Why is it important to remove nitrogen and phosphorus from raw sewage?

Chemistry

Nitrogen and phosphorus leaked into the water systems increase nutrients available for algae, leading to eutrophication. Because of the amount of algae growing in water systems, bacteria use up a huge amount of oxygen during metabolism in order to clear away the algae. As a result there is much less oxygen available for other living things , and thus their oxygen requirement can not be met , and consequently there is a mass death of these organisms.

How many phosphorous atoms are found in three molecules of magnesium phosphate, 3Mg3(PO4)2?
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Since the given formula is 3Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}. According to cross method formula, magnesium has +2 charge so, PO_{4} is multiplied by 2.

Thus, 1 molecule of magnesium phosphate will contain 2 atoms of phosphorus.

Therefore, three molecules of magnesium phosphate contains following number of atoms.

  • Mg = 9
  • P = 6
  • O = 24

Hence, we can conclude that there are 6 atoms of phosphorus in three molecules of magnesium phosphate, 3Mg_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.
iragen [17]

Answer:

Solid:- Particles vibrate in a rigid structure and do not move relative to their neighbors.

Liquid:- It takes the shape of its container but keeps a constant volume.

Gas:- Particles move rapidly and independently of each other.

Plasma:- It is the most common state of matter in the universe.

Explanation:

Solids are one of the three states of matter and, unlike liquids or gases, they have a definite shape that is not easy to change. Different solids have particular properties such as stretch, STRENGTH, or hardness that make them useful for different jobs.

A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure

Gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume. Gases have lower density than other states of matter, such as solids and liquids. When more gas particles enter a container, there is less space for the particles to spread out, and they become compressed. The particles exert more force on the interior volume of the container.

A plasma is a gas that has been energized to the point that some of the electrons break free from, but travel with, their nucleus.
