1. How does protein substance in animal hide or skin be preserved from bacterial infection during tanning? 2. What is the role of calcium carbonate in the blast furnace during the extraction of iron?
3. If you wanted to electroplate a bronze medal with silver, which metal would you use for the anode and which metal would you use for the cathode?
4. Mention at least three causes of water pollution
5. Mention at least three methods that reduce air pollution?
Please give me a brief explanation.

1. By being cured

2. To remove the silica impurities from haemetite

3. The cathode will be bronze while the anode will be the silver

4. i) Wastes from industrial processes

ii) Waste waters and sewage

iii) Dumping of wastes into water bodies

5) Three methods to reduce air pollution includes

i) Promote the use of recycled of materials

ii) Promote and use renewable sources of energy

iii) Limit activities that involve the burning of fuels such as encouraging the use of mass transit buses, preventing the occurrence of fires in forests

Explanation:

1. In order to preserve the proteins in the hides of animal skin from putrefaction they are cured with salt to remove by, osmotic pressure difference,  the water content present in the animal hide

2. To remove the silica impurities from haemetite

The calcium oxide obtained from the decomposition of calcium carbonate undergoes a chemical reaction with the sand impurities in the mineral, haematite, to form calcium silicate or s l a g

3. Electroplating involves charging the metal to be electroplated negatively that is making it the cathode and placing it in an electrolytic cell that has a solution of the metal ions containing the metal salts

Therefore, the bronze medal to be plated with silver will be made the cathode while the silver from which we obtain the silver ions will be made the anode

4. Three causes of water pollution includes

Wastes from industrial processes

Waste waters and sewage

Dumping of wastes into water bodies

5.  The major causes of air pollution are the oxides produced from the combustion of fossil fuels such as sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide as well as chemical gases from industrial processes.

the ozone layer acts as a filter for the shorter wavelength and highly hazardous ultraviolet radiation (uvr) from the sun, protecting life on earth from its potentially harmful effects. when the sky is clear, there is an inverse relationship between stratospheric ozone and solar uvr measured at the earth's surface.
