, then the ink would separate as it is a mixture and run down the paper.

Graphite, or pencil lead however, is not an organic material and therefore will not be affected by common organic solvents used for thin-layer chromatography. Pen ink on the other hand will be readily absorbed by the solvent and will move up the plate.
