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.

What is occurring when reactants are mixed and heated and liquid collects in the sidearm of the apparatus
olga55 [171]

When reactants are mixed and heated and liquid collects in the sidearm of the apparatus, a chemical reaction is occurring.

<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>

A chemical reaction is said to occur when reactants are combined to form products. We must note that the formation of products is evidenced by;

  • Appearance of a liquid
  • Appearance of a gas
  • Appearance of a solid

Hence,  when reactants are mixed and heated and liquid collects in the sidearm of the apparatus, a chemical reaction is occurring.

Describe the many different forms of energy involved with stretching and releasing a rubber band. What other processes are simil
Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

Conversion of kinetic energy to potential energy (chemo mechanical energy)

In the state of rest, the rubber is a tangled mass of long chained cross-linked polymer that due to their disorderliness are in a state of increased entropy. By pulling on the polymer, the applied kinetic energy stretches the polymer into straight chains, giving them order and reducing their entropy. The stretched rubber then has energy stored in the form of chemo mechanical energy which is a form of potential energy

Conversion of the stored potential energy in the stretched to kinetic energy

By remaining in a stretched condition, the rubber is in a state of high potential energy, when the force holding the rubber in place is removed, due to the laws of thermodynamics, the polymers in the rubber curls back to their state of "random" tangled mass releasing the stored potential energy in the process and doing work such as moving items placed in the rubber's path of motion such as an object that has weight, w then takes up the kinetic energy 1/2×m×v² which can can result in the flight of the object.
