A sample of sand, 5cm in diameter and 10 cm long, was prepared at a porosity of 50% in a constant head apparatus. The total head

was kept constant at 30 cm and the amount of water collected in 5 seconds was 60 cm3. The test temperature was 17oC. Calculate the hydraulic conductivity and the seepage velocity at 20 oC.

Answer:

K = 2.037*10^{-3} m/s

V_s = 0.0122 \ m/s

Explanation:

Given that;

diameter (d) = 10cm/2 = 0.1m/2 = 0.05 m

length (l) = 10 cm = 0.1 m

porosity = 50%

height (h) = 30 cm = 0.3 m

time (t) = 5 s

volume (v) = 60 cm³ = 60 × 10⁻⁶ m³

Q (flow rate) = \frac{v}{t}

Q = \frac{60*10^{-6} m^3}{5}

Q = 12*10^{-6} m^3 /sec

From constant head method, we use the relation K = (\frac{Q*L}{A*h}) to determine the hydraulic conductivity ; we have:

K = \frac{12*10^{-6}*0.1}{\frac{\pi}{4}0.05^2*0.3}

K = 0.002037\\\\K = 2.037*10^{-3} m/s

Seepage velocity V_s = \frac{velocity }{porosity}

where; velocity = K*i

=(2.037*10^{-3}*)(\frac{0.3}{0.1})

= 6.111*10^{-3} m/s

V_s = \frac{6.111*10^{-3}}{0.5}

V_s = 0.0122 \ m/s

muminat

Answer:

a.

Explanation:

Assuming that Liquid X is considered to possess a greater viscosity as well as higher surface tension than liquid Y. Then, liquid X will tend to harbour more pressure inside the liquid.

In addition to that, the greater the surface tension, the greater the force required to expand the liquid's surface area.

This in turn makes the force required to make the loop 5% wider to be greater in FX rather than FY.

Thus, option a is the correct answer.

If you need to extract a 50 ml aqueous solution with 50 ml of dichloromethane, what is the minimum size of a separatory funnel y
tatuchka [14]

The dichloromethane (DCM) has less density than water and also the polarity of water is much more than DCM. So the mixture of water and dichloromethane will always be a heterogeneous mixture. In the mixture dichloromethane will be always up of the water layer. The volume of the separatory funnel which contains the mixture of DCM and water must have to be more than the total volume of the liquids thus the volume of the funnel will be more than (50+50) = 100mL.

The caution have to consider during the separation are-

1. The separatory funnel have to shake well with lid and have to settle down for some times until the two liquid separated.

2. The lid should be open very slowly as the vapor pressure of DCM is more and it will float on the water.

3. After this the stopcock should be opened and slowly the water will come out first followed by DCM.
