Nitrate is a common contaminant coming from run off from fertilizer use, leaking from septic tanks and sewage; and erosion of na

tural deposits. The maximum contaminant level (MCL) of nitrate (measured as Nitrogen) is 10.0mg/L in drinking water. Express this MCLin terms of (a) ppm, (b) ppb, and (c) moles/m3.

Answer:

A. 10 ppm

B. 10000 ppb

C. 0.714 mol/m3

Explanation:

A.

Parts Per Million is defined as 1 milligram mass of solute per 1 liter of solvent.

Nitrate concentration (as Nitrogen) = 10 mg/L

In ppm,

10 ppm.

B.

Converting Parts Per Million (ppm) to Parts Per Billion (ppb),

1 ppm is equal to 1000 ppb.

10 ppm = (1000*10) ppb

= 10000 ppb

C.

Molar mass of nitrogen = 14 g/mol

Molar concentration = mass concentration/molar mass

Mass concentration in g/m3,

1 liter = 0.001 m3

= 10 mg/l * 1l/0.001 m3

= 10000 mg/m3

mg to g,

1000 mg = 1 g

= 10000 mg/m3 * 1g/1000mg

= 10 g/m3

Molar concentration = 10/14

= 0.714 mol/m3

1. Zinc reacts with steam according to the equation:
kvasek [131]

Answer:

1) mass ZnO = 55.155 g

2) V SO2(g) = 18.289 L

Explanation:

1) Zn + H2O  → ZnO + H2

∴ mass Zn = 41.6 g

∴ mm Zn = 65.38 g/mol

⇒ mol Zn = (41.6 g)(mol/61.38 g) = 0.678 mol Zn

⇒ mol ZnO = (0.678 mol Zn)(mol ZnO/mol Zn) = 0.678 mol ZnO

∴ mm ZnO = 81.38 g/mol

⇒ mass ZnO = (0.678 mol ZnO)(81.38 g/mol) = 55.155 g ZnO

2) S(s)  + O2(g)  →  SO2(g)

∴ mass S(s) = 24 g

∴ T = 25°C ≅ 298 K

∴ P = 1 atm

∴ mm S(s) = 32.065 g/mol

⇒ mol S(s) = (24 g)(mol/32.065 g) = 0.7485 mol S(s)

⇒ mol SO2(g) = (0.7485 mol S(s))(mol SO2(g)/mol S(s)) = 0.7485 mol SO2(g)

ideal gas:

  • PV = RTn

⇒ V SO2(g) = ((0.082 atm.L/K.mol)(298 K)(0.7485 mol))/(1 atm)

⇒ V SO2(g) = 18.289 L SO2(g)

zysi [14]

Answer:

Comprehensive

Explanation:

In the given problem, it was stated that each team member has a great deal of discretion in terms of their overall performance, throughput, and with whom they can interact with in the course of their civic duties while collaborating to accomplish the team work. Therefore, this type of independence is comprehensive independence which is in contrast to other types of independence such as reciprocal, virtual, and sequential. The correct answer to the given problem is <u>comprehensive</u> independence.
