\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.

An ideal gaseous reaction (which is a hypothetical gaseous reaction that conforms to the laws governing gas behavior) occurs at
lana [24]

Answer:

ΔU = −55.45 kJ

Explanation:

From first law of thermodynamics in chemistry, we have;

ΔU = Q + W

where;

ΔU is change in internal energy

Q is the net heat transfer

W is the net work done

We are given;

Q = 74.6 kJ

But Q will be negative since heat is released

Thus;

ΔU = -74.6 kJ + W

We are given;

Constant pressure; P = 35 atm = 35 × 101325 = 3546375 N/m²

Volume before reaction; Vi = 8.2 L = 0.0082 m³

Volume after reaction; V_f = 2.8 L = 0.0028 m³

Now,

W = -P(V_f - V_i)

W = - 3546375(0.0028 - 0.0082)

W = 19.15 KJ

Thus;

ΔU = Q + W

ΔU = -74.6 kJ + 19.15 KJ =

ΔU = −55.45 kJ

I don’t understand the equations
inna [77]
So the equation is balanced, meaning they have the smallest amounts of each element in the reactants to create the products.

So, 2 moles of H2S (the coefficient) contributes to 2 moles Ag2S, which is why the ratio is 2:2.

I hope that made sense.

How could measuring the melting point of a solid help decide whether it was a mixture or a compound?
mars1129 [50]

Answer: It can't.

Explanation:

In most cases, the melting point alone will not enable you to identify a compound. Millions of solid organic compounds, and their melting points, are known. Perhaps 10,000 of these will have the same melting point as your unknown compound.

Hope this helps!

What is the oxidation number of phosphorus (P) in phosphoric acid (H3PO4)?
Sedaia [141]

Hey there!:

H is always +1 so the H's have a +3 charge.

O is always -2 so the O's have a -8 charge .

Now, suppose oxidation state for P = X , then :

+3  + X + (-8) = 0      (because of neutral molecule)

x = 8 - 3

x = + 5

So, X = +5 oxidation state.

Answer  C


Hope that helps!
