B) Explain three ways by which water can be purified in the home

Chemistry
1 answer:
frosja888 [35]4 years ago
6 0

Explanation:

Water can be purified from through...

Filtration - This involves the use of filter paper to remove solid objects found in water.

Boiling - This involves keeping water at 100 deg celcius for a while through application of heat and this kills microorganisms in the water.

Addition of alum - Alum causes very fine and small particles that are suspending in water to stick together making them large enough to be removed through filtration.

Chemicals used in water treatment...

Chlorine - Chlorine is used to kill bacteria, viruses and other disease causing pathogens found in water

That's all I know...

Which noble gas will Selenium try to resemble when it becomes an ION?
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

Krypton

Explanation:

When Selenium forms an ion, it is trying to become krypton which is a noble gas.

Selenium belongs to the oxygen group on the periodic table. In this group, the atoms prefers to gain two electrons to complete their octet. When selenium gains two electrons, its octet is complete.

This will make the atom resemble krypton on the periodic table of elements.

This structure which is an octet confers a special stability on the element.

Concentrated hydrochloric acid, HCl, comes with an approximate molar concentration of 12.1 M. If you are instructed to prepare 3
Semmy [17]

Answer:

28.20 mL of the stock solution.

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Molarity of stock solution (M1) = 12.1 M

Volume of diluted solution (V2) = 350.0 mL

Molarity of diluted solution (M2) = 0.975 M

Volume of stock solution needed (V1) =..?

The volume of stock solution needed can be obtained by using the dilution formula as shown below:

M1V1 = M2V2

12.1 x V1 = 0.975 x 350

Divide both side by 12.1

V1 = (0.975 x 350)/12.1

V1 = 28.20 mL.

Therefore, 28.20 mL of the stock solution will be needed to prepare 350.0 mL of 0.975 M HCl solution.

Please help me with this!: Beverages such as pop and fizzy water are carbonated by dissolved CO2. Explain in detail why pop will
brilliants [131]

Answer:

If the cap is left off, some of the dissolved CO2 can escape as gas from the bottle, making the pop go flat faster (less dissolved CO2 in pop). If the cap is placed tightly, the gaseous CO2 cannot readily escape the bottle thus your pop won't go flat

Explanation:

If the cap is left off, some of the dissolved CO2 can escape as gas from the bottle, making the pop go flat faster. If the cap is placed tightly, the gaseous CO2 cannot readily escape the bottle thus your pop won't go flat.

Just some fun related concept:

A similar concept comes into play for the reason behind why pop tastes better in fridge then just keeping at normal temperature. This is because gases tend to have high solubility at cold temperatures thus CO2 is more readily dissolved in fridge than outside room temperature which is why it tastes great!

Explain why aluminum does not react with potassium nitrate (KNO3) although it reacts with copper nitrate
Ratling [72]

Answer:

Potassium is more reactive than aluminium, so no reaction takes place. But aluminium is more reactive than copper, so it replaces the copper in copper nitrate

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

More reactive metal compound + less reactive metal

-> no reaction

However

Less reactive metal compound + more reactive metal

-> more reactive metal compound + less reactive metal

This is called substitution reaction where the more reactive metal replaces the less reactive metal in the compound.
