A scientist is wondering why a certain region in the ocean doesn't have maximum phytoplankton growth, despite having plenty of n

utrients. The scientist samples the water for nutrient levels and finds that there is 2.5 ug/L of Phosphorus and 27ug/L of Nitrogen. What can be said about the water?
A) The water is nitrogen limited
B) The water is phosphorus limited
C) The water has an adequate nitrogen and phosphorus, so it is likely iron limited
D) The water has adequate nutrients, but is likely limited by light availability

Answer:

C The water had adequate nitrogen and phosphorus, so it is likely iron limited.

Explanation:

Phytoplankton are single- cell organisms that live in oceans.

They require nitrogen, phosphorus and trace amount of iron to survive.

From the scientist's results after testing the water for nitrogen and phosphorus,there are reasonable amount of these elements.

Therefore insufficient iron in the water is the reason why he could find plenty phytoplankton in the ocean.

Answer:

3.02× 10²⁴ atoms

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of nitrogen atoms = ?

Number of moles of N₂O = 2.51 mol

Solution:

1 mole contain 2 mole of nitrogen atoms.

2.51 × 2 = 5.02  mol

According to Avogadro number,

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

5.02  mol ×  6.022 × 10²³ atoms / 1 mol

30.2 × 10²³ atoms

3.02× 10²⁴ atoms

Use the following half-reactions to design a voltaic cell: Sn4+(aq) + 2 e− → Sn2+(aq) Eo = 0.15 V Ag+(aq) + e−→ Ag(s) Eo = 0.80
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

E° = 0.65 V

Explanation:

Let's consider the following reductions and their respective standard reduction potentials.

Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ → Sn²⁺(aq) E°red = 0.15 V

Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E°red = 0.80 V

The reaction with the highest reduction potential will occur as a reduction while the other will occur as an oxidation. The corresponding half-reactions are:

Reduction (cathode): Ag⁺(aq) + e⁻ → Ag(s) E°red = 0.80 V

Oxidation (anode): Sn²⁺(aq) → Sn⁴⁺(aq) + 2 e⁻ E°red = 0.15 V

The overall cell potential (E°) is the difference between the standard reduction potential of the cathode and the standard reduction potential of the anode.

E° = E°red, cat - E°red, an = 0.80 V - 0.15 V = 0.65 V

How many grams of water are needed to dissolve 27.8 g of ammonium nitrate NH4NO3 in order to prepare a 0.452 m solution?
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer: 770 g water are needed to dissolve 27.8 g of ammonium nitrate NH_4NO_3 in order to prepare a 0.452 m solution

Explanation:

Molality : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present per kg of solvent

Formula used :

Molality=\frac{n\times 1000}{W_s}

where,

n= moles of solute

Moles of NH_4NO_3=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}=\frac{27.8g}{80.0g/mol}=0.348moles  

W_s = weight of the solvent in g = ?

0.452=\frac{0.348\times 1000}{W_s}

W_s=770g

Thus 770 g water are needed to dissolve 27.8 g of ammonium nitrate NH_4NO_3 in order to prepare a 0.452 m solution

A container contains a mixture of hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen gases. The pressure of hydrogen is 78 kPa. The pressure of oxyge
Nuetrik [128]

<u>Answer:</u> The total pressure of the container is 140.2416 kPa

<u>Explanation:</u>

Dalton's law of partial pressure states that the total pressure of the system is equal to the sum of partial pressure of each component present in it.

To calculate the total pressure, we use the law given by Dalton, which is:

P_T=p_{H_2}+p_{O_2}+p_{N_2}

We are given:

Vapor pressure of hydrogen gas, p_{H_2} = 78 kPa

Vapor pressure of oxygen gas, p_{O_2} = 2.4416 kPa

Vapor pressure of nitrogen gas, p_{N_2} = 59.8 kPa

Putting values in above equation, we get:

P_T=78+2.4416+59.8\\\\P_T=140.2416kPa

Hence, the total pressure of the container is 140.2416 kPa
