How much salt (NaCl) is carried by a river flowing at 30.0 m3/s and containing 50.0 mg/L of salt
1 answer:
Answer:
129,600kg/day
Explanation:
The river is flowing at 30.0
1 m³ is equivalent to 1000L
flowrate of river = 30*1000 =30,000L/s
Convert L/s to litre per day by multiplying by 24*60*60
flowrate of river = 30,000 * 24*60*60 L/day
= 2,592,000,000L/day
if the river contains 50mg of salt in 1L of solution
lets find how many mg of salt Y is contained in 2,592,000,000L/day
by cross multiplying we have
Y=
Y= 129,600,000,000 mg/day
convert this value to kg/day by dividing by 1 million
Y= 129,600,000,000/1000000
Y= 129,600kg/day
