Chapter 1, Problem 81IAE
The Greater Vancouver Regional District (GVRO) chlorinates the water supply of the region at the rate of 1 ppm. that is, 1 kilogram of chlorine per million kilograms of water. The chlorine is introduced in the form of sodium hypochlorite, which is 47.62% chlorine. The population of theGVRD is 1.8 million persons. If each person uses 750 L of water per day, how many kilograms of sodium hypochlorite must be added to the water supply each week to produce the required chlorine level of 1 ppm?

company claims their process takes 2.01 days to remove 36.00 kg of arsenic from a water source.
Calculate the total mass, in kilograms, of arsenic in the lake that the company will have to remove if the total volume of
water in the lake is 0.770 km³.

- Suppose that you are closing a cabin in the north woods for the winter and you do not want the water in the toilet tank to freeze. You know that the temperature might get as low as 30. C, and you want to protect about 4.0 L water in the toilet tank from freezing. Calculate the volume of ethylene glycol (density = 1.113 g/mL; molar mass = 62.1 g/mol) you should add to the 4.0 L water.arrow_forwardUsing stoichiometry, you calculate that you will create 0.43 moles of carbon dioxide when you react baking soda with vinegar to fill up a balloon. After doing the experiment you calculate the volume of the balloon by using water displacement to be 16 cups. If the temperature in the room is 25 °C and the pressure is 1 atm, what is the percent error between the volume the balloon should be and the volume it reached. 1 cup = 236.6 ml.arrow_forwardThe temperature of your water was 22.4 degrees Celsius. The volume of hydrogen collected was 30.2 mL. The atmospheric pressure in the lab room was 29.95 inches Hg. The difference in the water level between the beaker and the burette is 17.3 cm.

- On December 1, 1783, Jacque Charles became the first human to pilot a non-tethered hydrogen balloon. He flew the balloon for fifteen miles and stayed in the air for a total flight time of 45 minutes. The balloon was made of silk coated with a thin layer of natural rubber and had a diameter of 27 feet. He generated the hydrogen gas needed to lift the balloon by mixing a large amount of iron with aqueous sulfuric acid. If he used 1 x 103 lbs. of iron and excess sulfuric acid, how many liters of hydrogen gas were made? Fe(s) + H2SO4(aq) = FeSO4 (aq) + H2(g)arrow_forwardP1A.10 Ozone is a trace atmospheric gas which plays an important role in screening the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation, and the abundance of ozone is commonly reported in Dobson units. Imagine a column passing up through the atmosphere. The total amount of O3 in the column divided by its cross-sectional area is reported in Dobson units with 1 Du =0.4462 mmol m−2. What amount of O3 (in moles) is found in a column of atmosphere with a cross-sectional area of 1.00 dm2 if the abundance is 250 Dobson units (a typical midlatitude value)? In the seasonal Antarctic ozone hole, the column abundance drops below 100 Dobson units; how many moles of O3 are found in such a column of air above a 1.00 dm2 area? Most atmospheric ozone is found between 10 and 50 km above the surface of the Earth. If that ozone is spread uniformly through this portion of the atmosphere, what is the average molar concentration corresponding to (a) 250 Dobson units, (b) 100 Dobson units?arrow_forwardArchimedes tells us the lifting power of a balloon (how much mass it can lift) is equal to the difference between the mass of the balloon and the mass of the air it displaces. That is, if the balloon occupies the same volume as 10 kg of air, but the balloon only weighs 2 kg, then the gas density kg 0.090 3 m H, balloon can lift 8 kg. Airships have sometimes been filled with hydrogen (H,), but hydrogen is very flammable, and kg 0.18 Не m after the Hindenburg caught fire and crashed in 1937 with serious loss of life airships have nearly always been filled with helium (He) instead. kg 1.23 3 m' air Suppose a new airship Star of Balogna will have the shape of a cylinder 100. m long, with a radius of 15.0 m, and will weigh 9400. kg without any gas inside it.
