How natural plants and wetlands purify water

Chemistry
1 answer:
DedPeter [7]3 years ago
7 0
Plants and wetlands purify water by acting as filter media. The roots of the plants and the wetlands would trap pollutants like sediments and hold onto the. In wetlands, the flow of water is slow allowing for the sediments to settle due to gravity onto the bottom where the plants would accumulate them into place. With this, excess nutrients would be remove and will prevent polluting bodies of water. Also, bacteria like E. coli and Salmonella can be filtered out from the water. There are plants that works excellent for filtering out pollutants like the lilies, hornwort, bulrushes and rushes.

What would happen if carbon -14 gained 1 proton and lost 1 neutron?
sleet_krkn [62]
D. To answer this question refer to the periodic table and think logically about it. Adding one proton increases the atomic number so you go along the row to Nitrogen. If you lose one neutron then the atomic mass decreases by 1 so 14-1 is 13.

To what volume should 25ml of 15m nitric acid be diluted to prepare a 3m solution
Maurinko [17]

We can use the dilution formula to find the volume of the diluted solution to be prepared

c1v1 = c2v2

Where c1 is concentration and v1 is volume of the concentrated solution

And c2 is concentration and v2 is volume of the diluted solution to be prepared

Substituting the values in the equation

15 M x 25 mL = 3 M x v2

v2 = 125 mL

The 25 mL concentrated solution should be diluted with distilled water upto 125 mL to make a 3 M solution

igomit [66]

Answer:

6118.11\frac{in}{min}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by knowing that 1 inch equals 2.54 cm and 60 seconds equals 1 min, the resulting value results:

=259\frac{cm}{s}*\frac{1in}{2.54cm}*\frac{60s}{1min}\\   \\=6118.11\frac{in}{min}

Best regards.

An 80 kg long jumper in flight accelerates at a rate of 10 m/s^2. What is the force of the long jumper
Katarina [22]

Answer:

F = 800 N

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass = 80 Kg

Acceleration = 10 m/s²

Force = ?

Solution:

Formula:

<em>F = m × a </em>

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Now we will put the values in formula:

<em>F = m × a </em>

F = 80 kg <em>× </em>10 m/s²

F = 800 kg.m/s²

kg.m/s² = N

F = 800 N
