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

Answer:

1. 9.4 grams of methane produce<u> 25.85</u> grams of CO2

2.Grams of water produced = <u>11.81 grams</u>

3.Mass of Methane produced by 10.1 gram of O2 = <u>2.52 grams</u>

4.Amount of methane consumed = <u>46.9 grams</u>

5. Grams of Co2 produced =<u> 8.32 grams</u>

<u></u>

Explanation:

Molar masses :

Methane = CH4 = mass of C + 4x (mass of H)

CH4 = 12 +4(1) = 16 grams

<u>1 mole of CH4 = 16 gram</u>

Oxygen O2 = 2 x (mass of O) = 2x(16) = 32 gram (1 mole of O2 =32 gram)

Carbon Dioxide =CO2 = mass of C + 2(mass of O)

= 12 + 2(16)

= 44 grams <u>(1 mole of CO2 = 44 gram )</u>

Water = H2O = 18 grams ( 1 mole of H2O = 18 gram)

1 mole of each molecule is equal to their molar masses

The balanced equation is :

$1CH_{4}(g)+2O_{2}\rightarrow 1CO_{2}+2H_{2}O(l)$

According to Stoichiometry :

1 mole of CH4 = 2 Mole of O2 = 1 mole of CO2 = 2 mole of H2O

1. From the equation ,

1 mole of methane produce =1 mole of CO2

16 gram of methane = 44 gram of CO2

1 gram of methane =

$\frac{44}{16}$ gram of CO2

9.4 gram of CH4 =

$\frac{44}{16}\times 9.4$ gram of CO2

= 25 .85 gram of CO2

2.

2 mole of O2 produces = 2 mole of H2O(water)

1 mole of O2 produces = 1 mole of H2O

32 gram of O2 = 18 gram of water

1 gram of O2 =

$\frac{18}{32}$

21 gram of O2 =

$\frac{18}{32}\times 21$

11.81 gram of water

3. 1 mole of CH4 = 2 mole of O2

16 gram of CH4 = 2(32) = 64 grams of O2

64 gram of O2 needs = 16 grams of CH4

1 gram of O2 needs =

$\frac{16}{64}$

10.1 gram of O =

$\frac{16}{64}\times 10.1$ of CH4

= 2.52 gram

4.

1 mole of CO2 is produced from = 1 mole of CH4

44 gram of CO2 is produced from 16 gram of CH4

1 gram CO2 =

$\frac{16}{44}$ gram of CH4

129 gram of CO2 =

$\frac{16}{44}\times 129$ gram of CH4

= 46.90 grams

5.

2 mole of O2 produce = 1 mole of CO2

2x 32 gram of O2 = 44 gram of CO2

1 gram of O2 =

$\frac{44}{64}$ of CO2

12.1 gram of O2 produce=

$\frac{44}{64}\times 12.1$ of CO2

= 8.318 gram

write the substance asked on right side of "="

Which element decreases its oxidation number in this reaction? bicl2 + na2so4 → 2nacl + biso4?

kifflom [539]

The balanced reaction is as follows;
BiCl₂ + Na₂SO₄ --> 2NaCl + BiSO₄
this is a double displacement reaction
the oxidation number of Bi is +2 in both BiCl₂ and BiSO₄
oxidation number of Cl is -1 in both BiCl₂ and NaCl
oxidation number of Na is +1 in both Na₂SO₄ and NaCl
oxidation numbers of elements in SO₄²⁻ remains the same in both compounds.Therefore the oxidation state in any of the elements in the reaction doesn't change. Neither of the elements show an increase or decrease in the oxidation numbers .
Answer for this question is no element decreases its oxidation number.

29. What is E for a system which has the following two steps:

jasenka [17]

Answer:

Zero

Explanation:

Recall that;

E = q + w

Where;

q = heat, w = work done

When heat is absorbed by the system q is positive

When heat is evolved by the system q is negative

When the system does work, w is negative

When work is done on the system w is positive

Step 1

ΔE1= 60 KJ + 40 KJ = 100KJ

Step 2

ΔE2= (-30 KJ) + (-70 KJ) = (-100) KJ

ΔE1 + ΔE2= 100KJ + (-100) KJ = 0KJ
