Scientists prevent the nonpolar perfluorocarbons

in Oxygent from separating from the water by adding surfactant.

Explanation:

The collection of oxygen from lungs and transporting it all those tissues present in the human body and taking carbon dioxide back to lungs are the main functions of the hemoglobin. But, instead of this hemoglobin, When perfluorocarbons , a nonpolar chemical is used to perform the same function for the oxygen transportation, the nonpolar chemical may not mix well with the water when this perfluorocarbons is taken through a water-based saline .

For this purpose an addition of a chemical called surfactant is done. This will enhance the chemical bonding between the non polar chemical and water. The perfluorocarbons spreads into some droplets and gets coated with this bonding substance. Thus it gets attached to the water.

Answer: B. Ionic solids have higher melting points than molecular solids.

This is because the rest are false, as solids are able to melt, and do have melting points. Also, not all solids have the same melting points.

1.What is desalination?

Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

1. The process of removal of the dissolved salts from sea/ocean water is called desalination.

2.Well and Spring water contains dissolved impurities but not suspended imputites or germs because they have been filtered through different layers of soil.Thus, well water and spring water is pure and safe to drink.

3 Rain water is the purest form of water.

4.The interconversion of the three state of water aldo occurs in nature which is known as water cycle.

5. a) Due to water cycle, it rains. Raining is very important because agricultural production depends on it.

b) Controls the climatic conditions all over the world.

How are chemical reactions used in art

Aliun [14]

Answer:

Chemistry reactions are used in art for the following processes;

1) Analog photography

The photographic paper used in analog photography react when exposed to light such that the image on the film stains the photopaper

A series of chemicals are further used to develop the images now carried on the paper and water is used to rinse of the chemicals after the other chemical processes are complete

The photopaper, now bearing the developed photo is hung for it to be dried

2) Paint used for painting consists of several chemicals, including, minerals that serve as pigment, oils that serve as carrying agent, a thinner to prevent the paint from turning to solid

An artist therefore combines different chemicals for a given paint task

3) In the sculpting process

An original sculpture is produced by the artist with the aid of clay or plaster, from the original sculpture, on which wax coatings and chemicals are used to make a replica mold.

Copies of the sculpture can then be made by pouring material into the mold
