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

A 53 g ice cube at −30◦C is dropped into a container of water at 0◦C. How much water freezes onto the ice? The specific heat of
vladimir2022 [97]

For A 53 g ice cube at −30◦C is dropped into a container of water at 0◦C, the amount of water that freezes onto the ice?  is mathematically given as

x = 9.93 g

<h3>What is the amount of water that freezes onto the ice?</h3>

Where

Energy received = energy given out

Generally, the amount of water is mathematically given as

(53)(0.5)(30) = (80)(x)

Therefore

x = (49)(0.5)(16)/(80)

x = 9.93 g

In conclusion, the mass of water

x = 9.93 g

Light from a 560 nm monochromatic source is incident upon the surface of fused quartz (n=1. 56) at an angle of 60°. what is the
ankoles [38]

The angle of reflection is "60°".

Here we apply the law of the concept of reflection then we get the final answer easily.

The angle of incident = angle of reflection

Then, the Angle of the incident =60°

What is reflection?

  • Reflection is the phenomenon of light rays returning to the source after striking an obstruction.
  • It resembles the way a ball bounces when we toss it on a hard surface.
  • Some of the light rays that strike an item are reflected, some of them travel through it, and the remainder are absorbed by the object.
  • The given values are:Light from a monochromatic source,= 560 nm
  • The angle of incidence,= 60°
  • The surface of fused quartz (n),= 1.56
  • When a light ray does exist on a flat surface, the law or idea of reflection should apply since it includes both the reflected and "normal" light rays at the mirror surface.
  • According to the above law,Angle of incident = angle of reflection
  • Then, Angle of incident =60°.
