Chlorine

Water pollution or water contamination is a severe problem, experienced by millions across the world. Consequently, many people resort to buying packaged drinking water that upsets the monthly budget heavily. Others who cannot afford to purchase the same every day, resort to using a water purifier, which is a onetime investment. However, if you need a permanent solution, the best way is to buy a House Water Filter from a reliable company. The best one is with coconut shell carbon filters as they…

In Co(NH3)6Cl3, since the complex has a total charge of zero, ammonia has an oxidation number of 0, chlorine has an oxidation number of -1, cobalt has an oxidation number of +3. Therefore, there are four electrons in the d orbital of a cobalt in this complex. Figure 8 gives the possible high spin and low spin combinations for four d orbital electrons. The high spin config- uration has four unpaired electrons and the low spin configuration has two unpaired electrons. Figure 7. High and low…

water to make it clump together. Second, the water clumps are shaken into larger clumps called flocs. Next, the water has to stand for twenty-four hours which allows the clumps to settle to the bottom. Then, the water is filtered and disinfected with chlorine. Finally, the water goes through aeration which helps remove certain contaminants (How Water…

tradition with others for as long as I can remember. When ever I walk past them in the park I smell the metal, and makes me remember the races I have done. Second sculpture is the two story fountain. This one does not give a metal smell, but the smell of chlorine to keep the water clean. And when you drive past it in the summer time you really can’t miss the smell. This fountain adds a little bit of extra excitement for people to enjoy. During the spring, and summer months this fountain is in…

areas—reducing the chance of ice forming by lowering the freezing point. In the treatment of water for Brisbane, the water is first filtered, and then ammonia and chlorine (in the form of hypochlorous acid, HOCl) are added to form chloramine, which kills any remaining bacteria and viruses. Chloramine (NH2Cl) is a compound made from chlorine and ammonia.The concentration of chloramine is maintained in the water to ensure bacteria do not re-grow in the distribution system. HOCl + NH3 → NH2Cl +…

Wastewater can be formed from domestic, industrial, agricultural, commercial activities or any combination of these. Rainwater runoff is also considered as wastewater. This wastewater is full of chemicals, bacterial, viruses and other contaminants regardless where it comes from. Based on this reason, wastewater treatment is needed and crucial for converting the wastewater into an effluent that can be either discharged to the environment or reused. However, wastewater treatment plant posed safety…

In 1962, Rachel Carson, an acclaimed author, asked the country what it would be like if there were no birds singing in the trees when they went outdoors. What would it be like to have a “silent spring”? Carson brought to light the impact of the commonly used pesticide dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) on the ecosystem, most specifically how it affected birds and other wildlife, at a time when such considerations were not a part of the public discourse (PAN). Over the next several years,…

It is 10 am and I am on the road and on my way to the same place I have been to a great deal of times. I am a bubbly yet impatient nine year old who is ready for the drive in this ancient 1990s hatchback to be over. My two cousins and I are squished in the backseat like a freshly opened can of sardines. The rays of the sun hitting the right backseat window make us sweaty and also makes the ride seem never ending. We sing along to the girly pop songs on the radio to pass the time. Finally, when I…

Conclusion The empirical formula of the copper chloride hydrate compound is CuCl2 · 2H2O. Discussion of Theory The technique of gravimetric analysis can be used to find the empirical formula of a compound when the amount of it is known. By dehydrating the copper chloride hydrate sample and using it for an elemental copper-producing chemical reaction, one can isolate the masses of the water, copper, and chloride and determine their mole ratios. Since the Law of Definite Proportions states that a…

There are many elements that humans come in contact with every day. One of these elements is ruthenium, and you see it almost every day if you use pens, electronics, or jewelry. There are many sources, uses, and health hazards for the element of ruthenium. Here are the locations where you can find ruthenium. There are two places in the world where you can find the element ruthenium. You can find it on the continent of North America in Canada and on the continent of Europe in Russia. In…
