Could you please do a unit analysis on Riedel and Antoine equation to determine the units of the empirical coefficients. Pressures in kPa and temperatures in Kelvin.
Riedel equation : lnP(T) = Ar + Br/T + Cr.ln(T) + Dr.T6
Antoine equation: lnP(T) = Aa - Ba/(Ca+T)

I know this is multiple questions, I am going to post it six times each time asking for a different question, but I also know these questions build off each other so I couldn't just post the prompt and one question without the others.
Please answer question 4 (or it all :D)
An existing industrial wastewater treatment plant fails to treat
a new chemical, pentachlorophenol, leaving the facility in its
waste stream. A concentration of 100 μg/L pentachlorophenol now
passes through the wastewater treatment plant and is released into
the Willimantic River (a class B water) that is stocked with trout.
UConn draws drinking water from a well field adjacent to the
Willimantic River. The wastewater treatment plant releases an
average flow of 0.2 MGD into the river. The average flow of the
Willimantic River just upstream
of the treatment plant is 100 cfs (ft3/s). Based on the chemical
nature of pentachlorophenol, it adsorbs to the sediment as it
travels downstream, resulting in a loss rate of about
0.01/day.
Answer the following questions:
1. Draw the system, a control volume, and label all knowns and
unknowns, inputs, outputs, sources or transformations.
2. Identify the regulations that apply to the contaminant in this
scenario and state the specific regulation and the maximum
concentration that should not be exceeded to protect aquatic life
and human health.
3. What are the risks posed by the contamination in this system?
Identify all concerns you may have given the contaminant and the
exposure in the environment. Justify this based on research on how
the contaminant behaves in the environment and how people use the
river.
4. Calculate the maximum concentration of pentachlorophenol
in the stream right where it enters the Willimantic River. Draw
what the concentration (y-axis) would be in the stream vs. distance
and vs. time (x-axis). Estimate and justify any other parameters
you may need.
5. Estimate at what distance downstream will the contaminant
concentration meet the aquatic life criteria?
6. Research and explain two treatment processes that could be
installed at the treatment plant to reduce the pentachlorophenol
concentration. Explain the process and why it works for this
particular chemical.

Calculate the necessary pump horsepower across a system, along with the pressure developed in the pump for a system containing a liquid solution with a density of 1220 kg/m3 , moving at a volumetric flow rate of 0.56 m3 /min. The liquid initially sits in a large open storage tank and is transferred to the pump via a schedule 80 stainless steel pipe with a nominal diameter of 4 in. The discharge pipe (also schedule 80 stainless steel) from the pump has an inner diameter of 2.5 in. The liquid discharges to an open tank, 21 m above the liquid level of the feed storage tank. The flow through this system can be assumed turbulent and the total friction loss is 30 J/kg. The pump has an efficient of 83%.
