Assuming a planar surface, calculate how long it will take to dissolve 1 mm thick layer from the mineral. The dissolution rate is a zeroth-order reaction

Mineral	Formula	Density (g/cm³)	Log Rate (mol/m²)	pH	Concentration (moles/L)	Temperature (°C)
Quartz	SiO²	2.65	-13.39	5	0.00001	25

Expert Solution

First calculate the number of moles dissolved from a 1 m² area and 1 mm thickness.

The volume dissolved is 100 dm² x 0.01 dm = 1 dm³ = 1000 cm³

The mass dissolved is 1000 cm³ x 2.65 g/cm³ = 2650 g

The molar mass of SiO2 is 60.08 g/mol

The quantity dissolved is

2650 g / 60.08 g/mol = 44.11 mol SiO₂ / (m2.mm)

Then calculate the dissolution rate ( in fact a rate constant) :

Rate = 10^-13.39 = 4.074x10^-14 mol/m²

The measurement unit for rate is wrong. It is in fact

4.074x10^-14 mol/ (m².s) (for dissolution in water, acidic pH)

The integral rate law of dissolution is

Quantity dissolved = rate x time

44.11 mol SiO₂ / (m2.mm) x 1 mm = 4.074x10^-14 mol/ (m².s) x t

t = 1.083x10¹⁵ s

The other data are useless.

A 38-mm thick HMA surface course is to be designed to carry 15,000,000 ESALs during the life of the pavement. A 9.5-mm nominal size aggregate is required. The aggregates shown in Table 4-14 are available for use. The control limits and restricted zone boundary are shown in Table 4-10. Based on environmental information, a PG 64-22 is used as the binder. Design a HMA mix according to the Superpave method.

Calculate the wave propagation speed for a 100-?m-thick blood vessel with a radius of 10 mm. This blood vessel has a pressure of 85 mmHg and a Young’s modulus of 12.5 kPa. Under disease conditions, the vascular wall can stiffen so that the Young’s modulus approaches 30 kPa. Calculate the change in the wave speed under these conditions. What blood vessel property is likely to change in response to the increase in stiffness and why?
