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.

1. Take 100ml of water as solvent and boil it few minutes.
2. Now add one tea spoon sugar, one tea spoon tea leaves and 50ml of milk. Here sugar, tea leaves and milk are solute.
3. Now boil it again for few minutes so that sugar will dissolves in solution as sugar is soluble in water
4. Now filter the solution. Collect the filtrate in cup. The insoluble tea leaves will be left behind as residue.

There are two common oxides of copper; one is 80% copper and the other is 89% copper by weight. Calculate the formula and name e
irakobra [83]

80% copper (Cu)

Cu: 80 :  63.546 = 1.259

O: 20 : 16 = 1.25

Cu:O = 1 : 1

the formula: CuO

89% copper (Cu)

Cu: 89 :  63.546 = 1.4

O: 11 : 16 = 0.6875

Cu:O = 2:1

the formula: Cu₂O

In the laboratory you are asked to make a 0.303 m cobalt(II) sulfate solution using 275 grams of water. How many grams of cobalt
valentinak56 [21]

Answer: 12.92g of CoSO4

Explanation:

Molar Mass of CoSO4 = 59 + 32 + (16x4) = 59 + 32 +64 = 155g/mol

Molarity of CoSO4 = 0.303mol/L

Mass conc. In g/L = Molarity x molar Mass

= 0.303x155 = 46.965g/L

275 grams of water = 0.275L of water

46.965g of CoSO4 dissolves in 1L

Therefore Xg of CoSO4 will dissolve in 0.275L i.e

Xg of CoSO4 = 46.965x0.275 = 12.92g

Therefore 12.92g of CoSO4 is needed
