A water contains 50.40 mg/L as CaCO3 of carbon dioxide, 190.00 mg/L as CaCO3 of Ca2 and 55.00 mg/L as CaCO3 of Mg2 . All of the

hardness is carbonate hardness. Using the stoichiometry of the lime soda ash softening equations, what is the daily sludge production (in dry weight, kg/day) if the plant treats water at a rate of 2.935 m^3/s. Assume that the effluent water contains no carbon dioxide, 30.0 mg. L^-1 as CaCO3 of Ca2+ and 10.0 mg.L^1 as CaCO3 of Mg2+. Be sure to calculate the mass of CaC03 and Mg(OH)2 sludge produced each day.

Answer:

Total sludge = 123426kg/d

Explanation:

The reaction is given as;

H2Co3 + Ca(OH)2 ⇆ CaCo3 + 2H20

   1              1                   1              2 moles

Calculating the concentration of C02, we have

Concentration of C02 = concentration of CaCo3/Molecular weight of Caco3

                                     = 50.4/100.09

                                     = 0.5035mol/L

Sludge of Co2 = Conc. of Co2 * Q * MW of CaCo3 *10^-6

                         = 0.5035 * 253.6 *10^6 * 100.09 * 10^-6

                         = 12780kg/d

From the equation Ca2+ + 2HCo3- + Ca(OH)2 ⇄ 2CaCo3 + 2H2O

1 mole of calcium yields 2 moles of CaCo3

Therefore, Concentration of Ca2+ = Conc. of CaCo3/Mw of CaCO3

                                                         = 190-30/100.09

                                                         =1.599mol/L

Calculating sludge of calcium:

Sludge of Ca = 2 * Conc. of ca * Q * mw of CaCO3 * 10^-6

                       = 2 * 1.599 *253.6*10^6* 100.09 * 10^-6

                       = 811742kg/d

From the equation,

Mg2+ +2HCO3- + Ca(OH)2 ⇄ MgCO3 + 2CaCO3 + 2H2O

1 mole of mg yields 2 moles CaCO3 and 1 mole of Mg(OH)2

Concentration of Mg2+ = Conc, of CaCO3 /Mw of CaCo3

                                       = 55- 10/100.09

                                       = 0.4496mol/L

Sludge of Mg = 2 *  Conc. of Mg * Q * mw of CaCO3 * 10^-6 +* Conc. of Mg * Q * mw of Mg(OH)2 * 10^-6

= 2 * 0.4496 * 253.5*10^6 * 100.09 * 10^-6 + 0.4996* 253.5*10^6 58.3 * 10^-6

= 29472kg/d

Total Sludge = Sludge of CO2 + Sludge of Ca + Sludge of Mg

                      12780+ 81174 + 29472

                       = 123426kg/d

main () {

double weight, shippingCharge, rate, segments;

int distance;

printf("Enter the weight: \n");

scanf("%lf", &weight);

printf("Enter the distance: \n");

scanf("%i", &distance);

if (weight <= 10) {

printf("Rate is $3.00 \n");

rate = 3;

} else {

printf("Rate is $5.00 \n");

rate = 5;

}

if (distance % 500 == 0) {

segments = distance / 500;

} else {

segments = distance / 500 + 1;

}

shippingCharge = rate * segments;

if (distance >1000) {

shippingCharge = shippingCharge + 10;

}

printf("Your shipping charge is $%lf\n", shippingCharge);

system ("pause");

It is true about Metals and alloys: a)-They are good electrical and thermal conductors b)-They can be used as semi-conductors c)
ycow [4]

Answer:

(d) a and c are correct

Explanation:

METALS : Metal are those materials which has very high ductility, high modulus of elasticity, good thermal and electrical conductivity

for example : iron, gold ,silver, copper

ALLOYS: Alloys are those materials which are made up of combining of two or more than two metals these also have good thermal and electrical conductivity and me liable property

for example ; bronze and brass

so from above discussion it is clear that option (d) will be the correct option
