B) We cannot make the salt water clean enough for human consumption. C) We currently desalinate tremendous volumes of ocean water for humans.

Answer:

The correct answer is statement A.

Explanation:

The procedure of purifying ocean water, that is, the saline water so that it can become suitable for drinking is termed as desalination. Almost 70 percent of the Earth is covered with water and of this only 3 percent is used for drinking purposes. On a huge scale, the process of desalination would require the boiling of water, which would eventually require an enormous amount of energy.  

Reverse osmosis and electro-dialysis are the methods used for desalination. However, these procedures are very costly and cannot be performed on a huge level as it can affect the economy of various countries.

Sonbull [250]

Answer:

Pancreatic juice, NaHCO₃.

Explanation:

The buffers are the chemical solution which neutralizes the acidic effect and the human body also produces the biological buffers which help maintain the pH.

The pancreatic juice secreted by the pancreas gets drained into the duodenum of the small intestine and neutralizes the effect of the acidic content in the stomach bolus.  The pancreatic juice contains the sodium bicarbonate which neutralises the effect of the HCl.

Thus, Pancreatic juice, NaHCO₃ is the correct answer.
