Activated carbon binds to most substances through van der waals or london dispersion forces. how did you use ethanol to confirm

that the pollutant had been removed from the water by adhering to the activated carbon?
Chemistry

Answer:

The answer is a reaction of aqueous or absolute ethanol with the pollutant

Explanation:

Activated carbon filtration is a commonly used water treatment technology based on the adsorption of contaminants onto the surface of a filter. This method is effective for the removal of certain organics (such as unwanted taste and odours, micro-pollutants and synthetic organic chemicals), chlorine, fluorine or radon from drinking water or wastewater.

Carbonaceous resin have been known to be cleansed by ethanol 20% more effectively than steam.

Becauseof the hydrogen and van der waals force in a mixture of ethanol and water, releasing the pollutants into aqueous or absolute ethanol, and testing the resulting purity of the alcohol would determine whether or not purification of the water sample has occurred.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:Hence, the bond length in HCl is 125 pm.

Explanation:

Bond length : It is an average distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule.

Also given that bond length is the distance between the centers of two bonded atoms. on the potential energy curve, the bond length is the inter-nuclear distance between the two atoms when the potential energy of the system reaches its lowest value. Beyond this if atoms come closer to each other then their will be repulsion between them.

So, the bond length between the Hydrogen and Chlorine atom in HCl molecule is :

Bond length=radius _{hydrogen}+radius_{chlorine}=25pm+100pm=125pm

Hence, the bond length in HCl is 125 pm.

which of the following best helps explain why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction?
NeTakaya

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows.

Which of the following best helps explain why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction?

(a)   at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen less frequently.

(b)  at low temperatures, low-energy collisions happen more frequently.

(c)   at higher temperatures, less-energy collisions happen less frequently.

(d)  at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen more frequently

Explanation:

When we increase the temperature of a chemical reaction then molecules of the reactant species tend to gain kinetic energy. As a result, they come into motion which leads to more number of collisions within the molecules.

Therefore, chemical reaction will take less amount of time in order to reach its end point. This means that there will occur an increase in rate of reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement at higher temperatures, high-energy collisions happen more frequently, best explains why an increase in temperature increases the rate of a chemical reaction.

Help me answer this chemistry question. thank you!
Leona [35]

Answer:

A. How much decay happens in each flashlight

Explanation:

In an experiment, the DEPENDENT OR RESPONDING VARIABLE is the variable that responds to changes being made to another variable called Independent variable. It is the variable that is measured by an experimenter.

In this question, an experiment was carried out to research the effect of sunlight on plastic decay. Three plastic flashlights were used for this experiment in which one was placed in a dark closet (control), and the others were placed in light at different times or intervals. However, the variable being measured or assessed is the decay of each flashlight. This means that "HOW MUCH DECAY HAPPENS IN EACH FLASHLIGHT" is the dependent variable.

Why is some amount of cryolite added in the electrolysis of molten alumina​
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

A.It lowers the melting point of alumina. B.It increases the electrical conductivity. ... Hint: The solution of alumina and cryolite during the electrolysis gives the aluminium at cathode and oxygen at anode. The alumina is a poor conductor of electricity and the fusion temperature of alumina is about 2000∘C.
