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.
<span>Very quick oxidation reactions result in combustion.
Reason
Oxidation reaction involved reaction with oxygen. Consider following example:
C6H12O6 + 6O2 </span>→ 6CO2 + 6H2O
(glucose) (carbon dioxide)
From the above reaction, it can be seen that, oxidation state of C in glucose in zero, while that in CO2 is +4. Thus, oxidation state of C is increased from 0 to +4. This process is called oxidation. Further, complete oxidation of reactant molecule is referred as combustion.
<u>Answer:</u> The final temperature of the mixture is 51.49°C
<u>Explanation:</u>
When two samples of water are mixed, the heat released by the water at high temperature will be equal to the amount of heat absorbed by water at low temperature
The equation used to calculate heat released or absorbed follows:
![m_1\times c\times (T_{final}-T_1)=-[m_2\times c_2\times (T_{final}-T_2)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=m_1%5Ctimes%20c%5Ctimes%20%28T_%7Bfinal%7D-T_1%29%3D-%5Bm_2%5Ctimes%20c_2%5Ctimes%20%28T_%7Bfinal%7D-T_2%29%5D)
......(1)
where,
q = heat absorbed or released
= mass of water at high temperature = 140 g (Density of water = 1.00 g/mL)
= mass of water at low temperature = 230 g
= final temperature = ?°C
= initial temperature of water at high temperature = 95.00°C
= initial temperature of water at low temperature = 25.00°C
c = specific heat of water= 4.186 J/g°C
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
![140\times 4.186\times (T_{final}-95)=-[230\times 4.186\times (T_{final}-25)]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=140%5Ctimes%204.186%5Ctimes%20%28T_%7Bfinal%7D-95%29%3D-%5B230%5Ctimes%204.186%5Ctimes%20%28T_%7Bfinal%7D-25%29%5D)
Hence, the final temperature of the mixture is 51.49°C
<span> We are given with the rate constant of a first-order decomposition of n2o which is equal to 3.40 s-1. Half life of the radioactive material can be determined through the formula: t= ln2 /k where t is the half life of the material. t then upon substitution is equal to 0.2048 s. </span>
An atom is neutral as it has the same number of electrons that of protons. So, if an atom has 32 protons i.e. the atomic number of it is 32, then it will have 32 electrons revolving the nucleus.
