The concentration of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) in a river just downstream of a wastewater treatment plant’s effluent pipe

is 75 mg/L. If the BOD is destroyed through a first-order reaction with a rate constant equal to 0.05/day, what is the BOD concentration 50 km downstream? The velocity of the river is 15 km/day.

Answer:

The BOD concentration 50 km downstream when the velocity of the river is 15 km/day is 63.5 mg/L

Explanation:

Let the initial concentration of the BOD = C₀

Concentration of BOD at any time or point = C

dC/dt = - KC

∫ dC/C = -k ∫ dt

Integrating the left hand side from C₀ to C and the right hand side from 0 to t

In (C/C₀) = -kt + b (b = constant of integration)

At t = 0, C = C₀

In 1 = 0 + b

b = 0

In (C/C₀) = - kt

(C/C₀) = e⁻ᵏᵗ

C = C₀ e⁻ᵏᵗ

C₀ = 75 mg/L

k = 0.05 /day

C = 75 e⁻⁰•⁰⁵ᵗ

So, we need the BOD concentration 50 km downstream when the velocity of the river is 15 km/day

We calculate how many days it takes the river to reach 50 km downstream

Velocity = (displacement/time)

15 = 50/t

t = 50/15 = 3.3333 days

So, we need the C that corresponds to t = 3.3333 days

C = 75 e⁻⁰•⁰⁵ᵗ

0.05 t = 0.05 × 3.333 = 0.167

C = 75 e⁻⁰•¹⁶⁷

C = 63.5 mg/L

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

A) Force

Explanation:

It is an example of force since force is a vector quantity so it has magnitude and direction. In this case the magnitude is equal to 5 [N] and the direction is upward.

The weight can not be, as it always acts downward.

Mass is not a force, its unit is given usually in kilogram [kg]

Compare between chromosphere, corona and photosphere
gladu [14]

Answer:

Explained

Explanation:

Photosphere: The lowest layer of the sun is called photo sphere . It is about 300 miles thick from the surface. It is the source of solar flares. It is  marked by bright bubbling granules of plasma.

chromosphere emits a reddish glow as the super heated hydrogen burns off but the red rim can only be seen during total solar eclipse.

The third layer of the sun atmosphere is Corona. It can also only be seen during during a total solar eclipse. Temperature in corona can reach as high as 3.5 million degree fahrenheit.  As the gases cool they become solar winds.
