Desalination requires high energy consumption to boil the mixture and separate the water from salt. The overall yield of potable water is also not very high. It is very expensive to build the desalination plant and the process produces a lot of waste.

2.

‘Like dissolves like.’ Water-soluble vitamins are polar. They have a positive charge at one end and a negative charge at the other while fat-soluble vitamins do not. They have more polar than non-polar groups this mixing with polar water molecules. Fat-soluble vitamins are non-polar. They have few or no polar groups this blending with non-polar lipids. Water in this case is the polar solvent while fats would be a non-polar solvent.

3.

Save electricity and burning of coal for energy:
a. Save the use of a dryer
b. Reduce production of NO2
c. Saving water and energy
d. Saving energy needed for continual heating
e. Reduce production of NO2 from transporting of food

4.

a. By burning more coal, there will be more air pollutants and smoke in the air closer to the plant. This will affect the visibility since the particles will reflect light and lower visibility.
b. Normal pH of rain is 5.3. For every pH the acidity will change by 10times. So if the rain is 10times more acidic, the pH will be 5.3-1=4.3
