Reverse osmosis purification can remove vital minerals from water. This has a doubled effect, because this water then leeches minerals from the body.

What is the formula of calcium fluoride?

The reason it becomes stable is because Ca has 2 valence electrons that it wants to get rid of to become stable. F has 7 valence electrons and wants 1 more to become stable. So, TWO F atoms each take 1 of the 2 electrons from Ca. They form an ionic bond as Ca^2+ and 2F^- to make CaF2.


Why is chlorine and fluoride added to water?

Fluoride is added to publicly supplied drinking water for its prophylactic benefit in retarding or preventing toot decay, especially in growing children. That happens because tooth enamel acts as a semi- permeable membrane and allows the passage of fluoride ion necessary to impart decay resistance. It is much the same as prophylactic fluoride treatments that dentists provide to children during routine dental visits--only in much lower concentration.


What substance can be used to get rid of sulphur dioxide?

Sulfur doxide can be removed with a caustic solution such as NaOH in water.


Is sodium fluoride a byproduct of aluminum?

Sodium Fluoride is an industrial waste byproduct from aluminum manufacturing. In 1945 local water treatment facilities began to add sodium fluoride to our water supply. The sodium fluoride put in our water is not a pharmaceutical grade additive. As aluminum production increased in the first half of the twentieth century, it became necessary to find somewhere to put the fluoride. Manufacturers could no longer get away with dumping it into rivers or landfills, because it was poisoning crops and making livestock sick. Francis Frary, chief scientist for ALCOA, commissioned Gerald Cox at the Mellon Institute, to conduct research regarding the benefits of adding fluoride to the water supply. The Mellon Institute was frequently hired by big business to produce research that supported their industries, and for several decades they produced research showing that asbestos was safe and did not cause cancer. The "research science" done to support water fluoridation was underwritten by these massive companies: Aluminum Company of America (ALCOA) Aluminum Company of Canada American Petroleum Institute Dupont Kaiser Aluminum Reynolds Steel US Steel National Institute of Dental Research They also produced reports assuring everyone that fluoride was not toxic and would be beneficial to add to our drinking water for healthy teeth. Another proponent of the safety of fluoride at that time was scientist Harold Hodge, who was later revealed to have been part of the ''Human Radiation Experiment''; injecting test subjects with plutonium and uranium in 1945-46. This was documented by Pulitzer Prize winning reporter Eileen Welsonne in "The Plutonium Files." Hodge was also chief toxicologist of ''The Manhattan Project'' and fluoride was a key component in the production of the atom bomb. His studies were conducted with a bias toward proving fluoride safe, which would protect the government and industry from lawsuits. See the related link.


How do plants release extra water?

water is one of the major basic need of the plants.The water in plants is used for photosynthesis,transpiration and carry out many other functions like transportation of different material etc.the access water is removed in the form of water vapours by the process of transpiration.sometimes,the removal of this axcess water takes place byGUTTATION.

What is a ro water filter and where can one be obtained?

A RO (Reverse Osmosis) water filter gets rid of oestrogen and endo-crime disrupters, thereby purifying the water. A RO water filter can be purchased from stores such as Amazon or through a plumber.

How does osmosis and diffusion work in amoeba?

Amoeba obtains oxygen via diffusion; it takes in water by osmosis, but I would think this is more of a problem, since Amoeba lives in a freshwater environment, and water is always entering by osmosis. Amoeba's problem is getting rid of that water, which it does by means of contractile vacuoles.


How can you clean the rainwater?

It is already pretty clean. So if it does not pick up contaminants in collection, a simple reverse osmosis system would get rid of most bad things.

What is RO Plant?

R.o is reverse osmosis a term used for purifying water water is first cleans throgh a sediment filter to get rid of detritus then on to a carbon filter before final polishing by going through the "osmotic" membrane where in simple terms water is pushed through but only the purest water can get through the membrane the rest goes to drain

How do cells use the process of osmosis and diffusion to take in nutrients and to get rid of wastes?

== == Diffusion is: the movement of particles from regions of higher concentration to regions of lower concentration. Osmosis is: the diffusion of water through a semipermeable membrane.


How are cells affected by osmosis?

The cell membrane does not move during osmosis. Osmosis is defined as "the net movement of water molecules across a semi-permeable membrane following a concentration gradient."
