Answer:

Yes, it does.

Explanation:

In the microbial process, the waste works as a fuel for the microorganism, it uses its fuel to produce its energy like the animals use glucose as fuel. So, the reaction is an aerobic respiration process, the fuel reacts with oxygen gas to produce energy, carbonic gas, and water.

Thus,

C+ O2 --> CO2 + H2O + energy

The oxygen is a good oxidizer agent, it means that in a redox reaction it intends to reduce (gain electrons) meanwhile the other reactant intends to lose electrons, and so be oxidized. So, C is being oxidized in this process.

10. You demonstrated the difference in density of the two objects. It is a physical property.

11. First calculate the density for all of them: density = mass/volume

Density:

A. 5/6 g/ml

B. 10/9 g/ml

C. 15/16 g/ml

D. 20/10 g/ml

If the density of the substance is higher than the density of the substance it is put in, then it will sink. So substances B and D will sink in water, as their densities are higher than 1 g/ml.

12. Ammonia weighs less than water does-- for example, the weight of 8 gallons of ammonia will be equivalent to the weight of 5 gallons of water.

Hope this helped!

Explain what makes insulative materials work most effectively.
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Most common insulation materials work by slowing conductive heat flow and--to a lesser extent--convective heat flow. Radiant barriers and reflective insulation systems work by reducing radiant heat gain. To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.

Explanation:

To be effective, the reflective surface must face an air space.
