Answer to Problem 1DE

Solution: The test for the detection and the quantification of the chemicals involved in fracking operation.

Explanation of Solution

The chemicals involved in fracking operations are hydrochloric acid, sodium chloride, ethylene glycol, borate salt, water soluble gelling agents such as guar gum, citric acid, methanol, isopropanol and methane.

Amongst the above chemicals, hydrochloric acid and citric acid are acidic in nature, sodium chloride is a salt, ethanol and isopropanol are volatile alcohols and the guar gum and ethylene glycol are the viscosity modifier.
The test for the detection of the acids is to check for the pH and compare it with the pH of the regular domestic water. The acids are quantified by the titration using a strong base.

The volatile alcohols are detected and quantified by gas chromatography.

The gelling agents are detected by comparing the viscosity of the sample solution and the regular domestic water. These are quantified by the UV-visible spectroscopy.

The concentrations of all the chemicals are determined to ensure the source is from the fracking operations, since the determination of some chemicals does not ensure the exact source of impurity.

Conclusion

For the detection and the quantification of the chemicals involved in fracking operations, the test based on their physical properties should be designed.

Hi!! Please provide a solution that is handwritten. Ensure all figures, reaction mechanisms (with arrows and lone pairs please!!), and structures are clearly drawn to illustrate the synthesis of the product as per the standards of a third year organic chemistry course. ****the solution must include all steps, mechanisms, and intermediate structures as required. Please hand-draw the mechanisms and structures to support your explanation. Don’t give me AI-generated diagrams or text-based explanations, no wordy explanations on how to draw the structures I need help with the exact mechanism hand drawn by you!!!    I am reposting this—ensure all parts of the question are straightforward and clear or please let another expert handle it thanks!!
