Water purification is the process of removing undesirable chemicals, biological contaminants, suspended solids and gases from contaminated water. The goal is to produce water fit for a specific purpose. Most water is disinfected for human consumption (drinking water), but water purification may also be designed for a variety of other purposes, including fulfilling the requirements of medical, pharmacological, chemical and industrial applications. The methods used include physical processes such as filtration, sedimentation, and distillation; biological processes such as slow sand filters or biologically active carbon; chemical processes such as flocculation and chlorination and the use of electromagnetic radiation such as ultra violet light.

Can someone answer this ASAP?

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

С. form chains or rings by bonding to itself and other atoms.

Explanation:

Carbon is an element in group 4 of the periodic table with unique bonding properties. Carbon posseses 4 valence electrons in its outer shell. This enables carbon to form covalent bonds with the atoms of other elements e.g. nitrogen, phosphorus, oxygen, hydrogen etc.

Carbon can also combine covalently with other carbon atoms i.e. C-C to form long chains and rings in a process called CATENATION. This unique property of carbon makes it the only element that can form so many different compounds.

1. A 250g chunk of metal is heated with 400 joules of energy and the temperature goes from 20 °C to 25°C. What is its specific h

Paha777 [63]

The specific heat capacity of this chunk of metal is equal to 0.32 J/g°C.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Mass of metal = 250g

Quantity of energy = 400 Joules

Initial temperature = 20°C

Final temperature = 20°C

To determine the specific heat capacity of this chunk of metal:

<h3>The formula for quantity of heat.</h3>

Mathematically, quantity of heat is given by the formula;

$Q = mc\theta$

<u>Where:</u>

Q represents the quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity.

∅ represents the change in temperature.

Making c the subject of formula, we have:

$c = \frac{Q}{m\theta}$

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$c = \frac{400}{250 \times (25-20)}\\\\c = \frac{400}{250 \times 5}\\\\c = \frac{400}{1250 }$

Specific heat, c = 0.32 J/g°C.

Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy

Explanation:

The question is not complete, the complete question is given as:

$^{235}_{72}U +^{1}_{0}n$ ⇒ $^{140}_{56}Ba+^{93}_{36}Kr+3^{1}_{0}n+energy$

total mass equals 236.053 u total mass equals 235.868 u

Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction? (1) Mass is gained due to the conversion of mass to energy. (2) Mass is gained due to the conversion of energy to mass. (3) Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy. (4) Mass is lost due to the conversion of energy to mass.

Answer: From Einstein’s equation E = mc², when a radioisotope element undergoes fission or fusion in a nuclear reaction, it loses a tiny amount of mass.This mass lost is converted to energy.

The law of conservation of energy holds for this type of reaction (i.e the sum of mass and energy is remains the same in a nuclear reaction). Mass changes to energy, but the total amount of mass and energy combined remains the same before and after a nuclear reaction.

From the reaction above, the total decrease in mass = 236.053 - 235.868 = 0.185 u
