What concentration of potassium permanganate is suitable for purifying drinking water?
Potassium permanganate (KMnO4) is poisonous in high concentrations, and is not typically used for disinfecting drinking water. It is used in low concentrations for iron and manganese oxidation as well as total organic carbon (TOC) reduction.High concentrations of KMnO4 result in pink colored water.
What is the concentration of phosphate which injecting in boiler feed water as a descaler?
Phosphate(PO4) is basically reacts with mineral dissolved salts in water and percipitates at high temperature. Generally we maintain 10 - 30ppm PO4 inside steam drum to avoidany deposition.
Is hydrogen peroxide corrosive?
In high concentrations it can be.
Is water an ionic compound that can dissolve only ions?
No. Water is a largely covalent compound that spontaneously ionizes only to give concentrations of 10-7 molar for each of hydrogen and hydroxide ions. However water also has a high dielectric constant and for that reason can dissolve many ionic compounds. Water can also dissolve sufficiently polar organic compounds, such as sugar, with little or no trace of ionic character.
Is 1000 parts per billion of phosphate high for drinking water?
This concentration of phosphates (1 000 ppb = 1 ppm = 1 mg/L) is without importance for drinking water.
Glycolysis is inhibited by high concentrations of?
ATP, citrate, or glucose-6-phosphate
How does the water in the cells behave when in high or low concentrations of water?
In high solute concentrations water will flow out of the cell. In low solute concentrations water will flow into the cell.
What is bone synthesis?
Precipitation of the salt calcium phosphate among fibers of the protein type I collagen. This results from raising the concentrations of calcium ions and phosphate ions beyond their "solubility product" concentration. This occurs next to special cells called osteocytes, and not inside their cytoplasm. Nobody has discovered the mechanism by which osteocytes pump high concentrations of calcium ions and also high concentrations of phosphate ions into the same locations. One theory is that a special protein ("osteoid") binds to both calcium ions and phosphate ions, so that they precipitate at concentrations that would not be high enough to cause precipitation if no osteoid were present. If you know how osteocytes cause bone synthesis, then you should publish this information in a refereed journal, such as Nature. akharris@bio.unc.edu
Rock formed when high concentrations crystallize in water?
Shale
The salinity of ocean water is due to high concentrations of?
Sodium chloride
Why should we worry about amount of phosphate found in water?
When phosphate is present in very high levels it is toxic to people or animals.
What is the diference between saltwater and fresh water?
The presence of high concentrations of Salt.
What is water containing high concentrations of calcium magnesium or iron called?
Such water is called "Hard".
What does the presence of E. coli in high concentrations in the water supply mean?
It means that the water is contaminated and it is unsafe to drink or use.
Does salt affect water evaporation?
In low concentrations, perhaps slightly. In high concentrations perhaps more so. But these effects would be rather slight. In practical daily situations:No

What does osmosis have to do with high concentrations of fertilizer salts in soils damaging plants?
Movement to meet higher over lower priority needs describes the role of osmosis in high concentrations of fertilizer salts in soils damaging plants. Solutes such as salts in the soil and water in plants and soils move from areas of high concentrations and volumes to lower. Salt in the soil will invade a plant's permeable roots from which water will be pulled into the soil in an attempt to equal concentrations and volumes, to the detriment of plants and soil food web members.
