- 132 kJ of work is transferred from a system to its surroundings in a reversible process to get it from state A to state B. If a similar but irreversible process is performed from state A to state B with a thermodynamic efficiency of 0.73, how much work will be transferred, in kJ?

At the Paso Robles Wastewater Treatment plant, they add MgCl2 to the pressate (concentrated liquid pressed from sludge) to precipitate phosphate as the mineral struvite. Struvite is formed by the reaction of phosphate with magnesium ions and ammonium, and the solubility product for struvite is 5.5x10-14. The ammonium concentration is very high at 300 mg N-NH4/L because the sludge is coming from an anaerobic digester. What minimum amount of MgCl2 (in mg/L) would be needed to precipitate all but 1 mg/L phosphate? Struvite precipitates by the following reaction: Mg++NH] +PO →MgNH PO 4 4 4arrow_forward
