Answer:

Microorganisms which are killed in the presence of normal concentrations of atmospheric oxygen are called obligate anaerobes.Some species are capable of surviving in upto 8% while other losing viability in 0.5%.They survive without oxygen as they use other molecules as electron acceptor instead of oxygen.

Explanation:In aerobic organisms oxygen is used in cellular respiration as an electron acceptor.oxygen accepts electrons and turns into water H2O or CO2.While obligate anaerobes other molecules as their primary electron acceptors.common electron acceptors used by them are Nitrate NO3-,  Sulphate SO42- or sulphur S,Iron,mercury and manganese.So in this way they undergo respiration and survive without oxygen.

(a) a 0.2 m potassium hydroxide solution is titrated with a 0.1 m nitric acid solution. (i) balanced equation: (ii)what would be
Stells [14]

\text{KOH} (aq) + \text{HNO}_3 (aq) \to \text{KNO}_3 (aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (l)

The solution shall contain only \text{KNO}_3 (aq) (and water) at the equivalence point. Both potassium hydroxide and nitric acid exist as strong electrolytes. As a result,  \text{KNO}_3 (aq), the salt derived from a reaction between the two species would undergo hydrolysis of a negligible extent. This neutralization reaction therefore be neutral at the equilibrium point.

The question states that the solution is "titrated with a ... nitric acid solution" indicating that \text{HNO}_3 is added to the initially-basic solution. PH value of the solution would keep decreasing as the volume of the acid added increases. The final solution would be acidic as it contains not only water and \text{KNO}_3 (aq), but some \text{HNO}_3 as well. Bromothymol blue would therefore demonstrates a yellow color, the color it present in an acidic solution, at the end of the titration.

21. Apply Concepts Classify each reaction and balance the
adell [148]

The reactions are in order which includes combustion reaction, Hydration reaction, oxidation reaction, and displacement reaction.

a) A combustion reaction is a chemical reaction between a fuel and an oxidant where heat is released. The combustion reaction example is given below. It is a balanced chemical reaction.

2C₃H₆(g) + 9O₂(g) --------> 6CO₂(g) + 6H₂O(g)

b. A hydration reaction is a chemical reaction in which a molecule of water is added to another molecule. Here Aluminum oxide is added to water to form aluminum hydroxide.

4Al₂O3(s) + 6H₂O(l)------> 2Al(OH)3(s)

c. When a metal reacts with oxygen, the metal forms an oxide. Oxide is a compound of metal and oxygen. Here lithium metal reacts with oxygen to form lithium oxide.

2Li(s) + O₂(g)-----> Li₂O(s)

d. A displacement reaction is one in which a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from a compound. Here Zinc is more reactive than silver, so silver was displaced to form Zinc Nitrate.

Zn(s) + 2AgNO₃(aq) -----> 2Ag(s) + Zn(NO₃)₂(aq)

Why must contact lenses be removed before you enter a chemistry laboratory?
RUDIKE [14]
The vapors of some chemicals used in the chemistry laboratory, especially isocyanates, can react and bond the contact lens to the eye.

(FYI - the family of isocyanates include Superglue..I wouldn't want to have been the person who discovered this unfortunate reaction!)
