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.

Cacodyl, which has an intolerable garlicky odor and is used in the manufacture of cacodylic acid, a cotton herbicide, has a mass
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The molecular formula of cacodyl is C₄H₁₂As₂.

Explanation:

<u>Let's assume we have 1 mol of cacodyl</u>, in that case we'd have 209.96 g of cacodyl and the<u> following masses of its components</u>:

  • 209.96 g * 22.88/100 = 48.04 g C
  • 209.96 g * 5.76/100 = 12.09 g H
  • 209.96 g * 71.36/100 = 149.83 g As

Now we convert those masses into moles:

  • 48.04 g C ÷ 12 g/mol = 4.00 mol C
  • 12.09 g H ÷ 1 g/mol = 12.09 mol H
  • 149.83 g As ÷ 74.92 g/mol = 2.00 mol As

Those amounts of moles represent the amount of each component in 1 mol of cacodyl, thus, the molecular formula of cacodyl is C₄H₁₂As₂.

Q1) A vapor-compression refrigeration system operates on the cycle of Fig. 9.1. The refrigerant is 1,1,1,2-Tetrafluoroethane. Gi
hoa [83]

Answer:

i)   0.5071 (kg/s)

ii)  -1407.1 kj/kg

iii)  204.05 Kw

iv)  5.881

v)    9.238

Explanation:

Given Data:

evaporation temperature ( T ) = 4°c = 277.15 K

Condensation Temperature ( T ) = 34°c = 307.15 K

<em>n</em> ( compressor efficiency ) = 0.76

refrigeration rate = 1200 kJ.s^-1

i) determine the circulation rate of the refrigerant

m = \frac{Q}{H2 - H1}  = \frac{Q}{H2 - H4\\}  ------- 1

Q = 1200 Kj.s^-1

H2 = entropy at step 2 = 2508.9 (kJ / kg ) ( gotten from Table F )

H4 = entropy at step 4 = 142.4 ( kJ/ kg )

back to equation 1

m ( circulation rate of refrigerant ) = 0.5071 (kg/s)

ii) heat transfer rate in the condenser

Q = m ( H4 - H3 )

    = 0.5071 ( 142.4 - 2911.27 )

    = -1407.1 kj/kg

where H3 = H2 + ΔH23 = 2911.27 (kj/kg) ( as calculated )

iii) power requirement

w = m * ΔH23

   = 0.5071 (kg/s) * 402.37 (kj/kg) =  204.05 Kw

where: ΔH23 = \frac{H'3 - H2 }{0.76} = \frac{2814.7-2508.9}{0.76} = 402.37 (kj/kg)

iv) coefficient of performance of a cycle

W = Qc / w

  = 1200 Kj.s^-1/ 204.05 kw

  = 5.881

v) coefficient of performance of a Carnot refrigeration cycle

w_{carnot} = \frac{T2}{T4 - T2}

            =  277.15 / ( 307.15 - 277.15 )

            = 9.238

Calculate the radius ratio for NaBr if the ionic radii of Na + and Br − are 102 pm and 196 pm , respectively. radius ratio: Base
Fudgin [204]

Answer : The expected coordination number of NaBr is, 6.

Explanation :

Cation-anion radius ratio : It is defined as the ratio of the ionic radius of the cation to the ionic radius of the anion in a cation-anion compound.

This is represented by,

\frac{r_{cation}}{r_{anion}}

When the radius ratio is greater than 0.155, then the compound will be stable.

Now we have to determine the radius ration for NaBr.

Given:

Radius of cation, Na^+ = 102 pm

Radius of cation, Br^- = 196 pm

\frac{r_{cation}}{r_{anion}}=\frac{102}{196}=0.520

As per question, the radius of cation-anion ratio is between 0.414-0.732. So, the coordination number of NaBr will be, 6.

The relation between radius ratio and coordination number are shown below.

Therefore, the expected coordination number of NaBr is, 6.
