Answer:

The correct answer is 1.778 milligrams per liter.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, the concentration of chlorine gas given is 27 pounds or 27*453.59 = 12327.93 grams.

The quantity of water given is 750000 gallons or 750000 * 3.754 = 2815500 L

The concentration of chlorine used up by the microorganism is 2.6 mg/L or 0.0026 gm/L.

Thus, for 2815500 L of water, the amount of chlorine used is,

= 2815500 * 0.0026

= 7320.3 grams

The left quantity of chlorine is 12327.93 - 7320.3 = 5007.63 grams

The concentration of residual chlorine is,

= 5007.63 g/2815500 = 0.00177859 or 1.778 mg/L.

Which of the following characteristics describes aerobic organisms.
horsena [70]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Aerobic organisms are the organisms which survive and grow in the presence of oxygen.

When oxidation of glucose occurs in the presence of oxygen then it is known as aerobic respiration.

In aerobic respiration, food releases energy to produce ATP which is necessary for cell activity. There is complete breakdown of glucose in aerobic respiration that is why more energy is released. Therefore, aerobic organisms become active.

Thus, we can conclude that characteristics very active, efficient use of energy describes aerobic organisms.

How much heat is needed warm 65.34 g of water from 18.43 to 21.75
BaLLatris [955]

Given that  

Mass of water = 65.34 g

Amount of heat = mass of water * specific heat (temperature change

)

= 65.34 g * 4.184 J / g-C ( 21.75-18.43 )C

= 907.63  J  

= 0.908 KJ

And  

1 cal = 4.186798 J

907.63 J * 1 cal / 4.186798 J =216.78  cal

Or0.218 kcal
