You are carefully watching the temperature of your melting point apparatus as it is heating up. At 132 C it is still a white sol

id. Your friend asks you a question, after answering you look back at the melting point apparatus and the temperature is 138 C and the solid is fully melted. What do you do?

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Since the experiment is set out to determine the melting point of the white solid, after missing the melting point due to distraction, there are two possible solutions and both involves a repeat of the experiment.</em>

1. The first one is to allow the molten substance to solidify again and then repeat the experiment. This time around, a critical attention should be paid to be able to notice the melting point temperature once the temperature gets to 132 C.

2. The second solution would be discard the molten substance and repeat the experiment with the a new solid one. Similarly, critical attention should be paid once the temperature gets to 132 C since it is sure that the melting point lies within 132 and 138 C.

The raw water supply for a community contains 18 mg/L total particulate matter. It is to be treated by addition of 60 mg alum (A
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Solution :

Given :

The steady state flow = 8000 $ m^3 /d $

                                    $= 80 \times 10^5 \ I/d $

The concentration of the particulate matter = 18 mg/L

Therefore, the total quantity of a particulate matter in fluid $= 80 \times 10^5 \ I/d \times 18 \ mg/L $

$= 144 \times 10^6 \ mg/g$

$= 144 \ kg/d $

If 60 mg of alum $ [Al_2(SO_4)_3.14 H_2O] $ required for one litre of the water treatment.

So Alum required for  $ 80 \times 10^5 \ I/d $

$= 80 \times 15^5 \ I/d  \times 60 \ mg \ alum /L$

$= 480 \times 10^6 \ mg/d $

or 480 kg/d

Therefore the alum required is 480 kg/d

1 mg of the alum gives 0.234 mg alum precipitation, so 60 mg of alum will give $ = 60 \times 0.234 \text{ of alum ppt. per litre} $

      $= 14.04 $ mg of alum ppt. per litre

480 kg of alum will give = 480 x 0.234 kg/d

                                        = 112.32 kg/d ppt of alum

Daily total solid load is  $= 144 \ kg/d + 112.32 \ kg/d$

                                       = 256.32 kg/d

So, the total concentration of the suspended solid after alum addition $= 18 \ mg/L + 60 \times 0.234 $

= 32.04 mg/L

Therefore total alum requirement = 480 kg/d

b). Initial pH = 7.4

 The dissociation reaction of aluminium hydroxide as follows :

$Al(OH)_3 \rightleftharpoons Al^{3+} + 3OH^{-} $

After addition, the aluminium hydroxide pH of water will increase due to increase in $ OH^- $ ions.

Therefore, the pH of water will be acceptable range after the addition of aluminium hydroxide.

c). The reaction of $CO_2$ and water as follows :

$CO_2 (g) + H_2O (l) \rightarrow H_2CO_3$

For the atmospheric pressure :

$p_{CO_2} = 3.5 \times 10^{-4} \ atm $

And the pH is reduced into the range of 5.9 to 6.4

Name two solid liquid and gaseous element at the normal temperature and normal press<br>ure​
liubo4ka [24]

Answer:

Solid: calcium and potassium

Liquid: mercury and bromine

Gaseous: oxygen and fluorine

Explanation:

Matter exists in three different states namely: solid, gaseous and liquid. Elements that are found in nature are classified as matter. Since, these elements are grouped as matter, they can either be found as either solids, liquids or gases at normal temperature and pressure.

At normal temperature (20°C or 293K) and pressure (1 atm), the following elements are found to exists in the respective state of matter:

Solid: Calcium (Ca) and potassium (K)

Liquid: Mercury (Hg) and bromine (Br)

Gaseous: Oxygen (O) and fluorine (F)
