Assume that we have an amount of concentrated solution of 21g/L of substance (ephedrine hydrochloride) that we need to mix with a diluent of bleach at a 2:1 ratio, and that the reaction takes 5 minutes to complete. Because of the availability of appropriate containers, we can only do a maximum of 10L dilutions each time, and must take 3 minutes afterwards to clean the container for the next reaction (the time to prepare will be considered negligible). Now, we estimated that we have a total of 1.766898t of the substance at the known concentration, and we must complete the reaction in order to distribute it to our clients.
1) Theoretically, how long will it take to complete the reaction for the full amount of product, assuming maxium efficiency? Give the result in days.
2) What's the final volume of the diluent that we will need?
3) Assuming that our "employees" only work 16 hours a day at maximum efficiency, how long will it take to complete the process? Give the result in days.
We buy our concentrated solution at 9$/L, the diluent at 2.5$/L, we pay our workers 1.8$/h, and we spend 12.5$ per day using our facilities & other resources (even if it's not used for the entire day). If the estimated selling price for our final product results in 3.5$ per gram of substance initially used:
4) Calculate the benefits or losses of our production (in dollars), for the time we took to finish.
5) At current exchange of USD [$] to Nigerian Nairas [₦] (1:1528.52), calculate the amount of money we earned in ₦, after assuming an expenditure of 200$ per million of Nigerian Nairas converted.
