Class objectives: l Highlight some important areas in environmental chemistry l present some of the common techniques that environmental chemists use to quantify process that occur in the environment • It is assumed that everyone has courses in calculus and general chemistry.
Class objectives: • We will cover general topics: Global warming, Strat. O 3, aerosols, photochemical smog, acid rain, etc. • Develop relationships will be used to help quantify equilibrium and kinetic processes
Important Environmental Issues l Global warming and stratospheric ozone depletion l Concentration of environmental pollutants at the poles; pesticides in foods, etc. l Buildup of environmental chemicals in the oceans; contamination of soil and ground water l Particle exposure, photochemical oxidant exposure, acid deposition l Energy shortages
Energy from the earth 54. 4 x 1020 k. Joules of the sun’s energy strikes the earths surface each year Sun earth §Of this ~30% is reflected back to into space (albedo) §One Joule = 4. 2 calories. It takes ~2000 K calories to feed a human each day §What fraction of the earth’s energy striking the earth, if turned into food, could feed the planet

How thin is the air at the top of Mt. Everest? u. Mt. Everest is 8882 meters high or 8. 88 km high ulog P = 0. 06 x 8. 88 u. P = 10 0. 06 x 8. 88 = 0. 293 bars u. Assume there are 1. 01 bars/atm. u. This means there is < 1/3 of the air
The quantity d is called the dry adiabatic lapse rate u d = - d. T/dz = 9. 8 o. K/kilometer u. If the air is saturated with water the lapse rate is often called s u Near the surface sis ~ 4 o. K/km and at 6 km and – 5 o. K/km it is ~ 6 K/km at 7 km high

A plot of the ln[conc] vs. time for a 1 st order reaction gives a straight line with a slope of the 1 st order rate constant.

It is also possible to show that: log(krate) = log krate. H + r sm, p or log(krate/krate. H) = r sm, p
What this means is for aromatics with different substituted groups, if we know the r value we can calculate the rate constant from the sigma (sm, p) and the hydrogen substituted rate constant. If we know the rate constant for a number of similar aromatics with different substituted groups, we can create a y=mx+b plot and solve for the slope r value (see example at end of Pesticide Chapter)

Thermodynamics How do the pollutants in the different compartments of the environment distribute? Using fugacities to model environmental systems (Donald Mackay ES&T, 1979) Consider the phase equilibrium of five environmental compartments. Is it possible to tell where an environmental pollutant will concentrate? A C D B C where A= air, B= lake, C= Soil, D= Sediment, E= biota and suspended solids
f. A = f B = f C = f D = f E Fugacities can be translated into concentrations fi Zi = C In Air: pi. V = n. RT, p = Cair RT, so Zi = 1/RT i air In water : Ziw = pi /{fw KH}= 1/KH Remember we also used Henry’s law to calculate how fast the atmosphere cleans up, and in another problem fractions of a toxic in the gas and water phase of a flask In biota: Z B = B y Kiow/Ki. H Remember octanol/water partitioning coef. to calculated bio accumulation factors.
We looked at the Equilibrium Distribution of a toxic compound with an atmospheric concentration of 4 x 10 10 mol/m 3.

How are the different thermodynamic parameters related? mig = moig + RT ln pi/poi mi = moi +RT ln fi/ foi for ideal liquids p 1 i = x 1 pi. L* and p 2 i = x 2 pi. L* for non ideal liquids fi. L = i Xipi*L (pure liquid) fi hx = fi H 2 O
Obtained the important result: i. H 2 O=1/ Xi H 2 O Ci = = Xi / molar volumemix the VH 2 O = 0. 0182 L/1 mol Vmix = S X V ; i i typically organics have a Vi of ~0. 1 L/mol Vmix 0. 1 Xi + 0. 0182 XH 2 O MW/density can be used to estimate molar volume. For most organic compounds if you do not know the density, assume 1 g/ml.
From the saturated concentration of an organic in water (Ciwsat) can you calculate the mole fraction and activity coefficient? Remember the toluene homework where you were given a maximum saturation concentration in water of 515 mg/liter H 2 O. Convert this to moles per liter which is a Ciwsat = mole fraction/molar vol.
It is also possible to estimated Csatiw from molar volumes ln Csatiw = a (size) +b

Go over problems I did at the board, problems that were covered from the notes during class, and homework problems from the short and long homework sets. Look at the natural waters homework/with answer link The exam will cover thermo, vapor pressure, henry’s law, water octanol, surface and water purification, pesticides and heavy toxic metals. It will have problems and some short questions. Good luck to all
