Answer: It's a modern-day engineering challenge to remove human-made contaminants from

drinking water. After a quick review of the treatment processes that municipal water

goes through before it comes from the tap you will learn about the still-present

measurable contamination of drinking water due to anthropogenic (human-made)

chemicals. Substances such as prescription medication, pesticides and hormones are

detected in the drinking water supplies of American and European metropolitan cities.

The engineering design process can be used to design solutions for a real-world

problem (contaminated water) that could affect health.

Engineering Connection

The water that comes from our faucets has passed through a complex system designed

by many different types of engineers. Civil, chemical, electrical, environmental,

geotechnical, hydraulic, structural and architectural engineers all play roles in the

design, development and implementation of municipalities' drinking water supplies and

delivery systems. Hydraulic engineers design systems that safely filter the water at a

rate needed to supply a specific region and population. Chemical engineers precisely

determine the amounts and types of chemicals added to source water for coagulation

and decontamination to make the water safe to drink and not taste bad. Even so,

modern pharmaceutical and agricultural practices persist in contaminating our water

supplies.

Calculate %ic of the interatomic bonds for the intermetallic compound al6mn. on the basis of this result, what type of interatom

pashok25 [27]

Answer : % ionic character is 0.20%

Bonding between the two metals will be purely metallic.

Explanation: For the calculation of % ionic character, we use the formula

$\% \text{ ionic character}= [1-e^{\frac{-(X_A-X_B)^2)}{4}}]\times(100\%)$

where $X_A$ & $X_B$ are the Pauling's electronegativities.

The table attached has the values of electronegativities, by taking the values of Al and Mn from there,

$X_{Al}=1.61$

$X_{Mn}=1.55$

Putting the values in the electronegativity formula, we get

$\% \text{ ionic character}= [1-e^{\frac{-(1.61-1.55)^2)}{4}}]\times(100\%)$

= 0.20%

Now, there are 3 types of inter atomic bonding

1) Ionic Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond in which there is complete transfer of valence electrons between atoms

2) Covalent Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond involving the sharing of electron pairs between 2 atoms.

3) Metallic Bonding: It refers to the chemical bond in which there is an electrostatic force between the positively charged metal ions and delocalised electrons.

In $Al_6Mn$ compound, the % ionic character is minimal that is $\sim$ 0.20% and there are two metal ions present, therefore this compound will have metallic bonding.

Describe how to test your unknown salt mixture for the presence of<br>Na3PO4.12H2O.

klemol [59]

Na3PO4*12H2O + BaCl2*2H2O = Ba3(PO4)2 + NaCl + H2O

add barium chloride to your Na3PO4.12H2O a white precipitate of Ba3(PO4)2 will be formed wrt salt(NaCl) and water(H20) if Na3PO4.12H2O. will be there.
