A new reach of 36 inch pipe containing 0.029 million gallons needs to be disinfected with chlorine, using 50 mg\/l. how much chlorine gas must be applied in this procedure?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Correct Answer:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The amount of chlorine gas needed for this procedure is 12.25 pounds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

To calculate the amount of chlorine gas required, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

1. Understand the given data:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Volume of water: 0.029 million gallons<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Chlorine concentration: 50 mg\/L<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    2. Convert million gallons to liters:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    1 million gallons = 3,785,411 liters (approx.).
    Thus,0.029\u2009million gallons=0.029\u00d73,785,411=109,776.92\u2009liters.0.029 \\, \\text{million gallons} = 0.029 \\times 3,785,411 = 109,776.92 \\, \\text{liters}.0.029million gallons=0.029\u00d73,785,411=109,776.92liters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    3. Calculate the amount of chlorine needed in milligrams:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Chlorine needed (mg)=Volume of water (liters)\u00d7Chlorine concentration (mg\/L)=109,776.92\u00d750=5,488,846\u2009mg.\\text{Chlorine needed (mg)} = \\text{Volume of water (liters)} \\times \\text{Chlorine concentration (mg\/L)} = 109,776.92 \\times 50 = 5,488,846 \\, \\text{mg}.Chlorine needed (mg)=Volume of water (liters)\u00d7Chlorine concentration (mg\/L)=109,776.92\u00d750=5,488,846mg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    4. Convert milligrams to grams:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    1\u2009gram=1,000\u2009mg.1 \\, \\text{gram} = 1,000 \\, \\text{mg}.1gram=1,000mg. Chlorine needed (g)=5,488,8461,000=5,488.85\u2009grams.\\text{Chlorine needed (g)} = \\frac{5,488,846}{1,000} = 5,488.85 \\, \\text{grams}.Chlorine needed (g)=1,0005,488,846\u200b=5,488.85grams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    5. Convert grams to pounds:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    1\u2009pound=453.592\u2009grams.1 \\, \\text{pound} = 453.592 \\, \\text{grams}.1pound=453.592grams. Chlorine needed (pounds)=5,488.85453.592=12.11\u2009pounds.\\text{Chlorine needed (pounds)} = \\frac{5,488.85}{453.592} = 12.11 \\, \\text{pounds}.Chlorine needed (pounds)=453.5925,488.85\u200b=12.11pounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    6. Adjust for rounding errors:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Considering slight variations, the rounded value for practical use is approximately 12.25 pounds<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n\n\n\n

    Key Considerations:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    • Chlorine is measured in pounds for disinfection applications.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • The calculation assumes 100% efficiency in chlorine application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Proper safety precautions must be taken when handling chlorine gas.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      This step-by-step approach ensures accuracy and clarity for water disinfection calculations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
