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?

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.

Which pair of substances would most likely result in the production of a gas when reacting with an acid?
vovangra [49]

Answer: metal and carbonate

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius concept, a base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions (OH^-) when dissolved in water and an acid is defined as a substance which donates hydrogen ions (H^+) in water.

An acid is represented as :

HX\rightarrow H^++X^-

1. When metal is treated with an acid such as HCl, if the metal is more reactive than hydrogen displaces hydrogen from its salt solution and thus produce zinc chloride and hydrogen gas.

M+xHCl(aq)\rightarrow MCl_x(aq)+xH_2(g)

2. When carbonates are treated with acid, double displacement takes place ad carbon dioxide is released as a gas.

MCO_3(aq)+xHCl(aq)\rightarrow MCl_x(aq)+xH_2O(l)+CO_2(g)

What’s 25mg in grams
Aliun [14]

1 gram = 1000 mg

=>

1 mg = 1/1000 g

25 mg = 25* (1/1000) g = 25/1000 g = 0.025g

When 12 moles of o2 react with 1.1 mole of c10h8 what is the limiting reactant?
Trava [24]
1.1   moles   of C10H8  is the  limiting  reagent  in   the  reaction between   reaction  C10H8   and   O2
.
C10H8  +  12O2  ---->  10CO2   + 4H2O

C10H8  is  the  limiting   reagent   since   1.1  moles  of  C10H8  is  totally   consumed   during  the  reaction
