You are required to mix up 5000 US gals 10% w/w of sulphuric acid solution \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(a) How much concentrated sulphuric acid do you need (US gals)
\n" ); document.write( "How much Water (US gals)
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "Mixing 98% acid with water to give 5000 gals of 10%:
\n" ); document.write( "s + w = 5000
\n" ); document.write( "98s + 0w = 5000*10
\n" ); document.write( "s = 50000/98 gallons
\n" ); document.write( "s =~ 510.2 gallons of acid
\n" ); document.write( "w = 5000 - s = 4489.8 gallons of water
\n" ); document.write( "===================================
\n" ); document.write( "(c) You want to decant the concentrated acid from drums into a tank, when first setting up on location so that you can pump it out using flowmeters ‘on the fly’.
\n" ); document.write( "The yard has a 4000 gal fibreglass-lined acid tank or a 10 bbl carbon steel tank available …. or you may have to rent a 2000 gal stainless steel vessel from the competition at a premium rate.
\n" ); document.write( "What tank should you use.
\n" ); document.write( "Based on what? Use the one that's most convenient.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------
\n" ); document.write( "You didn't give the volume of the 10 bbl tank.
\n" ); document.write( "The oil industry uses 42 gallons/bbl
\n" ); document.write( "Wine is 33 gal/bbl
\n" ); document.write( "Common barrels are 55 gallon drums.
\n" ); document.write( "=========================\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Data: Conc sulphuric acid available is 98% strength, with an SG of 1.84.
\n" ); document.write( " 10% sulphuric acid solution has a SG of 1.05.
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "The SG's are not relevant.
