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.

Answer:

See detailed answer with explanation below.

Explanation:

Valence electrons are electrons found on the outermost shell of an atom. They are the electrons in an atom that participate in chemical combination. Recall that the outermost shell of an atom is also referred to as its valence shell. Let us consider an example; if we look at the atom, sodium-11, its electronic configuration is 2,8,1. The last one electron is the valence electron of sodium which is found in its outermost or valence shell.

Positive ions are formed when electrons are lost from the valence shell of an atom. For instance, if the outermost electron in sodium is lost, we now form the sodium ion Na^+ which is a positive ion. Positive ions possess less number of electrons compared to their corresponding atoms.

Negative ions are formed when one or more electrons is added to the valence shell of an atom. A negative ion possesses more electrons than its corresponding atom. For example, chlorine(Cl) contains 17 electrons but the chloride ion (Cl^-) contains 18 electrons.

In molecular compounds, a bond is formed when two electrons are shared between the bonding atoms. Each bonding atom may contribute one of the shared electrons (ordinary covalent bond) or one of the bonding atoms may provide the both shared electrons (coordinate covalent bond). The shared pair may be located at an equidistant position to the nucleus of both atoms. Similarly, the electron may be drawn closer to the nucleus of one atom than the other (polar covalent bond) depending on the electro negativity of the two bonding atoms.

The electrons are shared in order to complete the octet of each atom by so doing, the both bonding atoms now obey the octet rule. For example, two chlorine atoms may come together to form a covalent bond in which each chlorine atom has an octet of electrons on its outermost shell.

The volume of a gas is the same as its _____.
AleksandrR [38]

The volume of a gas is the same as its CONTAINER.

Gases generally has no shape and no definite volume. When a gas is placed in a container, the gas usually takes the shape and the volume of the container, that is, the gas fills up all the available spaces in the container. Thus, the volume of a gas will always be the same as its container. This is in contrast with solids, which have definite shape and volume and liquids, which have definite volume but no fixed shape.

if you burn a piece of wood you will feel heat see water vapor and be left with ashes how come the matter was not destroyed
Elanso [62]
The matter wasn't destroyed because albert einsteins theory of the black hole says that matter cannot be destroyed if it is burned into the same color of a black hole. this eqation proves my thesis:
