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.

Not enough air is pumped into an inflatable life raft to make completely filled out the atm pressure is 14.7psi what is the pres
sasho [114]
If you do not inflate the life raft to make completely filled out, as long as you do not press or squeeze  the life raft, the air inside it will be in equilibrium with the air outside the raft, and so the pressure inside the life raft will be the same atmospheric pressure, 14.7 psi.

Note that when the raft is swollen, if you punch it, the air will leave from it which means that the pressure inside is greater than the atmospheric pressure.

Technetium-104 has a half life of 18.0 minutes. how much of a 165.0 g sample remains after 90.0 minutes?
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

The mass of 165.0 g sample that remains after 90.0 minutes is 5.16 grams

calculation

lambda㏑2/18= 0.0385

m(t)= 165 x e( 0.0385 x90)  =5.16g
