Neco Model Questions Vol1 2025 Chemistry Question 16
Practice objective / multiple choice question 16 from the 2025 Neco Model Questions Vol1 Chemistry examination.
A wastewater treatment plant receives 5000 m³ per day of effluent containing nitrate ions at a concentration of 30 mg L⁻¹. The treatment consists of two consecutive steps: (i) a biological denitrification stage that removes 60 % of the nitrate present, but 10 % of the nitrate removed is converted to nitrite, which is not removed later; (ii) an ion‑exchange column that removes 80 % of the nitrate remaining after the first stage. Assuming the volume of water does not change, calculate the final concentration of nitrate ions in the discharged water (in mg L⁻¹, to one decimal place).
