A) Explain why the presence of alkalinity in raw source water is important for coagulation. Demonstrate you answer using detailed chemical reactions.
b) A raw surface water source with a minimum 12oC design temperature and an alkalinity of 80 mg/L of CaCO3 is planned to be treated for turbidity removal at a water treatment plant. Jar tests showed that the optimum alum dose for turbidity removal is 45 mg/L. Is adequate alkalinity available for complete reaction between alum and water to occur? If no, how much alkalinity should be added in mg/L as CaCO3. Demonstrate your answer with stoichiometric reactions and calculations.
c) What are the three most common destabilization mechanisms for colloids in turbid water, and when
would you expect each of these to occur during a coagulation process?
d) Design a rapid mix unit process (aka, coagulation tank) to mix the alum dose in (b) with raw water, considering a design flowrate to be 2MGD. The water treatment plant manager desires to operate two rapid mix tanks at all times, that will also account for redundancy. The maximum mixing time will be 30 seconds, however, if one tank is out of service, the mixing time must not be less than 10 seconds. Assume minimum design temperature to be 12 oC.
Your design should include the dimensions of each tank and the power imparted to each mixer to achieve a G of 1,000 sec-1 per tank.
Draw a simplified diagram to demonstrate how you will be splitting the flow between the two tanks that you sized.

A5 mole sample of liquid acetone is converted to a gas at 75.0°c. if 628 j are required to raise the temperature of the liquid to the boiling point, 15.600 kj are required to evaporate the liquid, and 712 j are required to raise the final temperature to 75.0°c, what is the total energy required for the conversion?

In november 1987, a massive iceberg broke loose from the antartic ice mass and floated free in the ocean. the chunk of ice was estimated to be 98 mi long, 25 mi wide, and 750 ft thick. a typical backyard swimming pool contains about 24,000 gallons of water. how many of these pools could you fill from the water in this iceberg? (assume the iceberg is a rectangular solid of the above dimensions and consists of water only). express answer in scientific notation.
