Question

January 11, 2018 Q1: This question is worth 99 points and a brainliest. It is a three part question. Medium difficulty.

Answer 1

Part 1. De-chlorinated water is water that doesn't contain any chlorine.

Part 2. Tap water contains chlorine, the chlorine should be removed from the water before putting in an aquarium. This is because Chlorine is known for cleaning and killing micro-organisms. It should not be put into an aquarium because it can be harmful to the life inside of it.

Part 3. There are various ways to de-chlorinate water. One of the ways is by dissolving a tablet of potassium metabisulfite into it. 1 tablet = 20 gallons of water dechlorinated.


Hope this helped! (:

Answer 2

1.
De-chlorinated water is simply a sample of water without any chlorine components.
2.
Water is typically chlorinated to sanitize water from all micro-organisms. This is good because it keeps harmful bacteria and other risky organisms away from water. However, this is bad because it kills all organisms. This is why planted aquariums never apply a chlorinated solution. It must be dechlorinated if you want the living organism to live in the aquarium. 
3.
There are many complex and simple methods to de-chlorinate water. I will briefly list them: Boiling, adding a dechlorination agent to water, an air pump, and an Aerating Sprayer. Boiling water is the simplest way, but chloramine and chlorine will not be completely gone. Usually, adding a dechlorinating agent is one of the best. You can add vitamin C tablets to water. Vitamin C tablets are VERY commonly used to dechlorinate water with a huge concentration gradient (pools, hot tubs, etc).
