What is the process whereby salt is removed from salt water​

Physics

Nady [450]3 years ago

Answer:The process of purifying sea water into fresh water is called Desalination, which essentially means removing the salt from water.

There are two main industrial size process for desalination, one is thermal desalination which is distillation using heat and the other is with Reverse Osmosis or RO using water pressure through membranes.

In some places they’re doing inverse osmosis, which needs lots and lots of energy, maybe being in a sunny place.

Evaporation is a also a good method for removing salt from sea water but that is used only in low consumption of water.Israel is currently using the desalination process successfully and there is a plant that I read about near San Diego, CA.

Here some methods are help to removing salt from sea water

Turning Salt water into Drinking water using Solar power

The MIT team's this new desalination technology "electrodialysis" is comparatively less expensive.

Graphene Sieve turns Seawater into Drinking water

A new research shows graphene can filter common salts from water to make it safe to drink.The new findings could lead to affordable desalination technology.

Graphene-oxide membranes have attracted considerable attention as promising candidates for new filtration technologies. Now the much sought-after development of making membranes capable of sieving common salts has been achieved.

New research demonstrates the real-world potential of providing clean drinking water for millions of people who struggle to access adequate clean water sources.

Explanation: Thanks and good luck.

Will two separate 50db sounds together constitute a 100db sound explain mathematical
vfiekz [6]
Putting together two distinct 50 dB sound, do not create a 100 dB sound. Since decibels are logarithm of energy, creating two sounds together only makes the energy increase but the logarithm only goes up by somehow little. So increasing the sound by 10 dB, only makes it 10000 times louder because each 10 dB increase in sound makes the sound 10 times louder.

Twice as loud is an increase of 10Log (2) = 3.01 dB. So, 53,01 dB is twice as loud as 50dB.

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

3.1×10⁻¹¹ N

Explanation:

Use Coulomb's law:

F = k q₁ q₂ / r²

F = (9×10⁹) (6.0×10⁻¹⁰) (2.3×10⁻¹⁵) / (0.02 m)²

F = 3.1×10⁻¹¹

During an investigation, a scientist heated 123.6 g of copper carbonate till it decomposed to form a black residue. The total ma
iris [78.8K]

When copper carbonate is heated, it decomposes to form a black residue. This black residue is actually copper(II) oxide. Along with this black residue, carbon-dioxide is released. The complete reaction is the following:

CuCO_3\to CuO(s)+CO_2(g)

The law of conservation of mass holds true. 123.6 g of copper carbonate decomposes to 79.6 g of copper oxide and (123.6 g-79.6 g=44 g) 44 g of carbon-dioxide.
