A treatment plant uses a CMFR as the reactor for the removal of manganese via an oxidation reaction by the addition of potassium permanganate. If the influent manganese concentration is 0.86 mg/L, the plant has a treatment capacity of 3,800 m3/d, the reactor has a volume of 45 m3, and manganese reacts with potassium permanganate in a first order reaction with a reaction rate constant of 0.0125 s-1, what is the effluent concentration

the effluent concentration is 0.06236 mg/L

Explanation:

Given that;

treatment capacity = 3,800 m³/d =  ( 3,800 × 86.4) =  43.98 L/sec

reactor's volume V = 45 m³ = (45 × 1000) = 45,000 L

reaction rate constant K =  0.0125 s⁻¹

influent manganese concentration = 0.86 mg/L

- =

Now, performance equation for CSTR is expressed as follows;

=

=

So we substitute

45000L / 43.98 L/sec = ( 0.86 mg/L - CA) / 0.0125 CA

we cross multiply

562.5CA = 37.8228 - 43.98CA

562.5CA + 43.98CA = 37.8228

606.48CA = 37.8228

CA = 37.8228 / 606.48

CA = 0.06236 mg/L

Therefore, the effluent concentration is 0.06236 mg/L

question: ray weighs 100 kilograms, his wrestling partner, bobby, weighs 50 kilograms. if ray moves at 4 m s , how fast will bobby have to run at him to apply an equal amount of kinetic energy?

answer: 8 m/s he needs to run twice as fast to keep up so he has some work to do

explanation:   if the mass has units of kilograms and the velocity of meters per second, the kinetic energy has units of kilograms-meters squared per second squared.

every chemical equation adheres to the law of conservation of mass, which states that matter cannot be created or destroyed. therefore, there must be the same number of atoms of each element on each side of a chemical equation.
