When lead pipe is stored above ground, a layer of PbO 2(s) can form before the pipe is installed. When exposed to water, PbO 2(s) can be reduced to Pb2+ which is soluble in water. (a) Write the redox half reaction for the reduction of PbO 2(s) to Pb2+. (b) Write the redox half reaction for the oxidation of H 2O to O2. (c) Write the overall chemical reaction for the conversion of PbO 2(s) to Pb2+ in the presence of H2O. 3. PREVENTING LEAD LEACHING WITH ORTHOPHOSPHATE. Orthophosphate can (and should

In addition, each group must choose an appropriate compound(s) that would be involved in mass transfer and used for testing the mass transfer unit. The selected compounds must have low toxicity and must be readily available. In addition, it should be possible to adequately monitor the specific contaminant in the School of Engineering laboratories or other laboratories on the Campus.”The first attempt at inclusion of these laboratories
