- An artificial kidney is a device that removes water and wastes from the blood. In one such device, i.e., the hollow fiber hemodialyzer, blood flows from an artery through the insides of a bundle of cellulose acetate fibers. Dialyzing fluid, which consists of water and various dissolved salts, flows on the outside of the fibers. Water and wastes-principally urea, creatinine, uric acid, and phosphate ions-pass through the fiber walls into the dialyzing fluid, and the purified blood is returned to a vein. At some time during the dialysis of a patient in kidney failure, the arterial and venous blood conditions are as follows: Flow rate (mL min-1) Urea concentration (mg mL-1) Arterial Blood-In 200 1.90 Venous Blood-Out 195 1.75 Calculate the rate at which water is being removed from the blood.

The plan involved placing pontoons within the ship using a surface-controlled submarine-type vessel. The pontoons would contain cathodes and would be filled with hydrogen gas formed by the electrolysis of water. It has been estimated that it would require about 7 * 108 mol of H2 to provide the buoyancy to lift the ship (J. Chem. Educ., 1973, Vol. 50, 61).

- The most dangerous particles in polluted air are those with diameters less than 2.5 μm because they can penetrate deeply into the lungs. A 15-cm-tall closed container holds a sample of polluted air containing many spherical particles with a diameter of 2.5 μm and a mass of 2.6 x 10-14 kg. How long does it take for all of the particles to settle to the bottom of the container?arrow_forwardJanice is grilling a steak for her July 4th barbecue dinner. The steak initially weighs 300 grams and is 25 mm thick. After grilling it for a while, she considers the steak done, and measures it again: it now weighs 215 grams, and is 15 mm thick. For both the cooked and uncooked steak, she uses the thumb-test to determine the done-ness, i.e. she uses her thumb (area ~5cm2) to push down with a force of 5 N. The uncooked steak compresses by 7 mm, and the cooked steak by 2 mm. The change in elasticity of the steak on cooking is due partly to the loss of water volume (so that existing bonds get closer together) and partly to the creation of new bonds. Assume all of the difference in raw vs. cooked steak thickness is due to water loss that makes it thinner (25 mm thick in the uncooked steak, versus 15 mm thick in the cooked steak), and that the other dimensions of the steak (length and width) have not changed. By what percentage has the steak's volume decreased from the original value?…arrow_forwardJanice is grilling a steak for her July 4th barbecue dinner.

- Two large tanks, each holding 100 L of liquid, are interconnected by pipes, with the liquid flowing from tank A into tank B at a rate of 4 L/min and from B into A at a rate of 1 L/min. The liquid inside each tank is kept well stirred. A brine solution with a concentration of 0.3 kg/L of salt flows into tank A at a rate of 8 L/min. The (diluted) solution flows out of the system from tank A at 5 L/min and from tank B at 3 L/min.
