**Understanding Ozone as a Disinfectant in Water Treatment**Ozone is occasionally employed as a disinfectant in the purification of drinking water. Its role involves reacting with various benign species within the water, along with targeting the pathogens it is meant to eliminate. Research reveals that the reaction of ozone in water approximately follows first-order kinetics regarding ozone concentration; this is observed as its concentration reduces by 50% over a span of 18 minutes.In a practical scenario, a water supplier seeks to inject ozone into a pipeline delivering water to a treatment facility. This process aims to pre-disinfect the water before it reaches the treatment plant. The pipeline under consideration measures 2.0 feet in diameter and extends 3,000 feet, operating under a consistent flow rate of 12,000 gallons per minute. The challenge is determining the concentration of ozone that must be introduced at the pipeline’s head, ensuring that an ozone concentration of 1.2 mg/L is present when the water exits into the treatment plant.

Given:- The concentration decreases by 50% in 18 minutes The diameter of the pipe = 2 ft The length…

Ozone is sometimes used as a disinfectant for drinking water. Ozone will react with many benign species in the water as well as the pathogens it is intended to kill. It is found that ozone reaction in water nearly follows first- order kinetics in ozone concentration, such that its concentration decreases by 50% in 18 minutes. A water supplier wants to inject ozone into a pipe bringing water to the water treatment plant to pre-disinfect the influent. The 2.0 ft diameter pipe is 3,000 feet long with a steady flow rate of 12,000 gal/min. What concentration of ozone should be injected at the head of the pipe so that there will be an ozone concentration of 1.2 mg/L at the pipe's exit into the plant.

Charcoal samples from Stonehenge in England wereburned in O2, and the resultant CO2 gas bubbled into asolution of Ca(OH)2 (limewater), resulting in the precipitationof CaCO3. The CaCO3 was removed by filtration anddried. A 788-mg sample of the CaCO3 had a radioactivityof 1.5x 10-2 Bq due to carbon-14. By comparison, livingorganisms undergo 15.3 disintegrations per minute pergram of carbon. Using the half-life of carbon-14, 5700 yr,calculate the age of the charcoal sample.
Advection, diffusion, and reaction in a channel Approximately 50 m3 of an agricultural pesticide with an initial concentration of 1.6 × 105 mol/m3 have been spilled into a stream following a train derailment. You have been called in to predict the aqueous concentrations of this pesticide at various points along the stream, and the mass that will be delivered to a lake with critical habitat 70 km downstream. You look up the main component of the pesticide and see that it degrades in water (due to hydrolysis reaction) with a half-life of 1.9 h. The discharge rate of the stream is 75,000 L/min. It has an average depth of 0.3 m and an average width of 1.2 m. a. Calculate the maximum concentration (in mol/L) of the pesticide that will be observed at a town 10 km downstream and at the point where the stream reaches the lake, 70 km downstream.

(4) [Text-problem 4.29] A 90-m³ basement in a residence is found to be contaminated with radon coming from the ground through the floor drains. The concentration of radon in the room is 1.5 Bq L- (becquerels per liter) under steady-state conditions. The room behaves as a CMFR, and the decay of radon is a first-order reaction with a decay rate con- stant of 2.09 × 10-6 s-1. If the source of radon is closed off and the room is vented with radon-free air at a rate of 0.14 m³ s-1, how long will it take to lower the radon concentration to an acceptable level of 0.15 Bq L-¹?
