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

Chemistry

matrenka [14]3 years ago

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.

Answer:

A chemical change is a change in the chemical makeup of a substance and results in a new substance. Ice and water both have the same chemical makeup - ice is just a different state and has the same atoms but in an expanded form.

Archy [21]

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option C</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

volume of liquid = 15 mL

density = 2.5 g/mL

We have

mass = 15 × 2.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>37.5 g</h3>

Hope this helps you

Calculate the maximum wavelength of light that will cause the photoelectric
Drupady [299]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work function of potassium = 2.29 eV = 3.67 X 10⁻¹⁹ J

So the minimum energy of photon must be equal to 3.67 X 10⁻¹⁹ J .

energy of photon of wavelength λ = hc / λ

where h = 6.67  x 10⁻³⁴

c = 3 x 10⁸

Putting the values in the equation above

6.67  x 10⁻³⁴  x  3 x 10⁸ / λ =  3.67 X 10⁻¹⁹

λ  = 6.67  x 10⁻³⁴  x  3 x 10⁸ /  3.67 X 10⁻¹⁹

= 5.452 x 10⁻⁷

= 5452 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

= 5452 A .

A mixture contains only nacl and al2(so4)3. a 1.45 g sample of the mixture is dissolved in water, and an excess of naoh is added
Aleks [24]

When mixture of NaCl and Al₂(SO₄)₃ is allowed to react with excess NaOH, only Al₂(SO₄)₃ reacts with it and NaCl does not react with NaOH due to presence of common ion (Na⁺). On reaction gelatinous precipitate of aluminium hydroxide [Al(OH)₃] is produced.  The balanced chemical reaction is represented as-

Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6NaOH → 2Al(OH)₃ + 3Na₂SO₄

On this reaction, 0.495 g = 0.495/78 moles =6.346 X 10⁻³ moles of Al(OH)₃.

As per balanced reaction, two moles of Al(OH)₃ is produced from one mole Al₂(SO₄)₃. So, 6.346 X 10⁻³ moles of Al(OH)₃ is produced from (6.346 X 10⁻³)/2 moles=3.173 X 10⁻³ moles of Al₂(SO₄)₃= 3.173 X 10⁻³ X 342 g of Al₂(SO₄)₃=1.085 g of Al₂(SO₄)₃.

So, mass percentage of Al₂(SO₄)₃ is= (amount of Al₂(SO₄)₃/total amount of mixture)X100 = \frac{1.085 X 100}{1.45} =74.8 %.
