Five million gallons per day (MGD) of wastewater, with a concentration of 10.0 mg/L of a conservative pollutant, is released int
hjlf

Answer:

a) The concentration in ppm (mg/L) is 5.3 downstream the release point.

b) Per day pass 137.6 pounds of pollutant.  

Explanation:

The first step is to convert Million Gallons per Day (MGD) to Liters per day (L/d). In that sense, it is possible to calculate with data given previously in the problem.  

Million Gallons per day 1 MGD = 3785411.8 litre/day = 3785411.8 L/d

F_1 = 5 MGD (\frac{3785411.8 L/d}{1MGD} ) = 18927059 L/d\\F_2 =10 MGD (\frac{3785411.8 L/d}{1MGD} )= 37854118 L/d

We have one flow of wastewater released into a stream.  

First flow is F1 =5 MGD with a concentration of C1 =10.0 mg/L.

Second flow is F2 =10 MGD with a concentration of C2 =3.0 mg/L.  

After both of them are mixed, the final concentration will be between 3.0 and 10.0 mg/L. To calculate the final concentration, we can calculate the mass of pollutant in total, adding first and Second flow pollutant, and dividing in total flow. Total flow is the sum of first and second flow. It is shown in the following expression:  

C_f = \frac{F1*C1 +F2*C2}{F1 +F2}

Replacing every value in L/d and mg/L

C_f = \frac{18927059 L/d*10.0 mg/L +37854118 L/d*10.0 mg/L}{18927059 L/d +37854118 L/d}\\C_f = \frac{302832944 mg/d}{56781177 L/d} \\C_f = 5.3 mg/L

a) So, the concentration just downstream of the release point will be 5.3 mg/L it means 5.3 ppm.

Finally, we have to calculate the pounds of substance per day (Mp).  

We have the total flow F3 = F1 + F2 and the final concentration C_f. It is required to calculate per day, let's take a time of t = 1 day.  

F3 = F2 +F1 = 56781177 L/d \\M_p = F3 * t * C_f\\M_p = 56781177 \frac{L}{d} * 1 d * 5.3 \frac{mg}{L}\\M_p = 302832944 mg

After that, mg are converted to pounds.  

M_p = 302832944 mg (\frac{1g}{1000 mg} ) (\frac{1Kg}{1000 g} ) (\frac{2.2 lb}{1 Kg} )\\M_p = 137.6 lb

b) A total of 137.6 pounds pass a given spot downstream per day.

How are independent and dependent variables related?
shtirl [24]
They are pretty much the cause and effect. The independent variable that is being changed in the experiment, so it is the cause. The dependant variable is the result of change the independant variable, so the effect.

How small are the microorganisms that live on and in the human body? Answer it in at least 1 paragraph
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

The human body contains trillions of microorganisms — outnumbering human cells by 10 to 1. Because of their small size, however, microorganisms make up only about 1 to 3 percent of the body's mass (in a 200-pound adult, that's 2 to 6 pounds of bacteria), but play a vital role in human health.

Why does C-14 decay but not N-14?
Effectus [21]

Beta decay occurs when a neutron transforms into a proton, an electron(and an electron anti-neutrino) Even though there are less electrostatically-repelling protons in C 14 than in N 14 the extra neutrons make the nucleus less stable than that of N 14
