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

Which element has the same number of valence electrons as calcium?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

Barium has the same number of valence electrons as calcium

Explanation:

Valence electrons is the number of electrons of an atom on the outer shell.

Those valence electrons can participate in the formation of a chemical bond (if the outer shell is not closed); in a single covalent bond, both atoms in the bond contribute one valence electron in order to form a shared pair.

<u>Calcium</u> is an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons.

<u>Sulfur </u>is part of a group 16, called the chalcogens or oxygen family. Those atoms have 6 valence electrons. They can form a bound with atoms of group 2 such as calcium, but do not have the same number of valence electrons.

<u>Potassium</u> is part of group 1, called the alkali metals or lithium family. Those atoms have 1 valence electrons. That means  Potassium do not have the same number of valence electrons like calcium.

<u>Neon</u> is part of group 18, the noble gasses. Those are stable atoms, which means they have 8 valence electrons. They do not have the same number of valence electrons like Calcium.

<u>Barium</u> an atom, part of group 2, called the alkaline earth metals. The alkaline earth metals have 2 valence electrons. Calcium is also part of this group.

This means barium has the same number of valence electrons as Calcium.
