Wetlands can play a significant role in removing fertilizer residues from rain runoff and groundwater; one way they do this is through denitrification, which converts nitrate ions to nitrogen gas: $$2NO − 3(aq)+5CO(g)+2H+(aq) N2(g)+H2O(l)+5CO2(g) Suppose 375.00 g of NO3- flows into a swamp each day. What volume of N2 would be produced each day at 17°C and 1.00 atm if the denitrification process were complete? What volume of CO2 would be produced each day? Suppose the gas mixture produced by the decomposition reaction is trapped in a container at 17°C; what is the density of the mixture assuming Ptotal = 1.00 atm? Please report all of your answers to 2 decimal places. volume of N2 ___ L volume of CO2 ___ L density ___ g/L
first of all we need to write the balanced chemical reaction:
2NO-3(aq) + 5CO(g) + 2H+(aq) -----> N2(g)+H2O(l)+5CO2(g)
we see that all the atoms are balanced and hence the reaction
now we need to write stoichometric conversion factor for N2 to NO-3 which is 1 mole N2 / 2 mole NO-3
and CO2 toNO-3 is 5 mole CO2 / 2 mole NO-3
molar mass of NO3- is 62.00 g/mol
moles of NO3- = mass / molar mass = 375g/62.00 g/mol = 6.05 moles
using stoichiometric conversion factor N2 produced is 1 mole N2 / 2 mole NO-3 x 6.05 mole NO-3
= 3.025 mole N2
mass of N2 produced = moles x molar mass = 3.025 x 28 = 84.7 g
simlarly for CO2 = 5 mole CO2 / 2 mole NO-3 x 6.05 mole NO-3 = 15.125 moles CO2
mass of CO2 produced = 15.125 x 44 = 665.5g
total mass = 750.2g
converting moles to volume using ideal gas equation
17oC = 17 + 273 = 290K
VN2 = nRT/P = 3.025 x 0.0821 x 290/1 = 72.02 L
for VCO2 = 15.125 x 0.0821 x 290/1 = 360.11 L
density = mass/volume
750.2g/(72.02 + 360.11)
density = 1.74 g/L

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...
