Quiz on Water Pollution and Copper Remediation

What is the role of copper in the human body?

• It is not needed

• It is needed in small amounts

• It is needed in large amounts

• It is harmful

What is the main challenge with current copper remediation processes?

• They are too fast

• They are expensive and not always effective

• They are too cheap

• They are too simple

What does the article suggest about ZIOS in acidic environments?

• It does not work

• It works well

• It is too expensive

• It is harmful

What is the main benefit of ZIOS according to the article?

• It is cheap to produce

• It reduces copper levels in water

• It increases copper levels

• It is a natural material

What is the main focus of the introduction section?

• The benefits of copper

• The dangers of heavy metals

• The history of copper

• The uses of copper

What is the role of hydrogen bonds in ZIOS?

• They dissolve the structure

• They hold the molecules together in a crystalline structure

• They repel copper ions

• They increase the temperature

What did the researchers use to see how the different molecules arranged themselves in ZIOS?

• Microscopes

• X-rays

• Magnifying glasses

• Telescopes

What is the significance of using a supramolecular structure in ZIOS?

• It makes the structure heavier

• It allows molecules to bond together rather than atoms

• It changes the color of the structure

• It increases the temperature

What is one of the key findings about ZIOS in reducing copper in water?

• ZIOS can reduce copper by 10 times faster than other adsorbents.

• ZIOS can reduce copper by 20 times faster than other adsorbents.

• ZIOS can reduce copper by 50 times faster than other adsorbents.

• ZIOS can reduce copper by 5 times faster than other adsorbents.

Why does ZIOS work effectively in acidic environments?

• Because it increases the pH level

• Because copper levels remain high

• Because copper levels went down to similar levels at low pH

• Because it only works in neutral pH
