The answer to this question is A
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:
How can you distinguish a physical change from a chemical change?
Explanation:
Answer:
C₂H₂O₃
Explanation:
The empirical formula of a compound is derived bu finding the whole ratios of the constituent elements.
In succinic acid, the ratios of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is calculated as follows:
<u>% mass</u>
Carbon- 40.60
Hydrogen - 5.18
Oxygen - 54.22
<u>RAM</u>
Carbon -12
Oxygen - 15.994
Hydrogen -1.008
<u>No of moles elements in the compound</u>
Carbon = 40.60/12=3.3833
Oxygen = 54.22/15.994= 3.39
Hydrogen= 5.18/1.008 = 5.1389
Mole ratios of the individual elements we divide by the smallest value of the number of moles.
Carbon: Hydrogen : Oxygen
3.3833/3.3833:3.39/3.3833:5.1389/3.3833
=1:1:1.5
We can multiply the value by 2 to get the whole number ratio.
=2:2:3
The empirical formula will be:
C₂H₂O₃
