In the 1960s through 1980s, a medical filter manufacturer in Ann Arbor discharged 1,4-dioxane (an industrial solvent) directly i

nto the environment, where it ultimately leached into underlying groundwater aquifers. A plume of 1,4-dioxane has been spreading under Ann Arbor and could pose water quality risks if it reaches Barton Pond, which supplies 85% of the city's drinking water. a) Barton Pond contains 1.5 billion gallons (5.68 million m3) of water and initially contains no 1,4-dioxane. Assume the pond is perfectly mixed with one stream flowing in and out at a rate of 1 m3/s. Suppose the plume enters the pond at a rate of 0.1 m3/s and contains 50 mg/L of 1,4-dioxane, which has a first-order decay constant of 6.4*105 s1. What is the steady-state concentration of 1,4-dioxane in the pond? b) Local water authorities find a way to divert the plume such that 1,4-dioxane is no longer entering the pond. How long will it take for the 14-dioxane concentration in the pond to reach the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality's new allowable drinking water level of 7.2 ug/L? c) The EPA classifies 1,4-dioxane as a probable carcinogen with a potency factor of 0.011 (mg/kg/d)1. If the water contains the EPA's allowable limit of 7.2 μg/L of 1,4-dioxane, calculate the carcinogenic risk based on the default EPA exposure factors over a lifetime for ingestion of potable water in an average adult. Is the water safe to drink based on the "rule of thumb" discussed in class?

Answer:

Refer below.

Explanation:

According to the rule of thumb water is safe to drink if its under all precautions and all safety measures otherwise one have to look before drink if its not under all precautions.

Answer:

Based on the rule of thumb water is both safe and unsafe to drink it depends on the state, form, purity and other conditions the water was kept before consumption. I hope this will be helpful. #stay safe#

3. If nothing can ever be at absolute zero, why does the concept exist?
Tanzania [10]

The absolute zero in temperature refers to the minimal possible temperature. It is the temperature at which the molecules of a system stop moving, so it is a really useful reference point.

<h3>Why absolute zero can't be reached?</h3>

It would mean that we need to remove all the energy from a system, but to do this we need to interact with the system in some way, and by interacting with it we give it "some" energy.

Actually, from a quantum mechanical point of view, the absolute zero has a residual energy (so it is not actually zero) and it is called the "zero point". This happens because it must meet <u>Heisenberg's uncertainty principle</u>.

So yes, the absolute zero can't be reached, but there are really good approximations (At the moment there is a difference of about 150 nanokelvins between the absolute zero and the smallest temperature reached). Also, there are a lot of investigations near the absolute zero, like people that try to reach it or people that just need to work with really low temperatures, like in type I superconductors.

So, concluding, why does the concept exist?

  • Because it is a reference point.
  • It is the theoretical temperature at which the molecules stop moving, defining this as the <u>minimum possible temperature.</u>

A pressure gage at the inlet to a gas compressor indicates that the gage pressure is 40.0 kPa. Atmospheric pressure is 1.01 bar.
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

Given

inlet Pga =40kpa = 40000pa

Patm=1.01bar = 1.01 x 100000pa =101000pa

exit Pab= 6.5 (inlet Pab)

But generally, Pab = Patm + Pga

1. the absolute pressure of the gas at the inlet, inlet Pab?

inlet Pab = Patm + inlet Pga

            = 101000pa + 40000pa = 141kpa

the absolute pressure of the gas at the inlet, inlet Pab = 141kpa

2. the gage pressure of the gas at the exit? exit Pga?

exit Pab = Patm + exit Pga

exit Pga = exit Pab - Patm

             = (6.5 x 141kpa) - 101kpa

              = 815.5kpa

the gage pressure of the gas at the exit exit Pga=815.5kpa
