The most common water disinfection method is chlorination. For a mid-sized water treatment plant, 28 lbs of chlorine (Cl2) are a

dded daily to disinfect 6 million gallons of water. a) What is the concentration of chlorine in water (in mg/L) when it is just dosed into water? b) Chlorine is a strong oxidizer and it is consumed by oxidizable substances in water, including microorganisms. The term chlorine demand refers to the amount of chlorine consumed during disinfection. The term chlorine residue is the concentration of chlorine remains after treatment. Chlorine residue ensures continued protection of water quality in the distribution system. If the water exiting the treatment plant has a chlorine residue of 0.2 mg/L, what is the chlorine demand (in mg/L)?

Answer:

(a) 8.0 mg/l

(b) 7.8 mg/l

Explanation:

(a) We can calculate the chlorine concentration as

C_{Cl2}=\frac{28lbs}{6,000,000gal}*\frac{453,592.37}{1lb}*\frac{3.78541l}{1gal}\\\\C_{Cl2}=8,0 mg/l

(b) In a steady system, the chlorine consumed is equal to the original chlorine concentration less the chlorine residue.

C_{consumed} = C_{0}-C_{residue}\\C_{consumed} = 8.0-0.2 = 7.8 mg/l\\

[04.02]What coefficients must be added to balance the following equation?
vesna_86 [32]
<span>Methink this is a neutralization reaction where an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water; but if we must balance the equation, we need to know what the product would be? So our base LiOH reacts with our acid Tetraoxosulphate (VI) H2SO4. The reaction produces salt and water as evidence. LiOH + H2SO4 gives Li2SO4 and H20. We need to make sure that the total atoms on the LHS and RHS balanced. So adding two moles of LiOH, we have 2LiOH + H2SO4 produces LiSO4 + H20. The eqn isn't balanced yet as there's 2 moles of deficit H2 atoms on the RHS, So our final reaction we have 2LiOH + H2SO4 gives Li2SO4 + 2H2O. Hence our answer is C</span>

Answer:

1 mole of C2H6.

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

2C2H6 + 7O2 —> 4CO2 + 6H2O

We can determine the number of mole of C2H6 that reacted to produce 2 moles of CO2 as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of C2H6 reacted to produce 4 moles of CO2.

Therefore, Xmol of C2H6 will react to produce 2 moles of CO2 i.e

Xmol of CO2 = (2 x 2)/4

Xmol of CO2 = 1 mole.

Therefore, 1 mole of C2H6 is required to produce 2 moles of CO2.
