\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.

How do the atmosphere conditions near the beginning of Precambrian time contrast with the atmosphere conditions that are present
babunello [35]
The early precambrian atmosphere consisted primarily of nitrogen and carbon dioxide with almost no oxygen. 

<span>Today, the atmosphere contains about 20% oxygen, less carbon dioxide and similar amounts of nitrogen. </span>

<span>Photosynthetic green-leaf plants and trees are largely responsible for the change, converting carbon dioxide to oxygen.</span>

What are the similarities between DIFFUSION, FACILITATED DIFFUSION and OSMOSIS?
nalin [4]
Osmosis and diffusion are related processes that display similarities. Both osmosis and diffusion equalize the concentration of two solutions. Both diffusion and osmosis are passive transport processes, which means they do not require any input of extra energy to occur. In both diffusion and osmosis, particles move from an area of higher concentration to one of lower concentration. Osmosis and facilitated diffusion both account for movement of molecules from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration.

Determine the electron geometry (eg) and molecular geometry (mg) of CO2.
eimsori [14]

Answer:

eg=linear, mg=linear

Explanation:

First of all, it must be stated that most triatomic molecules are either linear or bent. This depends on the electron geometry of the molecule and the number of bonding groups, multiple bonds and lone pairs present.

CO2 contains four regions of electron density and two bonding groups. For a specie containing two bonding groups, a linear molecular geometry is expected with an angle of 180°.

For a specie having two bonding groups and no lone pairs with multiple bonds, the expected electron geometry is also linear.
