What is the concentration of ions in the soil solution after fertilizer application? Suppose that 122 pounds of K+ were applied per acre, then a gentle rain soaked the top 10 inches of soil to field capacity, which for the given soil was about 16% water by volume. If the K+ was applied as KCl, it is plausible that it all dissolved and distributed relatively uniformly with the infiltrating water. If so, then what was the K+ concentration in the soil solution in mol K+/L solution? Note that the volume can be computed like we do for an acre-furrow-slice (AFS), as area times depth. This is going to be a relatively small number, so please report your answer in mol K+/L solution to at least 5 decimal places.

Previous records had shown that to prevent acute toxicity to organisms, the maximum mass of CdSO4 that should be allowed into the landfill was determined to be 0.1 kg. This was calculated using a standard concentration of Cd in mg/L where the volume of the leachate pond was used as 500 000L. You need to ensure that the concentration used to determine the mass of Cd allowed in the landfill, meets the current regulatory standard. Assuming that previous calculations determined that all of the CdSO4 would be deposited in the leachate pond, what standard concentration of Cd in mg/L was used to determine the maximum mass of allowable CdSO4?
A soil sample taken from a hill reveals that soil solution in the top 30 cm of soil contains 900 micromoles Ca/L. Imagine that the grass growing on this hill has a water use efficiency of 400 g H20/g dry matter. Calcium is considered to be sufficient when between 1-2% of the dry matter. Calculate the calcium content in the soil's dry matter and determine if the level is sufficient.
The research group has recently focused on identifying the chemical properties of fluorocarbons, such as CF4 and C2F4. These fluorocarbons display a very different reactivity compared to hydrocarbons. Teflon (C2F4)n is a fluoropolymer. When Teflon is mixed with silica at high temperature, all solid decomposes into gases. Write down the reactions that can take place during the process and explain your reasoning.
In the first part of this experiment, sodium percarbonate will be dissolved in water: Na2CO3·n H2O2(s) → 2 Na+(aq) + CO32–(aq) + n H2O2(aq) The hydrogen peroxide thus generated will be consumed by iodide and sulfuric acid: H2O2(aq) + 2 H+(aq) + 3 I– → 2 H2O(l) + I3–(aq) Finally, the triiodide anion will be consumed by added thiosulfate: 2 S2O32–(aq) + I3–(aq) → S4O62–(aq) + 3 I–(aq) Considering these chemical equations, if 0.416 millimoles (mmol) of thiosulfate were needed to completely consume all of the triiodide generated in reaction 2, how many millimoles of hydrogen peroxide were present in the original sodium percarbonate sample? Enter your response to the nearest 0.001 mmol.

A mixture of solid chlorides was known to contain some or all of the following cations: Ag ,Al^3+Cr^3+,Ca^2+,and/or Zn^2+ . A student performed the following steps: 1.Water was added to the solid and the mixture was stirred well. After several minutes, some of the solid did not dissolve. The mixture was centrifuged and the supernatant was decanted from the solid (solution A). 2. NH4CI(aq) was added to solution A followed by NH3(aq) until the solution was basic to litmus. A gray-green precipitate was formed. The mixture was centrifuged and the supernatant (solution B) was decanted. The solid dissolved in NaOH(aq) and H2O2(aq) to form a light yellow solution. The solution was heated to dryness to remove the H2O2 and the solid was redissolved in HCI(aq). When ammonia was added to make the solution basic, a light yellow solution formed and no solid precipitated. 3. (NH4)2C204(aq) was added to solution B, and a precipitate formed. The mixture was centrifuged and the supernatant (solution C)…
The rare earth element gadolinium is often used as a contrasting agent for MRIs. The concentration of gadolinium was measured in the discharge from a wastewater treatment plant near a large medical facility.

Industrial wastewater containing a high concentration of ammonia is blown with air. the pH of the wastewater is strong alkali. Would air injection remove ammonia? provide your answer.
A 1.250 g sample of bauxite (the primary ore of aluminum) was analyzed for aluminum. The sample was powderized and treated in concentrated nitric acid. The nitric acid was removed and solids were treated in hot water with added nitric acid. Insoluble solids were removed by gravity filtration. The solution was made basic by the slow addition of dilute ammonia forming the gelatinous precipitate (Al(OH), and Al,O,.x H2O). The precipitate was heated to coagulate it then filtered over filter paper. The paper and solids were placed in a porcelain crucible and the paper was ashed while the precipitate was ignited at 600°C to convert the precipitate to pure Al,O,. The mass of Al,O, recovered was 0.2890 g. The average mass of ash after charring 10 sheets of the identical filter paper was 0.0007 g. Calculate the percent aluminum in the bauxite ore sample.
