( b ) If the water contains 2 m g L of F e 2 + and 1 m g L of N H 3

(b) If the water contains 2mgL of Fe2+ and 1mgL of NH3 as N, what concentration of free chlorine (in mgL as Cl2) would we have to add to the water in the bottle to ensure a sufficient level of free chlorine remains after the reactions with Fe2+ and NH3 to achieve the desired level of Giardia cyst inactivation? You can assume a stoichiometry of [HOCl]:[Fe2+]=0.5 for reaction of free chlorine with Fe2+, and a stoichiometry of [HOCl]:[NH3]=1.5 for reaction of free chlorine with NH3, that each reaction proceeds instantaneously, and that the bottle behaves as a batch reactor.
Note: Assume that free chlorine is not consumed in this water by any other reactions than the reactions with Fe2+ and NH3, and that the free chlorine concentration remains constant once the Fe2+ and NH3 are fully consumed. Recall that MWFe=56gmol,MWN=14gmol, and MWClCl=70.9gmol.
