Dolomite, [CaMg(CO3)2] is found in a soil sample. A geochemist titrates 24.65 g of soil with 57.85 mL of 0.3315M HCl. What is the mass % of dolomite in the soil? ( Write answer to two decimal places, ex. 15.77) Following is the acid/base reaction which occurs during the titration: CO3-2(aq) + HCl(aq) --> HCO3-(aq) + Cl-(aq)

Net Present Value Analysis: You have found a residential complex that has been vacated. It will cost you $5m. You decide that it will cost you $1m to repair and will take one year (payable end of year 1). At the end of year 1 you will have the complex half full giving a positive cash flow of $500,000 p.a. from year 2 (receivable from the end of year 2). And after one more year it will be full, giving...

A sample of biological culture was submitted to a chemical laboratory for analysis of the percentage by weight of each major element. The composition of the cells by weight was found to be 48.9% C, 5.2% H, 24.8% O, 9.46% N, and 9.2% ash. Prepare an empirical formula for the cells Determine the COD/organic weight ratio for the cell Determine the theoretical oxygen demand including both COD and NOD (nitrification oxygen demand) If the organics are 80% biodegradable, what is...
