\boxed{{\text{C}}{\text{. Aeration}}} is a method of purifying water.

Further Explanation:

A. Adding iodine

Iodine is a mineral which is found in food and is essential for body. It is important in both radioactive and non-radioactive forms. Iodine, in its elemental state is used as a disinfectant. Its deficiency can lead to mental disabilities in children and less formation of thyroid hormone.

B. Freezing

When a substance gets converted from its liquid to a solid state, it is called freezing. This is done by lowering the temperature of the substance below its freezing point. For example, ice is formed from water by the process of freezing.

C. Aeration

In this technique, air is allowed to dissolve in the liquid. This is done by passing air through aeration turbines. Due to this process, water and air are brought closer to each other and as a result, dissolved gases are removed from the water. It is the initial step at the water treatment plant. It is also useful to remove dissolved metals via oxidation, followed by filtration.

D. Fixation

When a specimen is allowed to fix with chemicals so as to avoid autolysis during the preparation of the specimen, the process is called fixation. It has to be carried out just after the removal of tissues to avoid autolysis.

Therefore aeration is used to purify water.

Dimas [21]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Option D is correct. It is independent of the reaction pathway.

<h2>Explanations:</h2><h2>What is Hess's law?</h2>

Hesslaw states that the enthalpy change of a reaction does not change regardless whether the reaction takes place in a single or multiple reaction pathways.

This shows that the total entalpy change of a reaction does not depend on the reaction pathway.

How many grams of carbon dioxide are produced from the combustion of 250.G of ethane, C3H8 in the reaction C3H8 +5O2 - 3CO2 +4H2
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

750 g of CO₂

Explanation:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

C₃H₈ + 5O₂ —> 3CO₂ + 4H₂O

Next, we shall determine the mass of C₃H₈ that reacted and the mass of CO₂ produced from the balanced equation. This can be obtained as follow:

Molar mass of C₃H₈ = (12×3) + (8×1)

= 36 + 8 = 44 g/mol

Mass of C₃H₈ from the balanced equation = 1 × 44 = 44 g

Molar mass of CO₂ = 12 + (16×2)

= 12 + 32 = 44 g/mol

Mass of CO₂ = 3 × 44 = 132 g

SUMMARY:

From the balanced equation above,

44 g of C₃H₈ reacted to produce 132 g of CO₂.

Finally, we shall determine the mass of CO₂ produced by the reaction of 250 g of C₃H₈. This can be obtained as follow:

From the balanced equation above,

44 g of C₃H₈ reacted to produce 132 g of CO₂.

Therefore, 250 g of C₃H₈ will react to produce = (250 × 132)/44 = 750 g of CO₂.

Thus, 750 g of CO₂ were obtained from the reaction.
