Calculate the length (in angstroms) of the acyl "tails" of two fatty acids, each 17 carbons long, that are stacked end-to-end. Remember that these carbons are sp3hybridized (so the bond angles are 109.5 degrees) and the length of a carbon-to-carbon bond is 1.54 angstroms. You will have to do some trigonometry on this one. Report your answer to the nearest ones.

10. Write a one-page summary of the attached paper? INTRODUCTION Many problems can develop in activated sludge operation that adversely affect effluent quality with origins in the engineering, hydraulic and microbiological components of the process. The real "heart" of the activated sludge system is the development and maintenance of a mixed microbial culture (activated sludge) that treats wastewater and which can be managed. One definition of a wastewater treatment plant operator is a "bug farmer", one who controls the aeration...
