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

Further Explanation:

A. Aeration

The technique in which air is dissolved in any liquid or substance is called aeration. It is also known as aerification or aeriation. It can be done by allowing air to pass through a liquid with the help of 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 helpful to remove dissolved metals via oxidation, followed by filtration.

Generally, ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane, hydrogen sulfide, iron, manganese and volatile organic compounds like benzene are removed from water through the process of aeration.

B. Combustion

It is a type of chemical reaction occurring between any fuel and an oxidizing agent. It usually takes place when the hydrocarbon is allowed to react with oxygen. Energy, normally in the form of heat and light is produced during this process.

C. Fixation

It is a process that is required to fix a specimen with chemicals in order to stop autolysis during the preparation of the specimen. It has to be carried out just after the removal of tissues to avoid autolysis.

D. Freezing

It is a phase transition that occurs when a substance is to be converted from its liquid to a solid state. This is done by lowering the temperature of the substance below its freezing point. For example, water is transformed into ice by the process of freezing.

Therefore aeration is used to purify water.

When I2 and FeCl2 are mixed together, iodine (I) cannot replace chlorine (Cl) in the compound because iodine is lower on the per
Nata [24]

Answer: The given statement is true.

Explanation: If this reaction would have occurred, then this reaction would be considered as displacement reaction.

Displacement reactions are the reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element in a chemical reaction. This is based on the reactivity of elements.

Reactivity of elements is the tendency of the elements to gain or loose electrons. The reactivity decreases down the group in a periodic table.

In the given reaction, Iodine and chlorine are the elements of the same group in the periodic table and iodine lies below chlorine in the group. So, the reactivity of iodine is less than the reactivity of chlorine.

Hence, in the given reaction, iodine will not replace chlorine because it lies below in the periodic table.

FeCl_2+I_2\rightarrow \text{No reaction}

Which set of coefficients will balance this chemical equation?
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

Option B is correct = 1,3

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

C₂H₄ + O₂     →    CO₂ + H₂O

Balanced chemical equation:

C₂H₄ + 3O₂     →    2CO₂ + 2H₂O

Step 1:

Left side                      Right side

C = 2                           C = 1

H = 4                           O = 3

O = 2                           H = 2

Step 2:

C₂H₄ + O₂     →    2CO₂ + H₂O

Left side                      Right side

C = 2                           C = 2

H = 4                           O = 5

O = 2                           H = 2

Step 3:

C₂H₄ + O₂     →    2CO₂ + 2H₂O

Left side                      Right side

C = 2                           C = 2

H = 4                           O = 6

O = 2                           H = 4

Step 4:

C₂H₄ + 3O₂     →    2CO₂ + 2H₂O

Left side                      Right side

C = 2                           C = 2

H = 4                           O = 6

O = 6                           H = 4
