An aqueous waste stream that has a maximum concentration of 0.50 M H2SO4 (d _ 1.030 g/mL
Chapter 6, Problem 6.98(choose chapter or problem)
An aqueous waste stream that has a maximum concentration of 0.50 M H2SO4 (d _ 1.030 g/mL at 25_C) will be neutralized by controlled addition of 40% caustic soda (NaOH; d _ 1.430 g/L) before it goes to the process sewer and then to the chemical plant waste treatment facility. However, a safety review finds that the waste stream could meet a small stream of an immiscible organic compound, which could form a flammable vapor in air at 40._C. The maximum temperature of the caustic soda and the waste stream is 31_C. Could the temperature increase due to the heat of neutralization cause the vapor to explode? Assume the specific heat capacity of each solution is 4.184 J/g_K.
