Hello there!

It would be better to be an r-selected species if the water resources in an area were to become more limited because they tend to reproduce faster than other animals

Hope this helps! :)

An r-selected species reproduces much faster than K-selected species.

r-selected species focuses on maturing and reproducing quickly. r-selected species will probably reproduce when the water supply is there for the short period of time; thus, increasing the chance of the r-selected species of surviving.

K-selected species, on the other hand, focus on raising their young and reproduce later. Since the K-selected species take long to mature before reproducing, water supply may run out before they have a chance of fully maturing; thus, K-selected species have a lower chance of survival.

Hope this helps.
If you need anything more, feel free to comment! Have an awesome day! :)

Which of the following concerning second ionization energies is true?
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

The fact is that the both elements belong to different groups in the periodic table. Mg is in group 12 while Al is in group 13. The outer most electron configuration for Mg2+=[Ne]3s0

Al+= [Ne]3s13p0

It is evident that in Al+, the second electron is to be removed from a filled 3s subshell which is energetically unfavourable. Unlike In Mg2+ where the two electrons are removed. There is always a tendency towards a quick loss of all the valence electrons in the valence shell. It will be more difficult to remove an electron from a filled shell.

What is the ratio of the concentration of potassium ions to the concentration of carbonate ions in a 0.015 m solution of potassi
tia_tia [17]

The ratio of the concentration of potassium ions (K⁺) to the concentration of carbonate ions (CO₃²⁻) = 2: 1

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Stochiometry in Chemistry studies about chemical reactions mainly emphasizes quantitative, such as the calculation of volume, mass, amount, which is related to the number of actions, molecules, elements, etc.

Reaction equations are chemical formulations for reagents and product substances

Reaction coefficients are numbers in the chemical formula of substances involved in the reaction equation. Reaction coefficients are useful for balancing reagents and products.

The reaction coefficient shows the ratio of the number of moles or molecules of the reacting substance

The ionization reaction is the reaction of the decomposition of a substance into its ions when the substance is dissolved in water.

  • Molarity (M)

Molarity shows the number of moles of solute in every 1 liter of solution.

\large{\boxed {\bold {M ~ = ~ \frac {n} {V}}}

Electrolytes will dissociate into ions when dissolved in water

While non-electrolyte solutions do not produce ions

Electrolyte solutions can be

  • 1. Electrolytes are strong if in a solution can be fully ionized usually expressed by the degree of ionization α = 1
  • 2. Electrolytes are weak if in ions the solution is only partially ionized. The degree of ionization ranges from 0 <α <1

Potassium carbonate (K₂CO₃) will dissociate into ions

K₂CO₃ ⇒ 2K⁺+ CO₃²⁻

Comparison of reaction coefficients = mole ratio = concentration ratio for the same volume, so

The mole ratio of the ions is

K⁺ : CO₃²⁻ = 2: 1

This comparison also shows the ratio of concentrations of ions: (K₂CO₃ concentration = 0.015 M)

K⁺: CO₃²⁻ = 2.0.015: 1.0.015

K⁺: CO₃²⁻ = 0.03: 0.015 = 2: 1

The Lewis structures of four compounds are given. In the first molecule sufur is the central atom. There are two oxygen atoms bo
vesna_86 [32]

Answer:

Compound 1. Sulfur Dioxide

Compound 3. Dichloromethane

Compound 4. Phosphorus Trichloride

<em>(figure attached)</em>

Explanation:

Compound 1. Sulfur Dioxide

Polar compound

Through the Lewis structure it is confirmed that SO₂ is a polar compound, because it is an asymmetric compound having two regions of different polarity. The lower region having oxygen groups is more electronegative then the upper region.

Compound 2. Carbon Dioxide

Non polar Compound

Through the Lewis structure it is confirmed that CO₂ is a non polar compound, because it is a symmetric compound having two regions of same polarity. The left region and the right region both contains oxygen groups having same electronegativity.

Compound 3. Dichloromethane

Polar compound

Through the Lewis structure it is confirmed that CH₂Cl₂ is a polar compound, because it is an asymmetric compound having two regions of different polarity. Two chlorine atoms are attached to it and as we know that chlorine is a more electronegative element than hydrogen so it attracts the bonding pair of electrons towards itself which creates polarity.

Compound 4. Phosphorus Trichloride

Through the Lewis structure it is confirmed that PCl₃ is a polar compound, because three chlorine atoms attached to it and as we know that chlorine is a more electronegative element so it attracts the bonding pair of electrons towards itself which creates polarity.

an unknown metal of mass 512 g at a temperature of 15C is dropped into 325 g of water held in a 100 g aluminum container at the
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.843J/g°C

Explanation:

Hello,

To determine the specific heat capacity of the metal, we have to work on the principle of heat loss by the metal is equals to heat gained by the water.

Heat gained by the metal = heat loss by water + calorimeter

Data,

Mass of metal (M1) = 512g

Mass of water (M2) = 325g

Initial temperature of the metal (T1) = 15°C

Initial temperature of water (T2) = 98°C

Final temperature of the mixture (T3) = 78°C

Specific heat capacity of metal (C1) = ?

Specific heat capacity of water (C2) = 4.184J/g°C

Heat loss = heat gain

M2C2(T2 - T3) = M1C1(T3 - T1)

325 × 4.184 × (98 - 78) = 512 × C1 × (78 - 15)

1359.8 × 20 = 512C1 × 63

27196 = 32256C1

C1 = 27196 / 32256

C1 = 0.843J/g°C

The specific heat capacity of the metal is 0.843J/g°C
