Certain solid substances, known as hydrated compounds, have well-defined molecular ratios of water to some other species. for example, calcium sulfate dihydrate (commonly known as gypsum, caso4*2h2o), has 2 moles of water per mole of calcium sulfate; alternatively, it may be said that 1 mole of gypsum consists of 1 mole of calcium sulfate and 2 moles of water. the water in such substances is called water of hydration. in order to eliminate the dishcarge of sulfuric acid into the environment, a process has been developed in which the acid is reacted with aragonite (caco3) to produce calcium sulfate. the calcium sulfate then comes out of solution in a crystallizer to form a slurry of solid gypsum particles suspended in an aqueous caso4 solution. the slurry flows from the crystallizer to a filter in which the particles are collected as a filter cake. the filter cake, which is 95.0 wt% solid gypsum and the remainder caso4 solution, is fed to a dryer in which all water (including the water of hydration in the crystals) is driven off to yield anhydrous caso4 as product. solids content of slurry leaving crystallizer: .35kg caso4*2h2o/l slurrycaso4 content of slurry liquid: .209g caso4/100g h2ospecific gravitites: caso4*h2o(s), 2.32; liquid solutions, 1.05a) briefly explain in your own words the functions of the three units (crystallizer, filter, and dryer).b) take a basis of one liter of solution leaving the crystallizer and calculate the mass (kg) and volume (l) of solid gypsum, the mass of caso4 in the gypsum, and the mass of caso4 in the liquid solution. c) calculate the percentage recovery of caso4--that is, the precentage of the total caso4 (precipitate plus dissolved) leaving the crystallizer recovered as solid anhydrous caso4.d) list five potential negative consequences of discharging h2so4 into the river passing the plant.

How do temperature and salinity affect deepwater currents? as temperatures and salinity levels of water increase, the water rises to the surface where it creates currents as it moves to colder regions. they create changes in wind direction, moving denser water in the same direction as the wind and causing the deepwater circulation patterns found in the ocean. they equalize the forces on undersea currents caused by the coriolis effect as they replace more dense water with less dense water. they create density differences that cause dense deepwater currents to flow toward the equator where they displace less dense, warmer water above them.

The size (radius) of an oxygen molecule is about 2.0 ×10−10m. make a rough estimate of the pressure at which the finite volume of the molecules should cause noticeable deviations from ideal-gas behavior at ordinary temperatures (t= 300k ). assume that deviatons would be noticeable when volume of the gas per molecule equals the volume of the molecule itself.
