When Chlorine gas is used to disinfect drinking water, it hydrolyzes with the water to form hypochlorous acid (HOCl, pKa = 7.54), which is a powerful disinfectant. However, when the acid dissociates to its conjugate base, it becomes a less effective disinfectant. The disinfection power of the acid is 88 times better than its conjugate base, OCl-, on a per-mole basis.

  1. Calculate the mass of hypochlorous acid you would need to add to 1 liter of water at pH = 13 to get the same disinfectant power you would get by adding 1 g HOCl to 1 liter of water at pH = 2.0.

Complete the stoichiometry of each reaction, making sure both stoichiometry and charge balance are correct. That is, find the values of the coefficients A, B, C, etc., for each reaction. Show your work and explain your reasoning. [2 Points each]

(a) Oxidation of nitrite to nitrate (a chemoautotrophic process): A·O2 + B·NO2- = C·NO3-

(b) Oxidation of organic matter using nitrite (a step of denitrification, a heterotrophic reaction):

A·CH2O + B·NO2- + C·H+ = D·CO2 + E·N2 + F·H2O
(c) Oxidation of ammonium with nitrite (anammox, a chemoautotrophic process):

A· NH4+ + B·NO2- = C·N2 + D·H2O

[Hint: start by writing the 2 half-reactions for each full reaction, including the number of electrons produced by the oxidation half-reaction, and the numbers of electrons required for the reduction half-reaction. Then balance H+ and H2O if required by stoichiometry, and sum the half reactions, each multiplied by the factor required to have the same number of electrons produced and consumed. End by simplifying terms present in both sides.]

Natural gas is primarily methane, CH4, and is used to heat homes. A typical home is approximately 2000 ft2 and the ceilings are 8 ft high. The following data may be helpful: The heat capacity of air is 1.01 J/g·K and the and the enthalpy of combustion of methane is -890.8 kJ/mol. Assume that the molecular weight of air is the same as nitrogen, its major component. How many grams of methane are required to raise the temperature in the home from 35°F to 66°F? How many grams of CO2 does this reaction produce?
