Question 2.
Name one factor that affects mass transfer coefficients.
Show hintHide hint
Consider the properties of liquids and gases.
3Question 3.
What is a mass transfer coefficient (kA)?
- A temperature measure
- A measurement of compound purity

- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider what happens when a container partially empties.
Question 5.
Assume a chemical has a higher volatility than water. A spill occurred; outline the potential environmental changes in concentration in both air and water over time.
Show hintHide hint
Utilize the mass transfer coefficient correlations for both phases.
Question 6.
Given a lake with an initial concentration of A, describe how you would model its dilution over a certain period, considering both evaporation and potential inflow.
Show hintHide hint
Think about the effects of constant inflow on the overall concentration in the system.
