A water treatment plant receives the source water with an average Ca2+ concentration of 46.9 mg/L and Mg2+ concentration of 14.8

mg/L. The plant is treating 80 million gallons of water per day. What mass of solids will be produced per day if all of the calcium and magnesium are converted to CaCO3(s) and Mg(OH)2(s) in the softening process? Give your answer in kg.

Answer:

42,650 kg of calcium carbonate will be produced everyday.

13,600.5 kg of magnesium hydroxide will be produced everyday.

Explanation:

Concentration of calcium ions = 46.9 mg/L

Concentration of magnesium ions = 14.8  mg/L

Volume of solution treated everyday , V= 80 million gal

= 80\times 10^6 gal=4.546\times 80\time 10^6 L=3.637\times 10^8 L

1 gallon = 4.546 Liter

Mass of  calcium ion in V = 46.9 mg/L\times 3.637\times 10^8 L

=  1.706\times 10^{10} mg

1 mg = 0.001 g

1.706\times 10^{7} g

Moles of calcium ions = \frac{1.706\times 10^{7} g}{40 g/mol}=426,500 mol

From 1 mole of calcium ion 1mol of carbonate is formed . then from 426,500 moles of calcium ion will form :

\frac{1}{1}\times 426,500 mol=426,500 mol of calcium carbonate

Mass of 426,500 moles of calcium carbonate:

426,500 mol × 100 g/mol  = 42,650,000 g = 42,650 kg

Mass of  magnesium ion in V = 14.8 mg/L\times 3.637\times 10^8 L

= 5.382\times 10^{9} mg

=  5.382\times 10^{6} g

Moles of magnesium ions = \frac{5.382\times 10^{6} g}{24 g/mol}=224,250 mol

From 1 mole of magnesium ion 1 mol of magnesium hydroxide is formed . then from 224,250 moles of magnesium ion will form :

\frac{1}{1}\times 224,250 mol=224,250 mol of magnesium hydroxide

Mass of 224,250 moles of magnesium hydroxide:

224,250 mol × 58 g/mol  = 13,006,500 g = 13,006.5 kg

42,650 kg of calcium carbonate will be produced everyday.

13,600.5 kg of magnesium hydroxide will be produced everyday.

Explain the difference between fixed and variable oxidation
dem82 [27]

Fixed vs Variable Oxidation is given below.

Explanation:

1.In its compounds, hydrogen has an oxidation number of +1, except. hydrides where the. oxidation number of hydrogen is -1. In their compounds, the metals with fixed oxidation states have the oxidation number that. corresponds with the fixed oxidation number.

A variable oxidation state is a value that determines the charge of the atom depending on certain conditions.

2. Ox­i­da­tion state of el­e­ments is con­sid­ered to be of the most im­por­tant in the study of chem­istry. For some el­e­ments, this fig­ure is con­stant known as fixed oxidation , while for oth­ers it is vari­able is called variable oxidation state.

3. MgCl2 :  magnesium is in Group IIA and all elements in Group IIA have fixed oxidation numbers of +2

FeCl2 :  iron has a variable oxidation number of either +2 or +3 and is not fixed

Identify the units used to measure volume mass.
Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The metric system uses units such as meter, liter, and gram to measure length, liquid volume, and mass, just as the U.S. customary system uses feet, quarts, and ounces to measure these.

Volume: 1 liter is a little more than 1 quart

Mass: 1 kilogram is a little more than 2 pounds

Length: 1 centimeter is a little less than half an
