The discharge of chromate ions (CrO42-) to sewers or natural waters is of concern because of both its ecological impacts and its effects on human health if the receiving water is later used as a drinking water source. One way in which chromate can be removed from solution is by its reaction with ferrous ions (Fe2+) to form a mixture of chromic hydroxide and ferric hydroxide solids [Cr(OH)3(s) and Fe(OH)3(s), respectively], which can then be filtered out of the water. The overall reaction can be represented as CrO42- + 3 Fe2+ + 8 H2O --> Cr(OH)3(s) + 3 Fe(OH)3(s) + 4 H+
How much particulate matter would be generated daily by this process at a facility that treats 60 m3/h of a waste stream containing 4.0 mg/L Cr, if the treatment reduces the Cr concentration enough to meet a discharge limit of 0.1 mg/L?

45727g

Explanation:

So, have the overall ionic equation given as the following;

CrO42^- + 3 Fe2^+ + 8 H2O > Cr(OH)^3(s) + 3 Fe(OH)^3(s) + 4 H^+.

So, we have (from the question) that the amount or quantity of the waste stream daily = 60m^3/h, and the waste stream daily contains waste stream containing = 4.0 mg/L Cr, and the discharge limit = 0.1 mg/L.

Step one: convert m^3/ h to L/h. Therefore, 60 m^3/h × 1000dm^3 = 60000 L/h .

Step two: Determine or calculate the the value of Cr used up.

The value of Car used up ={ 60,000 × ( 4.0 - 0.1) } ÷ 1000 = 234 g.

Step three: Determine or calculate the mass of Cr(OH)3 and the mass of Fe(OH)3.

The number of moles of Cr = 234/52 = 4.5 moles.

Molar mass of Cr(OH)3 = 103 g/mol and the molar mass of Fe(OH)3 = 106.8 g/mol.

Thus, the mass of Cr(OH)3 = 4.5 × 103 = 463.5 g.

And the mass of Fe(OH)3 = 13.5 × 106.8 = 1441.8 g.

Hence, the total = 463.5 g + 1441.8 g = 1905.3 g.

Step four: Determine or calculate the How much particulate matter would be generated daily.

The amount of the particulate that would be generated daily = 24 × 1905.3 = 45727g.

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.
