Question

The concentrations of bromides in an industrial effluent density 1.00 g/ml are determined using a bromide ion selective electrode. The 0.005 M and 0.010M standards give potential readings of -0.109 v and -0.125 v, respectively. The sample gives a reading of -0.120 v. What is the bromide concentration of the sample in ppm? Br: 79.9 g/mol

Los potenciales eléctricos siguen la ecuación de Nernst. Vamos a encontrar la pendiente y la intersección para la línea de calibración primero, y luego usar eso para encontrar la concentración de la muestra.

1. Primeramente, convertimos las concentraciones de Molaridad (M) de las soluciones estándar a su logaritmo en base 10:
\log(0.005) = \log 10^{-2.3} = -2.301
\log(0.010) = \log 10^{-2} = -2

2. Usamos las lecturas de potencial para encontrar la pendiente y la intersección mediante una regresión lineal simple entre el potencial (E) y el logaritmo de la concentración (\(\log [Br^-]\)):
m = \frac{E_2 - E_1}{\log [Br^-]_2 - \log [Br^-]_1} = \frac{-0.125 - (-0.109)}{-2 - (-2.301)}
m = \frac{-0.125 + 0.109}{-2 + 2.301}
m = \frac{-0.016}{0.301}
m \approx -0.05315 \, \text{V}

3. Ahora encontramos la intersección (b) usando una de las parejas de datos:
E = m \log([Br^-]) + b
-0.109 = -0.05315(-2.301) + b
b = -0.109 + 0.1224
b = 0.0134 \, \text{V}

4. Ahora usamos la ecuación de Nernst con la lectura de la muestra para encontrar \(\log[Br^-]\):
E = m \log([Br^-]) + b
-0.120 = -0.05315 \log([Br^-]) + 0.0134
-0.120 - 0.0134 = -0.05315 \log([Br^-])
-0.1334 = -0.05315 \log([Br^-])
\log([Br^-]) = \frac{-0.1334}{-0.05315}
\log([Br^-]) \approx 2.51

5. Deshacemos el logaritmo para encontrar la concentración en M:
[Br^-] = 10^{2.51}
[Br^-] \approx 0.00309 \, \text{M}

6. Convertimos la concentración de M a ppm usando la masa molar de Br:
\text{ppm} = [Br^-] (\text{M}) \times \text{masa molar de Br} \times \frac{\text{densidad de la muestra}}{\text{densidad del agua}} \times 1000
\text{ppm} = 0.00309 \times 79.9 \times 1 \times 1000
\text{ppm} \approx 49.9 \ \text{ppm}

Respuesta: 49.9 \ \text{ppm}

A construction company is working on two projects: house construction and building construction. Each house requires 4 weeks of work and produces a profit of $50,000. Each building requires 8 weeks of work and produces a profit of $100,000. The company has a total of 24 work weeks available. Furthermore, it is known that at least 2 houses and at least 1 building must be built to meet the demand. The company wants to maximize its profits and needs to determine how many houses and buildings it should build to meet demand and maximize profits, given time and demand constraints.
