In a recent experiment, anti-bacterial hand sanitizer was compared to hand soap. Students washed their hands using the sanitizer

or soap and warm water for two minutes; then they dried their hands with a paper towel. The standard of comparison was rubbing hands vigorously for 2 minutes in warm water, without any soap or sanitizer, and then drying with a paper towel. The sanitizer advertisement claimed to kill bacteria more effectively than any soap. After washing, hands were swabbed and then the swab applied to a culture plate and incubated. Finally, the bacterial cultures were counted and recorded in the data table. Students concluded that the hand sanitizer was most effective in killing bacteria.
How would you respond to the students' conclusion?
A) The conclusion is valid; the sanitizer plates had higher numbers.
B) The conclusion is not valid; there were fewer bacteria cultures on the soap plates.
C) The conclusion is not valid because the warm water was as effective as the sanitizer.
D) The conclusion is valid because the sanitizer had a better kill rate than the soaps.

Answer:

Option D, The conclusion is valid because the sanitizer had a better kill rate than the soaps.

Explanation:

Sanitizers have alcohol in them as a main constituent which is primarily responsible for killing the bacteria and germs.

The main concept behind the efficient working of sanitizers is that when alcohol with in the sanitizer is rubbed on hand , it neutralizes the functioning of bacteria, viruses and in some cases fungis to an extent of killing 99.9 % of these microbes with in 30 seconds. Mostly all the sanitizers have ethyl alcohol as a main constituent.

Hence, option D is correct

A solar and wind power challenge is that it is
notka56 [123]
1) Variability: This is the biggest and most vexing.
Power plants that run on fuel (along with some hydro and geothermal plants) can be ramped up and down on command. They are, in the jargon, "dispatchable." But VRE plants produce power only when the wind is blowing or the sun is shining. Grid operators don't control VRE, they accommodate it, which requires some agility.

2) Uncertainty: The output of VRE plants cannot be predicted with perfect accuracy in day-ahead and day-of forecasts, so grid operators have to keep excess reserve running just in case.

3) Location-specificity: Sun and wind are stronger (and thus more economical) in some places than in others — and not always in places that have the necessary transmission infrastructure to get the power to where it's needed.

4) Nonsynchronous generation: Conventional generators provide voltage support and frequency control to the grid. VRE generators can too, potentially, but it's an additional capital investment.

5) Low capacity factor: VRE plants only run when sun or wind cooperates.
