A homeowner collects her paper, cardboard, yard waste, and food waste for composting. Given below are the amounts in kg of the waste that she collects. She knows that for a successful compost, she must have a molar ratio of C:N of 20:1 or lower to succeed. What is the C:N ratio? Is her compost recipe going to succeed?

A groundwater source is contaminated by Chemical X at a concentration of 32 μg/L. You are hired as an environmental engineer to decrease that concentration to 4 μg/L by adding activated carbon. According to the literature, the Freundlich isotherm coefficients for activated carbon are Kp = 0.08 and n = 2.6 for concentrations in mg/L. Calculate the mass of activated carbon (in mg) needed for 9 L of water.
