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.

calculate the mass of 120cc nitrogen present at STP. how many number of molecules are present in it?​
Stells [14]

Answer:

0.15008\ \text{g}

3.23\times 10^{21}

Explanation:

1 mol of nitrogen at STP = 22.4 L = 22400 cc

n = Mol of N_2 = \dfrac{120}{22400}=0.00536\ \text{mol}

M = Molar mass of N_2 = 28\ \text{g/mol}

N_A = Avogadro's number = 6.022\times 10^{23}\ \text{mol}^{-1}

Mass of N_2 is

m=nM\\\Rightarrow m=0.00536\times 28\\\Rightarrow m=0.15008\ \text{g}

Mass of the nitrogen is 0.15008\ \text{g}

Number of molecules is given by

nN_A=0.00536\times 6.022\times 10^{23}=3.23\times 10^{21}\ \text{molecules}

The number of molecules present in it are 3.23\times 10^{21}

The chemical equation shown represents photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide plus A plus light with a right-pointing arrow towards B pl
astra-53 [7]

Answer: <u><em>Option B; It traps light energy and converts it into chemical energy.</em></u>

<h2>Explanation: This substance is chlorophyll. It is a pigment present in leaves of all plants. It absorbs light energy and provides it to carry out the process of photosynthesis. Light energy is converted into chemical energy, in form of NADPH and ATP, which can be used by plants for photosynthesis.</h2><h2></h2><h2>This pigment is present only in plants, so option A is incorrect.</h2><h2></h2><h2>This pigment only absorbs and transfers energy to other molecules, and is not associated with carbon dioxide directly, so option C and D are also incorrect.</h2>

Can a solution with undissolved solute be supersaturated
Helen [10]

Answer: A supersaturated solution will not contain undissolved solute because the undissolved solute will be indicative of saturated solution.

Explanation:

A supersaturated solution is the one that consists of more than the maximum concentration of the solute in the solvent that is being dissolved at a given temperature. A saturated solution is the one in which the maximum concentration of solute has been dissolved in the solvent and no additional solute can be dissolved further.

According to the given statement, a solution with undissolved solute is a saturated solution rather a supersaturated solution.
