A city in Laguna generates 0.96 kg per capita per day of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Makati City in Metro Manila generates 1.9

kg per capita per day of MSW. If both cities have population of 20000 inhabitants, determine the following
i. amount of MSW generated in each city
ii. number of trucks needed to collect the MSW twice weekly, if each truck has a
capacity of 4.4 tons and operates 5 days per week. Two loads per day at 75%
capacity is the travel quota per day
iii. -the number and volume of MSW in tons that enter the landfill

Answer:

i) amount of MSW generated:

Laguna: 19200 Kg/day

Makati: 38000 Kg/day

ii) number of trucks to collect twice weekly:

Laguna: 3 trucks

Makati: 5 trucks

iii) volume of MSW in tons that enter landfill/week:

Laguna: 147.84 ton/week

Makati: 292 ton/week

Explanation:

i) Laguna: 0.96 Kg person / day of MSW * 20000 = 19200 Kg MSW / day

⇒ Laguna: 19200 Kg/day * ( 7day/ week ) = 134400 Kg/week

Makati: 1.9 Kg person / day of MSW * 20000 = 38000 Kg MSW / day

⇒ Makati: 38000 Kg/day * ( 7day/week ) = 266000 Kg/week

ii)  truck capacity = 4.4 ton * ( Kg / 0.0011 ton ) = 4000 Kg

⇒ quote/day = 4000 Kg * 0.75 = 3000 Kg

⇒ loads/day = 2 * 3000 kg = 6000 Kg

⇒ operate/week = 5 * 6000 Kg = 30000 Kg

∴ Laguna:  number of trucks needed/week= 134400 / 30000  = 4.48 ≅ 5 trucks

⇒ number of trucks to collect twice weekly = 5 / 2 = 2.5 ≅ 3 trucks

∴ Makati : number of trucks needed/week = 266000 / 30000 = 8.86 ≅ 9 trucks

⇒ number of trucks to collect twice weekly = 9 / 2 = 4.5 ≅ 5 trucks  

iii) enter landfill/week:

Laguna: 134400Kg MSW/week * ( 0.0011 ton/Kg ) = 147.84 ton/week

Makati: 266000Kg MSW/week * ( 0.0011 ton/Kg ) = 292 ton/week

You determine that a sample of a compound contains 1. 4 mol c and 2. 1 mol h. What is the empirical formula for this compound?.
vlada-n [284]

The empirical formula of the compound is C4H1.

An empirical formula represents the whole number ratio of various atoms present in a compound.

If the mass percent of various elements present in a compound is known, its empirical formula can be determined

We are given that a compound contains 4 mole C and 1 mole H.

Hence, the ratio of C: H is 4:1, which is already in the form of the simplest whole number.

Therefore, the empirical formula of the given compound is C4H1 and its molecular mass is 12 x 4 + 1 = 49.

Two samples of a compound containing elements a and b are decomposed. the first sample produces 15 g of a and 35 g of
Alborosie

According to law of definite proportion, for a compound, elements always combine in fixed ratio by mass.

The formula of compound remains the same, let it be a_{x}b_{y} where, a and b are two different elements.

Since, the ratio of mass remains the same , calculate the ratio of masses of element a and b in both cases

\frac{a}{b}=\frac{15}{35}=\frac{10}{y}

rearranging,

y=\frac{10\times 35}{15}=23.3

Thus, mass of b produced will be 23.3 g.
