Assume that a pile of waste contains 340.0 mg/L of biodegradable CH2O and is processed through a 200000.0 L/day sewage treatment plant which converts 40% of the waste to CO2 and H2O. Calculate the volume of air (at 25 degrees, 1 atm) required for this conversion. Assume that the O2 is transferred to the water with 20% efficiency.

Solution Summary

The solution provides clear steps to completing the problem of finding the volume of air necessary to convert some waste CO2 to water.

Solution Preview

Now then, the steps to a response would be:

a) What mass of CH2O is consumed in a day? Multiply the concentration by the processing rate...
b) How many moles of CH2O is this?
Remember that amount (no ...
