The Flint water crisis began in 2014 when the city of Flint, Michigan switched its drinking water supply from the Detroit system to the Flint River. How did that change result in increases of lead in drinking water? You must use chemical equations and describe how the equilibria shift with changing pH.

In order to provide drinking water as part of its 50-year plan, a west coast city is considering constructing a pipeline for importing water from a nearby community that has a plentiful supply of brackish ground water. A full-sized pipeline can be constructed at a cost of $95 million now. Alternatively, a smaller pipeline can be constructed now for $75 million and enlarged 18 years from now for another $110 million. The pumping cost will be $25,000 per year higher...

A single lake (referred to as the “City Reservoir”) provides all the drinking water for a city. The city wants to reduce risks to its water supply by adding a second lake as an additional water source. Two lakes are under consideration and only one will be used. The first lake is located next to the current City Reservoir which allows the city to reduce costs by sharing the single original water pipe from the Reservoir to city. The second...

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. Calculate the mass of hypochlorous acid you would need to add to 1 liter of water at pH =...
