how do you figure out :

- (CUF) For a body of water surface evaporation occurs at a rate of 6.4L/ m2 per day. How much chlorine needs to be added each morning when filling the pool to ensure the chemical levels are correct.

To figure this out, you need to calculate the volume of water that is evaporating daily and then determine how much chlorine needs to be added to maintain the correct chemical levels.

First, you need to calculate the volume of water being evaporated daily per square meter:

6.4 L/m^2/day

Second, you need to determine the surface area of the pool to calculate the total volume of water evaporating daily.

Let's say the pool has a surface area of 50 m^2.

Total volume of water evaporating daily = 6.4 L/m^2/day * 50 m^2 = 320 L/day

Next, you need to determine the amount of chlorine that needs to be added to the pool daily to maintain proper chemical levels. This will depend on the size of the pool and the desired concentration of chlorine. This information can typically be found on the chlorine product label.

Let's say the label recommends adding 1 L of chlorine for every 50,000 L of water in the pool.

Now, calculate how much chlorine needs to be added daily:

Chlorine needed per day = 320 L/day / 50,000 L * 1 L = 0.0064 L or 6.4 mL

Therefore, you would need to add 6.4 mL of chlorine each morning when filling the pool to ensure the chemical levels are correct.
what would the answer be if i had a surface area of 24m²
If you have a surface area of 24m², you would use the same calculations as before:

Total volume of water evaporating daily = 6.4 L/m^2/day * 24 m^2 = 153.6 L/day

Assuming the same chlorine dosage as before (adding 1 L of chlorine for every 50,000 L of water), the calculation for how much chlorine needs to be added daily would be:

Chlorine needed per day = 153.6 L/day / 50,000 L * 1 L = 0.0031 L or 3.1 mL

Therefore, with a surface area of 24m², you would need to add 3.1 mL of chlorine each morning when filling the pool to ensure the chemical levels are correct.
