Note, not calculation of tank capacity.
This is one of those "yeah, I can figure out how to do it" type things, but it would be a lot easier knowing if there are shortcuts that are routinely used in industry. This is more of a process engineering type question.
The story problem:
So, you have a five gallon bucket that is mostly full of silver bearing solution that titrates at 9 toz per gallon....how much silver do you have?
Simple right? Now make it an approximately 20 gallon tank, or 2000 gallon tank...and you want to add enough HCl to precipitate 95% of the silver.
Do tanks like this have scales attached so that volume can be determined from density & mass? Is this strictly ultrasonic/visual/sightglass level detection compared to known volumes? Or is it a matter of approximation, precipitation with known volume HCl (or serial dilution with known volume diluent) followed by secondary titration? Or a combination of all of the above?
What's the smack me upside the head easy method that almost always works?
