It is common practice to dump strong acids and bases (nitric, sulfuric, NaOH ect.) down the drain into the water supply after dilution and mixing with sodium bicarbonate. Are sanitary plants able to filter out 100% of these chemicals before being put back into circulation or the enviornment? What are the possible health and enviornmental effects of this practice?

Unlike strong acids and bases that ionize completely in solution, weak acids or bases partially ionize. The tendency to ionize (i.e., the ionic strength) of a weak acid or base can be quantified in several ways including Ka or Kb, pKa or pKb, and percent ionization. Part A Pyridine is a weak base that is used in the manufacture of pesticides and plastic resins. It is also a component of cigarette smoke. Pyridine ionizes in water as follows: C5H5N+H2O⇌C5H5NH++OH− The...
