Biota can uptake and bioconcentrate compounds through vapor phase absorption. For example, leaves exposed to elemental mercury vapors will absorb the mercury into the aqueous phase and the lipid phases of the leaves. Kow for mercury = 4.17. It readily absorbs into lipids and proteins, as well as dissolves into water. Therefore, the LFER describing the equilibrium distribution of elemental mercury between leaves and the vapor phase (Kla = C(leaf)/C(air)) includes terms specifically for the percentage of lipids and water in a leaf. Also, leaves contain air cavities which will include the mercury laden vapor. Kla = a + bKwa + cKoa a= the percentage of leaf that in an air vacuole (0.2), b = the percentage of water in a leaf (0.7), and c = the percentage of lipids in a leaf (0.02). Kwa is the water-air distribution coefficient (i.e. Kh = 9.3 x 10^-2 M/atm at 25 C for elemental Hg) and Koa is the octonal-air distribution coefficient for Hg. If wet leaf density is 890 kg/m^3 and the background mercury vapor concentration is 3 ng/m^3, what is the equilibrium concentration of elemental mercury in the leaf?
A civil engineering student contends that 60 mph is safe in a van because of the higher driver's eye height. If all other design inputs are standard, what must the driver's eye height in the van be for the student's claim to be valid
Water flows through a horizotal 45 deg reducing bend with a 36 inch. diameter upstream and a 24 inch diameter downstream, at the rate of 20 cfs under a pressure of 15 psi at the upstream end of the bend. Neglecting head loss in the bend, calculate..
Based on volume of a sphere V=4/3(pi)r^3, create a table of volume vs. radius allowing radius to vary from 2.0 to 10.0 cm in 1 cm increments. Graph the data from the table on log-log paper using radius as the independent variable.
The plant currently has one CMFR for removal of chromium. How many more identical reactors does the sony music company require to meet the regulatory requirements for chromium discharge of 0.01 mg/L into the Pitman Sewer?
An outdoor track is 125m in diameter. A runner increases her speed at a constant rate from 4 to 7 m/s over a distance of 30m. Determine the magnitude of the total acceleration of the runner 2 s after she begins to increase her speed.
The undeformed length of the spring is l. Knowing that the collar is released from rest at x = and neglecting friction between the collar and the horizontal rod, determine the magnitude of the velocity of the collar as it passes through point C.
A gas stream contains 18.0 mole% hexane and the remainder nitrogen. The stream flows to a condenser, where its temperature is reduced and some of the hexane is liquefied. The hexane mole fraction in the gas stream leaving the condenser is 0.0500.
