18.4 mg/L of toluene is in a groundwater plume. Compute how much of the following would be necessary for full mineralization of the toluene if each reaction were the only reaction responsible for accepting the electrons from toluene. You may ignore biomass growth. Express the results as a concentration in the groundwater (mg/L):

a) O2 consumption in aerobic respiration, mg O2/L (4 points)
b) SO42- consumption in sulfate reduction to sulfides, mg S/L (4 points)
c) NO3- consumption by denitrification to N2, mg N/L (4 points)
d) Fe(OH)3 reduction to Fe2+, mg Fe/L (4 points)
e) CH4 generation in methanogenesis, mg CH4/L (4 points)

An evacuated 4 m3 tank is connected via a valve to a 10 MPa, 100 C ethane line. The valve is opened, ethane flows in for a while, and the valve is closed. Eventually the tank cools to 0 C, the ambient temperature, at which time it contains ¼ liquid and ¾ vapor, by volume. For the overall process, calculate a) heat transfer b) ∆S_tot

Can anyone help me to find the diffusion coefficient (Diffusivity) values of various gases through palladium membrane.

perform a material balance for a reactor with the following:
choose an industrial chemical as your product.
assume a basis on the industrial scale(capacity: Tons/day)

collect the information on the reaction stoichiometry,% conversion,selectivity,percent yield and other related information from sources like industries flow chart, websites and oher reliable sources.
all information used by you in your calculation should have a reference for their values.
using more industry relevant data for calculations will enhance the value of the problem solution.
