(a) Determine the dose (in mg/kg-day) for a bioaccumulative chemical with BCF = 103 that is found in water at a concentration of

0.1 mg/L. Calculate your dose for a 50 kg adult female who drinks 2 L lake water per day and consumes 30 g fish per day that is caught from the lake. Ans. 0.064 mg/kg-d (b) What percent of the total dose is from exposure to the water, and what percent is from exposure to the fish?

Answer:

0.064 mg/kg/day

6.25% from water, 93.75% from fish

Explanation:

Density of water is 1 kg/L, so the concentration of the chemical in the water is 0.1 mg/kg.

The BCF = 10³, so the concentration of the chemical in the fish is:

10³ = x / (0.1 mg/kg)

x = 100 mg/kg

For 2 L of water and 30 g of fish:

2 kg × 0.1 mg/kg = 0.2 mg

0.030 kg × 100 mg/kg = 3 mg

The total daily intake is 3.2 mg.  Divided by the woman's mass of 50 kg, the dosage is:

(3.2 mg/day) / (50 kg) = 0.064 mg/kg/day

b) The percent from the water is:

0.2 mg / 3.2 mg = 6.25%

And the percent from the fish is:

3 mg / 3.2 mg = 93.75%

A rigid tank contains 1 kg of oxygen (O2) at p1 = 35 bar, T1 = 180 K. The gas is cooled until the temperature drops to 150 K. De
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

a. Volume = 13.36 x 10^-3 m³ Pressure = 29.17 bar  b. Volume = 14.06 x 10^-3 m³ Pressure = 22.5 bar

Explanation:

Mass of O₂ = 1kg, Pressure (P1) = 35bar, T1= 180K, T2= 150k Molecular weight of O₂ = 32kg/Kmol

Volume of tank and final pressure using a)Ideal Gas Equation and b) Redlich - Kwong Equation

a. PV=mRT

V = {1 x (8314/32) x 180}/(35 x 10⁵) = 13.36 x 10^-3

Since it is a rigid tank the volume of the tank must remain constant and hnece we can say

T2/T1 = P2/P1, solving for P2

P2 = (150/180) x 35 = 29.17bar

b. P1 = {RT1/(v1-b)} - {a/v1(v1+b)(√T1)}

where R, a and b are constants with the values of, R = 0.08314bar.m³/kmol.K, a = 17.22(m³/kmol)√k, b = 0.02197m³/kmol

solving for v1

35 = {(0.08314 x 180)/(v1 - 0.02197)} - {17.22/(v1)(v1 + 0.02197)(√180)}

35 = {14.96542/(v1-0.02197)} - {1.2835/v1(v1 + 0.02197)}

Using Trial method to find v1

for v1 = 0.5

Right hand side becomes =  {14.96542/(0.5-0.02197)} - {1.2835/0.5(0.5 + 0.02197)} = 31.30 ≠ Left hand side

for v1 = 0.4

Right hand side becomes =  {14.96542/(0.4-0.02197)} - {1.2835/0.4(0.4 + 0.02197)} = 39.58 ≠ Left hand side

for v1 = 0.45

Right hand side becomes =  {14.96542/(0.45-0.02197)} - {1.2835/0.45(0.45 + 0.02197)} = 34.96 ≅ 35

Specific Volume = 35 m³/kmol

V = m x Vspecific/M = (1 x 0.45)/32 = 14.06 x 10^-3 m³

For Pressure P2, we know that v2= v1

P2 = {RT2/(v2-b)} - {a/v2(v2+b)(√T2)} = {(0.08314 x 150)/(0.45 - 0.02197)} - {17.22/(0.45)(0.45 + 0.02197)(√150)} = 22.5 bar
