Describe a main goal of secondary treatment in a modern sewage treatment plant.

Chemistry

Vikki [24]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

The main goal of secondary treatment is the further treatment of the liquid waste from primary treatment to remove the residual organics and suspended solids. Most times, secondary treatment follows primary treatment and involves the removal of biodegradable dissolved and colloidal organic matter using aerobic biological treatment processes. Aerobic biological treatment as the name implies, it is performed in the presence of oxygen by aerobic microorganisms (principally bacteria) that metabolize the organic matter in the wastewater, thereby producing more microorganisms and inorganic end-products majorly CO2, NH3, and H2O.

Answer:

A wastewater treatment plant serves to evacuate solids, reducing organic matter and present pollutants, thus restoring oxygen. Bacteria and other microorganisms are used to reduce organic matter and pollutants, so that they consume the organic matter present in the waste water.

The primary purpose of secondary treatment is to improve the process so that at least 90% of all contaminants are evacuated. The equipment used for this purpose is an aeration tank, which supplies large amounts of air to a mixture of wastewater, bacteria and microorganisms. The oxygen found in the injected air increases the growth of microorganisms, so that they consume the organic matter found in the waste water.

Which radioactive emission has the smallest (least) mass? Question options:
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

The answer is D. gamma rays

Explanation:

A radioactive atom can have three different types of emission:

alpha particles (α) = they have a mass of 4 amu and they have a very low penetrating power.

Beta particles (β) = they have 5x10^{-4} amu and they have an intermediate penetrating power

Gamma rays (γ) = they are not particles basically just energy so its mass is ≈ 0 and its penetrating power is higher

For this reason Gamma emissions (γ) has the smallest mass value.

Acenapthalene has the empirical formula C6H5. A solution of 0.515 g of acenapthalene in 15.0 g CHCl3 boils at 62.5oC. The normal
german

Answer:

The molecular formula of an ascenapthalene is C_{12}H_{10}

Explanation:

\Delta T_b=K_b\times m

\Delta T_b=K_b\times \frac{\text{Mass of acenapthalene}}{\text{Molar mass of acenapthalene}\times \text{Mass of chloroform in Kg}}

where,

\Delta T_f =Elevation in boiling point = (62.5-61.7)^oC=0.8^oC

Mass of acenapthalene = 0.515 g

Mass of CHCl_3 = 15.0 g = 0.015 kg (1 kg = 1000 g)

K_b = boiling point constant = 3.63 °C/m

m = molality

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get

0.8^0C=3.67 ^oC/m\times \frac{0.515}{\text{Molar mass of acenapthalene}\times 0.015kg}

\text{Molar mass of acenapthalene}=155.7875 g/mol

Let the molecule formula of the Acenapthalene be C_{6n]H_{5n}

6n\times 12 g/mol+5n\times 1 g/mol=155.7875 g/mol

n = 2.0

The molecular formula of an ascenapthalene is C_{12}H_{10}
