The Urbana wastewater treatment plant discharge permit limits the discharge of ammonia/ammonium (NH3/NH4 ). To meet this permit,

the ammonium is converted to nitrate (NO3 - ) by biological nitrification in trickling filter towers. The solution entering the nitrification towers contains 15 mg/L of NH4 as N. Write a balanced reaction for the oxidation of NH4 to nitrate,

Answer:

Explanation:

The conversion of ammonium ion  into nitrate ion is a two step process which is written below .

2 NH₄⁺ + 3 O₂ =  2NO₂⁻ + 4 H⁺ + 2H₂O

2NO₂⁻ + O₂ = 2 NO₃⁻

This is a two step reaction . These steps are managed by different class of bacteria.

4. a compound called pyrene has the empirical formula c8h5. when 4.04 g of pyrene is dissolved in 10.00 g of benzene, the boilin
e-lub [12.9K]

The molecular mass of pyrene is 204.4 g/mol.

From;

ΔT = Kb m i

Where;

  • ΔT = boiling point elevation
  • Kb = boiling point constant
  • m = molality
  • i = Van't Hoff factor

Since the compound is molecular; i = 1

The number of moles of pyrene = 4.04 g/MM

Where; MM = molar mass of pyrene

molality = number of moles of pyrene/mass of solvent in Kg

The mass of solvent = 10 g or 0.01 Kg

molality =  4.04 g/MM/0.01

ΔT = Boiling point of solution - Boiling point of pure solvent

ΔT = 85.1°C - 80.1°C

ΔT = 5°C

5 = 2.53 × 4.04 g/MM/0.01 × 1

5 = 10.22 × 1/0.01 MM

0.05MM = 10.22

MM= 10.22/0.05

MM= 204.4 g/mol

The CDC recommends that levels of lead in adults be no greater than 40 ug per dL of blood. At that level a) how many grams of le
irakobra [83]
There are ten dL in one litre, so an ideal amount of lead in a litre of blood would be no greater than 400 micrograms (ug)

There's 1000mL in a litre, so we're looking at 0.4ug of lead or less in a millilitre. 1mol of lead atoms weighs about 207.2g, therefore there's about 2.907 × 10^21 atoms per gram, or about 1.163×10^14 atoms in 0.04ug. Therefore there should be no more than 1.2×10^14 atoms of lead per millilitre.

On what is the geologic time scale based?
nekit [7.7K]

Answer: Either A or D

Geologists and paleontologists constructed the geologic table based on the relative positions of different strata and fossils, and estimated the time scales based on studying rates of various kinds of weathering, erosion, sedimentation, and lithification.
