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.

kolezko [41]

Additional information

Relative atomic mass(Ar) : A=7, G=16

The empirical formula : A₂G

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

3.5g of element A

4.0g of element G

Required

the empirical formula for this compound

Solution

The empirical formula is the smallest comparison of atoms of compound forming elements.

The empirical formula also shows the simplest mole ratio of the constituent elements of the compound

mol of element A :

\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{Ar}\\\\mol=\dfrac{3.5}{7}=0.5

mol of element G :

\tt mol=\dfrac{4}{16}=0.25

mol ratio A : G = 0.5 : 0.25 = 2 : 1

can someone explain how this is wrong? I don’t think it is wrong but my chem teacher deducted points. so why?
ruslelena [56]

Answer: measure the mass (48.425g) of KCl

Explanation:

To prepare the solution 0.65M KCl we must measure the mass of KCl that would be dissolved in 1L of the solution. This can be achieved by:

Molar Mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5g/mol

Number of mole (n) = 0.65

Mass conc of KCl = n x molar Mass

Mass conc of KCl = 0.65 x 74.5 = 48.425g

Therefore, to make 0.65M KCl, we must measure 48.425g

During the chemical reaction given below 21.71 grams of each reagent were allowed to react. Determine how many grams of the exce
swat32

Answer: 16.32 g of O_2 as excess reagent are left.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} SO_2=\frac{21.71g}{64g/mol}=0.34mol

\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{21.71g}{32g/mol}=0.68mol

2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)  

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of SO_2 require = 1 mole of O_2

Thus 0.34 moles of SO_2 will require=\frac{1}{2}\times 0.34=0.17moles  of O_2

Thus SO_2 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and O_2 is the excess reagent.

Moles of O_2 left = (0.68-0.17) mol = 0.51 mol

Mass of O_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.51moles\times 32g/mol=16.32g

Thus 16.32 g of O_2 as excess reagent are left.
