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.

Oxygen is composed of three isotopes: oxygen-16, oxygen-17 and oxygen-18 and has an average atomic mass of 15.9982 amu. Oxygen-1
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The percent abundance of oxygen-18 is 1.9066%.

Explanation:

The average atomic mass of oxygen is given by:

m_{O} = m_{^{16}O}*\%_{16} + m_{^{17}O}*\%_{17} + m_{^{18}O}*\%_{18}

Where:

m: is the atomic mass

%: is the percent abundance

Since the sum of the percent abundance of oxygen isotopes must be equal to 1, we have:  

1 = \%_{16} + \%_{17} + \%_{18}

1 = x + 3.2 \cdot 10^{-4} + \%_{18}

\%_{18} = 1 - x - 3.2 \cdot 10^{-4}

Hence, the percent abundance of O-18 is:  

m_{O} = m_{^{16}O}*\%_{16} + m_{^{17}O}*\%_{17} + m_{^{18}O}*\%_{18}  

15.9982 = 15.972*x + 16.988*3.2 \cdot 10^{-4} + 17.970*(1 - 3.2 \cdot 10^{-4} - x)

x = 0.980614 \times 100 = 98.0614 \%                                                              

Hence, the percent abundance of oxygen-18 is:

\%_{18} = (1 - 3.2 \cdot 10^{-4} - 0.980614) \times 100 = 1.9066 \%                      

Therefore, the percent abundance of oxygen-18 is 1.9066%.

I hope it helps you!

Calculate the pH of a solution in which [OH–] = 4.5 × 10–9M.
posledela

Answer:

5.65 is the pH.

Explanation:

I am assuming that you are asking for confirmation on your answer. The answer is 5.65.

You would do:

[pOH] = -log[OH-]

          = -log[4.5*10^-9]

         equals about 8.3468

To find pH your would subtract the pOH from 14.

14-8.3468 = 5.65 << Rounded to match the answer choices.

Potassium cyanide is a toxic substance, and the median lethal dose depends on the mass of the person or animal that ingests it.
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

The volume will be 89.6875 ml

Explanation:

So to count this we will use a single proportion.

0.0640 mol - 1000 ml

5.74×10−3 mol - x ml

x ml=5.74×10−3 mol*1000 ml/0.0640 mol=89.6875 ml
