The mass of an atom of element x is equivalent to the total mass of 7 hydrogen atoms

The first step is to convert Million Gallons per Day (MGD) to Liters per day (L/d). In that sense, it is possible to calculate with data given previously in the problem.

Million Gallons per day $1 MGD = 3785411.8 litre/day = 3785411.8 L/d$

$F_1 = 5 MGD (\frac{3785411.8 L/d}{1MGD} ) = 18927059 L/d\\F_2 =10 MGD (\frac{3785411.8 L/d}{1MGD} )= 37854118 L/d$

We have one flow of wastewater released into a stream.

First flow is F1 =5 MGD with a concentration of C1 =10.0 mg/L.

Second flow is F2 =10 MGD with a concentration of C2 =3.0 mg/L.

After both of them are mixed, the final concentration will be between 3.0 and 10.0 mg/L. To calculate the final concentration, we can calculate the mass of pollutant in total, adding first and Second flow pollutant, and dividing in total flow. Total flow is the sum of first and second flow. It is shown in the following expression:

$C_f = \frac{F1*C1 +F2*C2}{F1 +F2}$

Replacing every value in L/d and mg/L

$C_f = \frac{18927059 L/d*10.0 mg/L +37854118 L/d*10.0 mg/L}{18927059 L/d +37854118 L/d}\\C_f = \frac{302832944 mg/d}{56781177 L/d} \\C_f = 5.3 mg/L$

a) So, the concentration just downstream of the release point will be 5.3 mg/L it means 5.3 ppm.

Finally, we have to calculate the pounds of substance per day (Mp).

We have the total flow F3 = F1 + F2 and the final concentration $C_f$ . It is required to calculate per day, let's take a time of t = 1 day.

$F3 = F2 +F1 = 56781177 L/d \\M_p = F3 * t * C_f\\M_p = 56781177 \frac{L}{d} * 1 d * 5.3 \frac{mg}{L}\\M_p = 302832944 mg$

After that, mg are converted to pounds.

$M_p = 302832944 mg (\frac{1g}{1000 mg} ) (\frac{1Kg}{1000 g} ) (\frac{2.2 lb}{1 Kg} )\\M_p = 137.6 lb$

b) A total of 137.6 pounds pass a given spot downstream per day.

What kind of bond is created by a week electrical attraction between polar molecules

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer : The dipole-dipole interaction.

Explanation : The kind of bond that is created by a weak electrical attraction between two polar molecules is dipole-dipole interaction.

The type of force which occurs between the positive end of one molecule and the negative end of another molecule: is dipole-dipole interaction.

In an open system the vapor pressure is equal to the

erica [24]

Answer: In an open system the vapor pressure is equal to the outside air pressure.

Explanation:

An open system is a system that is capable of exchanging both matter and energy with its surroundings.

For example, a hot cup of coffee is an open system as the cup is not covered with a lid. Therefore, heat energy from the coffee goes into the surroundings.

Vapor pressure is defined as the ability of a substance to change into vapor state. pressure

Therefore, we can conclude that in an open system the vapor pressure is equal to the outside air pressure.
