Calculating mass of sulfuric acid to affect pH change? - I have a 2 part question concerning the use of H2SO4 to adjust the pH of a solution:
1. How many grams per liter of H2SO4 is required to adjust the pH of a solution from 3.8 to 2.8 assuming the sulfuric acid fully ionizes?
2. If in reality however, the actual sulfuric acid ionization/dissociation is a 2 step process and not fully ioniz...
A question concerning 1st order and second order kinetics for a hypothetical hazardous waste reactor? - I need help in understanding (in simple terms) first order and second order kinetics for the following:
A waste with a concentration of 0.1 gram per liter is to be introduced to a hazardous waste reactor that is to achieve 90% destruction. A reactant, which is intended to cause an exothermic...
Leachate- from landfills and groundwater - Well I am studying for my groundwater and soil class, and came across a section in my textbook that is not explained very well. It talks about leachate from landfills, but does not go in depth about what it is, and it's effects on groundwater.
Since I am studying for my finals now, time is of the essence... can anyone explain to me what leachate fro...
Landfill Leachate- Groundwater- Proof read - I am just trying to summarize what Landfill Leachate does to groundwater, and am hoping you can read this over to see if it makes sense and flows. Also, am I missing anything extremely important?
I appreciate your expertise in reading this over.. It is extremely important to me.
The parts I am most concerned with are the highlighted areas. I am n...
