1.

Reasons:

– The process is costly/expensive and requires a lot of energy.

– The desalination’s briny waste stream pollutes the ocean, which may lead to the destruction of local ecosystems.

– Quantity of water produced through desalination techniques is not as great.( low output and hence, not efficient )

2.

Water-soluble vitamins are expected to be polar compounds while fat-soluble vitamins are expected to be non-polar compounds.

Only polar compounds are able to dissolve in polar solvents like water. Water-soluble vitamins have polar groups and hence, are soluble in polar solvents. Fat-soluble compounds are non-polar and are only soluble in Lipids.

3.

a: Hanging your laundry is a natural way to dry clothes (instead of using a dryer which consumes electricity and energy)

b: By choosing to walk, bike or take public transportation instead of driving cars, it reduces NOx and SO2 emissions

c: Energy efficiency. Running dishwashers and washing machines with small loads is energy-inefficient

d: This minimizes heat loss, which helps to conserve energy

e: Saves shipping cost. It will also lessen the use of transport and reduce emissions

4.

a. Burning coal will produce SO2 and SO3, forming acids when dissolved in water. Sulphuric acid will form tiny droplets and these droplets do not absorb sunlight. They reflect it, inducing visibility.

b. Carbonic acid dissociates slightly, leading to rain with a pH of 5.3
10 times more acidic of pH 5.3 will be pH 4.3
