A mixture of benzene and toluene is in a tank whose pressure is maintained at 2.0 atm. Observation through a sight glass on the vessel shows that half of the tank volume is occupied by liquid. Analysis shows that the liquid contains 50.0 wt% benzene and the balance toluene. Raoult's law applies at all composition s, and the density of the liquid is essentially independent of temperature. Estimate (a) the temperature and (b) the fraction of the system mass in the liquid phase

A municipal water treatment plant is designed to produce 20 million gallons per day (MGD) of potable water. The plant treats surface water using coagulation followed by sedimentation, filtration, and chlorination. Although the water is hard, it is not presently softened. The water is coagulated using a 30 mg/L dosage of alum (aluminum sulfate, Al2(SO4)3•14.3H2O, MW = 600). This chemical reacts in water to form Al(OH)3 as follows:

Al2(SO4)3 + 6HCO3- → 2Al(OH)3(s) + 3SO4-2 + 6CO2

How many mg/L of bicarbonate (alkalinity) will be "consumed" (converted to CO2) when the

alumisadded? (AWs: Al=27,S=32,C=12,0=16,H=1,Ca=40)

Estimate the pH of the water following coagulant addition. Assume an initial bicarbonate concentration of 244 mg/L and water initially in equilibrium with the atmosphere (i.e., H2CO3* = 10-5 M). (Hints: assume negligible loss of CO2 to the atmosphere from the deep basins used for treatment; adjust the concentrations of HCO3- and H2CO3*, based on your answer to Problem 1; then use the expression for K1 to solve for [H+] following coagulant addition. Assume [OH-] and [CO3-2] are negligible.)

How many mg/L of hydrated lime, Ca(OH)2, would be needed to keep the pH constant when the alum is added? Hint: the neutralization reaction can be represented as follows:

Al2(SO4)3 + 3Ca(OH)2 → 2Al(OH)3 + 3Ca+2 + 3SO4-2

To a 100.0 mL volumetric flask were added 7.00 mL of 1.70 M of H3VO4, 1.401 g of NaH2VO4, and 15.00 mL of 1.5 M NaOH. The flask was filled to the calibration mark with water. What were the molar concentrations of H+, OH-, the two other relevant molecules and the pH of the solution? Is the resulting solution a buffer? Ka1 = 1.0 x 10-4, Ka2 = 2.8 x 10-9 and Ka3 = 5.0 x 10-15 for H3VO4.

(a) How many grams of CaCl2 are needed to make 798.0 g of a solution that is 32.5% (m/m) calcium chloride in water? Note that mass is not technically the same thing as weight, but (m/m) has the same meaning as (w/w).

-How many grams of water are needed to make this solution?

(b) What is the volume percent % (v/v) of an alcohol solution made by dissolving 147 mL of isopropyl alcohol in 731 mL of water? (Assume that volumes are additive.)

(c) The mass of solute per 100 mL of solution is abbreviated as % (m/v). (The abbreviation % (w/v) is also common.) How many grams of sucrose are needed to make 915 mL of a 38.0% (w/v) sucrose solution?
