The Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRD) chlorinates the water supply of the region at the rate of 1 ppm, that is, 1 kilog

ram of chlorine per million kilograms of water. The chlorine is introduced in the form of sodium hypochlorite, which is 47.62% chlorine. The population of the GVRD is 1.8 million persons. If each person uses 750 L of water per day, how many kilograms of sodium hypochlorite must be added to the water supply each week to produce the required chlorine level of 1 ppm?

Answer:

2835 kilograms of sodium hypochlorite must be added to the water supply each week to produce the required chlorine level of 1 ppm.

Explanation:

Volume of water used by 1 person =  750 L

Volume of water used by 1.8 million persons : V

V=1.8\times 10^6\times 750 L=1.35\times 10^{9} L

Density of water,d = 1 kg/L

Mass of water used by 1.8 million persons =  m

m=d\times V=1 kg/L\times 1.35\times 10^{9} L=1.35\times 10^{9} kg

1 kilogram of chlorine per million kilograms of water. (Given)

Concentration of chlorine in water = 1 kg/ 1000,000 kg of water

In 1000,000 kg of water = 1 kg of chlorine

Then 1.35\times 10^{9} kg of water have x mass of chlorine:

\frac{x}{1.35\times 10^{9} \text{kg of water}}=\frac{1 kg}{1000,000 \text{kg of water}}

x=\frac{1}{1000,000}\times 1.35\times 10^{9} kg=1.35\times 10^3 kg

Mass of chlorine in water of mass 1.35\times 10^{9} kg=1.35\times 10^{3} kg  

Percentage of chlorine in hypochlorite = 47.62%

47.62\%=\frac{1.35\times 10^{3} kg}{\text{Total mass of sodium hypochlorite}}\times 100

Total mass of sodium  hypochlorite = 2834.94 kg\approx 2835 kg

2835 kilograms of sodium hypochlorite must be added to the water supply each week to produce the required chlorine level of 1 ppm.

How are electrons excited in element?
sineoko [7]

Answer:

By absorbing energy electron is jump into higher energy level. This is called excitation.

Explanation:

The electron is jumped into higher level and back into lower level by absorbing and releasing the energy.

The process is called excitation and de-excitation.

Excitation:

When the energy is provided to the atom the electrons by absorbing the energy jump to the higher energy levels. This process is called excitation. The amount of energy absorbed by the electron is exactly equal to the energy difference of orbits.  For example if electron jumped from K to L it must absorbed the energy which is equal the energy difference of these two level. The excited electron thus move back to lower energy level which is K by releasing the energy.

De-excitation:

When the excited electron fall back to the lower energy levels the energy is released in the form of radiations. this energy is exactly equal to the energy difference between the orbits. The characteristics bright colors are due to the these emitted radiations. These emitted radiations can be seen if they are fall in the visible region of spectrum.

The main criterion for sigma bond formation is that the two bonded atoms have valence orbitals with lobes that point directly at
nalin [4]

Answer:

The given statement - The main criterion for sigma bond formation is that the two bonded atoms have valence orbitals with lobes that point directly at each other along the line between the two nuclei , is <u>True.</u>

Explanation:

The above statement is correct , because the sigma bond is produced by the head on overlapping, the orbitals should all point in the same direction.

<u>SIGMA BONDS -</u> Sigma bonds (bonds) are the strongest type of covalent chemical bond in chemistry. They're made up of atomic orbitals that collide head-on. For diatomic molecules, sigma bonding is best characterized using the language and tools of symmetry groups.

Head-on overlapping of atomic orbitals produces sigma bonds. The concept of sigma bonding is expanded to include bonding interactions where a single lobe of one orbital overlaps with a single lobe of another. Propane, for example, is made up of ten sigma bonds, one for each of the two CC bonds and one for each of the eight CH bonds.

Hence , the answer is true .
