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.

The temperature on a distant, undiscovered planet is expressed in degrees B. For example, water boils at 180 ∘ B and freezes at
marin [14]

Answer:

40.3∘C

Explanation:

At planet B;

Water boils = 180∘C

Water freezes = 50∘C

In this planet the temperature difference = 180 - 50 = 130 compared to earth where the temperature difference is; 100 - 0 = 100

This means;

130 ∘C = 100 ∘C

x ∘C = 31 ∘C

x = 31 * 130 / 100

x = 40.3∘C

Each response gives a pair of solutions. which pair of solutions should conduct electrical current equally well? 1. 0.10 m nh3 a
Crazy boy [7]

Answer : The correct answer is option 2 : 0.10 M NaCl and 0.10 M NaClO₄

Explanation :

Solutions are classified into 3 categories.

1) Strong electrolytes : These are the solutions that dissociate completely forming ions . They are good conductors of electricity.

Example : All strong acids, bases and the salts made by strong acid/base are strong electrolytes .

2) Weak electrolytes : These substances do not dissociate completely thereby forming fewer ions. They are weak conductors of electricity.

3) Non electrolytes : These are the substances that do not dissociate at all. They do not form ions in aqueous medium. They are bad conductors of electricity.

Let us take a look at the given options and find out what type of solution do we have .

Option 1 : NH₃ is a weak electrolyte whereas NH₄Cl is a strong electrolyte bcause NH₄Cl is made by combination of NH₃ and HCl ( HCl is a strong acid)

Therefore NH₃ would carry electricity less efficiently than NH₄Cl.

Option 2 : Both NaCl and NaClO₄ are strong electrolytes. Therefore they will conduct electrical current equally well

Option 3 : NaNO₃ is a strong electrolyte but HNO₂ is a weak electrolyte. Therefore they will not carry the current equally

Therefore the correct option is option 2

Predict what will observe in below mention experiment.
Sloan [31]

Predict what will be observed in each experiment below. Rock candy is formed when excess sugar is dissolved in hot water followed by crystallization. A student wants to make two batches of rock candy. He finds an unopened box of "cane sugar" in the pantry. He starts preparing batch A by dissolving sugar in 500 mL of hot water (70 degree C). He keeps adding sugar until no more sugar dissolves in the hot water. He cools the solution to room temperature. He prepares batch B by dissolving sugar in 500 mL of water at room temperature until no more sugar is dissolved. He lets the solution sit at room temperature

a. It is likely that more rock candy will be formed in batch A.

b. It is likely that less rock candy will be formed in batch A.

c. It is likely that no rock candy will be formed in either batch.

d. I need more information to predict which batch is more likely to form rock candy.

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

More rock candy will be formed in the batch A because it is dissolved in hot water and less rock candy will be formed in batch B because the water is not hot.

Formation of the candies require hot water as the solubility of sugar is more in hot water as compared to normal water.

The sugar will be dissolved in water until the time all the space is filled sugar molecules.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.

Suppose you perform a calorimeter experiment to determine the molar heat of neutralization of an unknown acid, H A HA, with sodi
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

-86.02 kJ/ mole

Explanation:

The moles of the acid used = Molarity × Volume (L) =

= 0.50 (0.0372 L)

= 0.0186 moles

The heat released = -1.6 kJ

∴ 0.0186 moles neutralization of HA heat is: -1.6 kJ

The molar heat of neutralization due to one mole of the unknown acid = -1.6/0.0186

= -86.02 kJ/ mole
