1. Copper sulfate is commonly used for controlling algae in lakes and reservoirs. If an
area of 2200 ft (670 m) long and 790 ft (240 m) wide is to be treated with an application
rate of 1.5 lb per surface acre (1.83 kg/ha), how much copper sulfate is needed?

2. A cylinder tank has a diameter of 20 ft. Liquid alum is filled to a depth of 7.8 ft. What
is the volume (gal) of alum?

3. Laboratory-use sulfuric acid has 96.2% strength or purity. Its specific gravity is 1.84.
Compute (a) the total weight in grams per liter, (b) the weight of acid in grams per liter,
(c) pounds of sulfuric acid per cubic foot, (d) pounds of acid per gallon, (e) the
molecular weight of acid (H2SO4), and (f ) the volume (mL) of concentrated acid
required to prepare 1.0 L of 0.1 N solution.

4. Sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is used as the base in acidbase titrations. It has a molecular
weight of 40 (23 for Na + 16 for O + 1 for H). How many grams of NaOH are needed
to prepare 500 mL of a 0.25 N (normal) solution?

5. Calculate the pH values for two solutions: (a) in which [OH-] is 0.001 mole; (b) in a
solution [OH-] is 2.5 X 10_10 mole.

6. How many moles of water is contained in 1 L of water?

7. 50 gallons of a 4.0% solution is made by mixing of 6.8% and 2.8% solutions. (a) In
what ratio should the 6.8% and 2.8% solutions be mixed? (b) How much of each is
needed?

8. What is the daily amount of chlorine needed to treat an 8 MGD of water to satisfy 2.8
mg/L chlorine demand and provide 0.5 mg/L residual chlorine.

9. A wastewater plant has eight activated sludge units. It is designed so that each pipe
from the primary settling basin to the secondary units has a 1.25 MGD rate capacity.
The activated sludge units are capable of operating to a flow of 10% in excess of rate
capacity. However, the velocity of sewage in the pipe is limited to the regulatory
requirement of 2 fps. What standard pipe size from the basin should be selected? (1
MGD = 1.547 cfs)

10. Find the standard deviation of monthly chemical usages (5, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, 11, 9, 7,
5, and 6 tons) in a year.
11. A river water is used as a supply source for a city. The jar test results show the algal
removal with various alum dosage as below:

Alum dosage, mg/L Algal reduction, %

0 9-51
10 51-83
20 69-100
25 73-97
30 87-100
40 93-100

Determine the relationship of algal removal (X) versus alum dosage (Y ).

12. For a BOD test, 75 mL of a river water sample is used in the 300 mL of BOD bottles
without seeding with three duplications. The initial DO in three BOD bottles read 8.86,
8.88, and 8.83 mg/L, respectively. The DO levels after 5 days at 20C incubation are
5.49, 5.65, and 5.53 mg/L, respectively. Find the 5-day BOD (BOD5) for the river
water.

13. Given K1 = 0.25 per day, BOD5 = 6.85 mg/L, for a river water sample. Find La when t0
= 0 days and t0 = 2 days.

14. Explain about StreeterPhelps Oxygen SAG Formula

15. At 20oC, S = 95 mg/L and x1 = 0.222 days. What is the BOD equation and K1 for the
sample?
