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

Chemistry
1 answer:
matrenka [14]3 years ago
4 0
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.

ryzh [129]

Answer:

easy

Explanation:

In physics and chemistry, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. This law means that energy can neither be created nor destroyed; rather, it can only be transformed or transferred from one form to another.

How many seconds would it take to deposit 17.3 g of ag (atomic mass = 107.87) from a solution of agno3 using a current of 10.00
Brums [2.3K]
Data Given:

Time = t = ?

Current = I = 10 A

Faradays Constant = F = 96500

Chemical equivalent = e = 107.86/1 = 107.86 g

Amount Deposited = W = 17.3 g

Solution:
             According to Faraday's Law,

                                          W  =  I t e / F

Solving for t,

                                          t  =  W F / I e
Putting values,
                                          t  =  (17.3 g × 96500) ÷ (10 A × 107.86 g)

                                          t  =  1547.79 s

                                          t  = 1.54 × 10³ s
