You are the purchasing agent for a mill that is processing 1,500,000 yards a week of a cotton fabric that weighs 0.333 pounds/yard. Your plant manager wants to know how much of each of the processing chemicals to buy each month (=4 weeks). The formula that is used is: 6 g/L 35% Hydrogen Peroxide solution 8 g/L 50% Sodium Hydroxide solution 25 g/L 42% Sodium Silicate solution 5 g/L Wetting Agent The % wet pick in the plant is 90% owf. If the density of the 42% Sodium Silicate solution is 12.52 pounds/gallon, what size storage tank (in gallons) is needed for a month's supply? Give your answers in gallons/month with four significant figures.
