Question: ( 6 ) ( i ) A 3 0 m 3 storage tank is half filled with water and half filled with air at 2

(6)(i) A 30m3 storage tank is half filled with water and half filled with air at 21C. After 76kg(1000mol of liquid dipropylene glycol (C3H8O2) is added, the storage tank is sealed. Determine the equilibrium concentration of dipropylene glycol in water and the equilibrium partial pressure of dipropylene glycol in the air space. Henry's Law Constant (KH) for dipropylene glycol at 21C is 106molL*atm.
(7)(ii) A nitrogen analysis of a contaminated water sample gave the following results for ammonium, nitrite, nitrate and organic-nitrogen: 40mgL as NH3,2mgL as NO2-,10mgL as NO3-and 20mgL as organic-N, respectively. Calculate the total nitrogen concentration in the water sample. Assume that all the ammonia is in the form of NH3 and the following chemical atomic weights: H=1,N=14 and O=16 apply.
(7)(iii) Two different methods, the most probable number (MPN) and colony-forming unit (CFU), are commonly used to enumerate fecal indicator bacteria in water samples for environmental compliance. Briefly explain each method and two (2) important differences to be considered when interpreting reported data from the microbiology lab. The image below shows Enterococci colonies growing on a selective agar after membrane filtration.
