A worker is exposed to the following airborne concentrations of ethylbenzene: 8:00 – 10:00 125 ppm 10:15 – 12:15 88 ppm 12:45 –

3:15 112 ppm 3:30 – 5:00 70 ppm What is the 8-hour TWA exposure for the employee (calculate the exposure)? Does it exceed the OSHA PEL?

Answer:

The 8-hour TWA exposure for the employee is 101 ppm and it exceeds the OSHA PEL of 100 ppm for ethylbenzene.

Explanation:

The TWA for 8 hours is calculated by the sum of airbone concentrations multiplied by the time it has been exposed to that period. The total is divided by 8 which refers to the 8 hours total the employee has been exposed.

TWA = (125x2+88x2+112x2.5+70x1.5)/8.

The OSHA PEL is a known number for every compound and it can be find in PEL tables. In the case of ethylbenezene, it is 100 ppm.

If a swimming pool contains 2,850 kiloliters (kL) of water, how many gallons (gal) of water does it contain? (1 gal = 3.785 L)
siniylev [52]

we are given

a swimming pool contains 2,850 kiloliters (kL) of water

2,850 kiloliters (kL)=2850000L

we know that

1gal=3.785L

3.785L=1gal

Firstly , we will find for 1L

1L=\frac{1}{3.785}gal

now, we can multiply both sides by 2850000

2850000*1L=2850000*\frac{1}{3.785}gal

2850000L=2850000*\frac{1}{3.785}gal

2850000L=752972.25892gal

so,

a swimming pool contains 752972.25892gal of water...........Answer

Which is the best indicator for giving a color change at the equivalence point?
agasfer [191]
There are different types of indicators for different neutralization reactions. The best indicator for giving a colour change at the equivalence point of a neutralization reaction depending on the pH range of a particular indicator and the equivalence point of the reaction. For instance, the best indicator for a neutralization reaction that involve the titration of NaOH with an acid which result in 9.00 equivalence point is phenolphtalein. This is because the equivalence point which is 9.00 is within the pH range of the indicator, which is between 8.0 to 10.1.
