Chlorine is used for disinfection at a water treatment plant that treats 0.20 m3 /s of reservoir water. when exposed to chlorine, the apparent inactivation rate (k*=kcn ) of giardia (a protozoan) is 0.53 min-1 , while the inactivation rate of e. coli (a bacteria) is 2.8 min-1. between giardia and e. coli, giardia is considered the primary pathogen of concern. based on the information given above, why is this the case?

the right is separation by density .

take the blood which is a good example of a heterogeneous mixture.

blood is a vital liquid in our body, which transports oxygen from the air to our lungs so we can breathe. it is also used to eject wastes, such as carbon dioxide, to bring cells and molecules of the immune system to the tissues, and to spread hormones throughout the body. it corresponds to plasma, red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets and hemoglobins combined.

in medical tests centrifugal force is used to separate the different components of the blood.

in general, the centrifugation will allow to separate and analyze the different components of the blood, to know if the rate of white blood cells in the blood of a patient, for example, is normal, and therefore to know if his system immune is integrity.

under the action of centrifugal force, the solid components in the blood are drawn to the bottom of the tube in which the blood is contained. the centrifugal force then acts as an accelerated settling. it separates plasma from red blood cells and white blood cells.

1. law of superposition: when there are horizontal layers of rock. the layers at the top are the youngest.

2. law of uncomformity: where one layer is much younger than the previous one, therefore creating a gap in the time record.

3. inclusion: when there is a solid stone inside of another.

4. intrusion: a feature formed when a stone is filled with magma.

hope i answered your question.
