Why factory waste should be neutralized before disposing it into the water bodies?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Fudgin [204]3 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Factory wastes are usually acidic and they pose serious environmental challenges.

If an untreated acidic waste is discharged into the river, the acidity of the river increases and this is toxic to life in the water.

On land, the acid can enter into the soil and prevent plant growth.

Acid discharge can enter the groundwater system and render it unfit for use.

Bases and a couple of additives are used to remove acidity from factory wastes before they are discharged.

Why are fossils found mainly in sedimentary rock? choose all that apply
jeka94

<em>"Sedimentary rocks are formed by the pressure over millions of years of organic material, inorganic material, sediment of course , and earth piling up over itself. Metamorphic rock and igneous rock originate either below the surface where plants lived and creatures roamed, or the heat from volcanic activity transformed everything. Sedimentary rock formation is the only geologic activity that permits and allows organic material preservation and hence fossil formation." </em>- <u>Charles Snider, Co-Founder of American Geode (on Quora.com)</u>

A population of Esherichia coli is given time to grow for eight generations. The final population is 1,996,800 cells. What was t
hram777 [196]

Answer:

7800 cells

Explanation:

The number of Escherichia coli cells N after n generations is given by

N = 2ⁿ × N₀ where N₀ = initial population

Now making N₀ subject of the formula, we have

N₀ = N/2ⁿ

Since n = 8 and N = 1,996,800 cells, substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

N₀ = N/2ⁿ

N₀ = 1,996,800 cells/2⁸

N₀ = 1,996,800 cells/256

N₀ = 7800 cells

So, the initial population of Escherichia coli cells is 7800 cells.
