Please help me with this conversion factors with lables on it. Please show me the work.
In wastewater treatment plants, ammonium ion is removed from the water by raising the pH to form ammonia in an air stripping process described on p 65, in the textbook. This is the equilibrium reaction that describes the process of ammonium conversion to ammonia:
NH4+ ⇄ NH3,aq + H+
Ammonia in the water then readily converts to ammonia gas,
a) Plot a graph showing the concentration of ammonium ion as a function of pH. Use an Excel spreadsheet.b) If the wastewater pH is raised to 10, what fraction of ammonium ion did not react to form ammonia?

- A drinking water treatment plant wants to compare the efficacy of three different solid coagulants, Alum [Al(OH)3(s)], Lime (CaCO3(s)), and Ferric Chloride (FeCl3(s)), for removing the phosphate (PO43-) level to 1 mg/L. The following are the equilibrium reactions [and the respective equilibrium constants (or solubility products, Ksp)] that result in phosphate removalfor each solid, the second reaction being more relevant in each case: Alum: Al(OH)3(s) ↔ Al3+ + 3OH- AlPO4(s) ↔ Al3+ + PO43- Ksp = 9.84 x 10-21 Lime: CaCO3(s) ↔ Ca2+ + CO32- Ca3(PO4)2(s) ↔ Ca2+ + PO43- Ksp = 1 x10-27 Ferric Chloride: FeCl3 (s) ↔ Fe3+ + 3Cl- Fe(PO4)(s) ↔ Fe3+ + PO43- Ksp = 1x10-26.4 What concentrations of Fe 3+, Al3+, and Ca2+ will be needed to maintain a phosphate concentration of 1 mg/L?

- When chlorine (Cl2) gas is added to water during the disinfection of drinking water, it hydrolyzes with the water to form hypochlorous acid (HOCI). The disinfection power of the acid HOCI is 88 times better than its conjugate base, OCI". The pKa for HOCI is 7.5. Because the acidic form is a much better disinfectant, you want to maintain 89% of the total molar concentration in this form. What minimum pH should you target?
