Potassium tetraoxomanganate (VII) is often added to impure water to?
reduce organic impurities
reduce inorganic impurities
destroy bacteria and algae
remove permanent hardness
Correct answer is C
Potassium permanganate is a point-of-entry treatment method that oxidizes dissolved iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide into solid particles that are filtered out of the water. It can also be used to control iron bacteria growth in wells.

The line observed in the sample hydrogen spectrum are due to emission of?
electrons from the atoms
energy by proton transition
energy by electron transition
neutron from the atom

Which of the following electron configurations indicates an atom with the highest ionization energy?
2,8,7
2,8,8,1
2,8,8,2
2,8,8,7
Correct answer is A
No explanation has been provided for this answer.
constituent particles acquires a greater kinetic energy
energy of vibration of particles of the solid is less than the intermolecular forces
constituent particles acquires energy above the average kinetic energy
energy of vibration of particles of the solid equals the intermolecular forces
Correct answer is D
When a solid is heated, the particles are given more energy and start to vibrate faster. At a certain temperature, the particles vibrate so much that their ordered structure breaks down. At this point the solid melts into liquid.
