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

Technician A says test lights are great for performing simple tests. Technician B says you can use a test light to check SRS cir
adoni [48]

The technician that is correct about either testing lights for simple tests or to check SRS Circuits is; Technician A.

<h3>Which Technician is Correct?</h3>

First of all it is pertinent to note that test lights are generally small bulbs that are turned on by the voltage and current flowing through the circuit in analog circuits.

Now, the  two values ​​of voltage and current are high and sufficient to light up the bulb. However, in digital circuits, the current is very small in the order of milliamps, and as a result there is not enough power to turn on the lights.

Thus, we can conclude that Technician A is correct.

You are hitting a nail with a hammer (mass of hammer =1.8lb) the initial velocity of the hammer is 50 mph (73.33 ft/sec). The ti
Archy [21]

Answer:

The nail exerts a force of 573.88 Pounds on the Hammer in positive j direction.

Explanation:

Since we know that the force is the rate at which the momentum of an object changes.

Mathematically \overrightarrow{F}=\frac{\Delta \overrightarrow{p}}{\Delta t}

The momentum of any body is defines as \overrightarrow{p}=mass\times \overrightarrow{v}

In the above problem we see that the moumentum of the hammer is reduced to zero in 0.023 seconds thus the force on the hammer is calculated using the above relations as

\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(\overrightarrow{v_{f}}-\overrightarrow{v_{i}})}{\Delta t}

\overrightarrow{F}=\frac{m(0-(-73.33)}{0.23}=\frac{1.8\times 73.33}{0.23}=573.88Pounds
