Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Scientists are testing the effect of different scrubber technologies on the removal of pollutants from coal power plants. The scrubbers use a slurry of limestone and water. Which of the following best describes the impact of modifying the slurry by increasing the amount of limestone? The amount of sulfur dioxide released will decrease. A The amount of ground-level ozone released will decrease. B The amount of water released will increase. C The amount of carbon monoxide released will increase. "

Answer:

The amount of sulfur dioxide released will decrease.

Explanation:

As you may already know, coal is a fossil fuel and burning it releases many toxic gases into the atmosphere, including sulfur dioxide.

A suspension of water and limestone, allows the calcium present in limestone to enter into reaction with sulfur dioxide, forming calcium sulfide and decreasing the emission of sulfur in the atmosphere.

The greater the amount of limestone in this suspension, the less sulfur dioxide will be released into the environment.

1. shut down the factory
This is a suggestion that will not be implemented simply due to the fact that the factory is likely to be bringing profits and meeting the requirements of a specific product or products. Shutting the factory down will mean great losses, which makes this suggestion non-feasible.

2. Move the factory out of the city
First, "moving" a factory is not as easy as it sounds. For a factory to be set up, many factors are considered such as the availability of raw materials and transport cost. Moreover, the emissions will still not be lessened if the factory is simply moved.

3. Increase the height of the factory's chimney
If these emissions are harming the nearby environment, this suggestion will help to reduce those effects. However, the negative effects will inevitably occur if there is a high level of emission of sulfur dioxide occurring, such as acid rain. Therefore, this does not solve the problem, only changes its nature.

What role do enzymes play in chemical reactions?
Naily [24]

Answer:

Enzymes allow many chemical reactions to occur within the homeostasis constraints of a living system. Enzymes function as organic catalysts. A catalyst is a chemical involved in, but not changed by, a chemical reaction. Many enzymes function by lowering the activation energy of reactions.

Explanation:

I believe this is correct, if not let me know and I will fix it. I'm sorry in advance if it is incorrect.
