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.

This family (ethane, propane, butane, etc) of materials is likely to have what set of properties?
Ilya [14]

This family (ethane, propane, butane, etc) of materials is likely to have following set of properties.

  • The alkanes are non- polar solvents.
  • The alkanes are immiscible in water but freely miscible in other non-polar solvent .
  • The alkanes are consisting of weak dipole dipole bonds can not breaks the strong hydrogen bond.
  • The alkanes having only carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atom which is bonded by a single bonds only.
  • The alkanes posses weak force of attraction that is weak van der waals force of attraction.

The ethane, propane, butane, belong to alkanes family.The alkanes are also considers as saturated hudrocarbons. Ethane is found in gaseous stae Ethane is the second alkane followed by propane followed by butane.

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

Now that you have the knowledge of the highest specific heat capacity and lowest porosity, which material would you choose to build Rover's new doghouse roof?

Oak has the highest heat capacity; therefore, oak can absorb a lot of heat without raising its temperature. This is good for very hot areas. Concrete has the lowest porosity so water will not leak through its pores and drip into the doghouse. This is good for rainy areas. However, clay is second on both lists and might be a good choice overall for hot and rainy weather conditions. Rover should be happy with this.
