A. Formaldehyde is commonly found in the indoor air of improperly designed and the constructed buildings. If the concentration of formaldehyde in a home is 1.0 ppmv and the inside of the room is 1000m3, what mass (grams) of formaldehyde vapor is inside the home? Assume T=30 degree Celsius and P = 1tam. The molecular weight of formaldehyde is 30. R =80205 x 10-5 atm, =.m3/mole. K.
B. A 3.5 million gallon water reservoir in Avila Beach in California was contaminated by oxygenated gasoline containing 0.5% by weight of MBTE when the pipeline busted. If the estimated volume of gasoline released into the reservoir was 10000 gallons and the specific gravity of gasoline is 0.880 calculate in ppb the concentrations of
i. Gasoline in the reservoir
ii. MBTE in the reservoir
A. Total Hardness:
Total hardness as CaCo3
B. Alkalinity < Total Hardness
