3. A midnight dumper discharged a tank truck full of industrial waste in a gravel pit. The truck was spotted there 3 days ago, and a pool of pure waste remains. A laboratory technician determined that the waste has a 5-day BOD of 80 mg/L with a rate constant of 0.1/day. Three factories in the vicinity generate organic wastes: a winery (ultimate BOD = 275 mg/L) a vinegar manufacturer (ultimate BOD = 80 mg/L) and a pharmaceutical company (ultimate BOD = 200 mg/L). Using the information, determine the source of the waste.

True or False (6 - 7) 6. It is found for the reaction A + B → C that doubling A while keeping B constant makes the reaction go 8 times faster and doubling B while keeping A constant makes the reaction go 2 times faster. The rate law for this reaction is: rate= k (A][B]* 7. Suppose you were dissolving a metal such as zinc with hydrochloric acid. Particle size of zinc has no effect on the rate of reaction.
Our body obtains energy from the combustion of glucose. During this process, glycerate is transformed first into pyruvate. This reaction has an activation energy close to 44 kJ. Estimate how many times faster this reaction is when someone has a high fever close to 106 F (41 oC) compared to its rate at normal body temperature (98.6 F; 37 oC). Select an answer and submit.
