Why would it be better to be an r-selected species if the water resources in an area were to become more limited over a short pe

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! :)

The town of Natrium, West Virginia, derives its name from the sodium produced in the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride (NaC
Alona [7]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

           Na^{+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Na(s)

Hence, moles of Na = moles of electron used

Therefore, calculate the number of moles of sodium as follows.

       No. of moles = \frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}

                             = \frac{4500 g}{23 g/mol}    (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

                             = 195.65 mol

As,     Q = n \times F       where F = Faraday's constant

              = 195.65 mol \times 96500 C

              = 1.88 \times 10^{7} mol C

Relation between electrical energy and Q is as follows.

               E = Q \times V

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula and then calculate the value of electricity as follows.

              E = Q \times V

                 = 1.88 \times 10^{7} \times 5

                 = 9.4 \times 10^{7} J

As 1 J = 2.77 \times 10^{-7} kWh

Hence,      \frac{9.4 \times 10^{7}}{2.77 \times 10^{-7}} kWh

                = 3.39 kWh

Thus, we can conclude that 3.39 kilowatt-hours of electricity is required in the given situation.

A balloon inflated with three breaths of air has a volume of 1.7 L. At the same temperature and pressure, what is the volume of
Karolina [17]

Ans: The final volume of the balloon is 4.5 L

<u>Given:</u>

Volume of balloon inflated with 3 breaths = 1.7 L

<u>To determine:</u>

Volume of balloon after a total of 3+5 = 8 breaths

<u>Explanation:</u>

Volume of the balloon per breath = 1.7 L * 1 breath/3 breaths = 0.567 L

Final volume of balloon after 8 breaths = 0.567 L * 8 breath/1 breath

= 4.536 L

Small beads of iridium-192 are sealed in a plastic tube and inserted through a needle into breast tumors. If an Ir-192 sample ha
Stells [14]

Answer:

296.1 day.

Explanation:

  • The decay of radioactive elements obeys first-order kinetics.
  • For a first-order reaction: k = ln2/(t1/2) = 0.693/(t1/2).

Where, k is the rate constant of the reaction.

t1/2 is the half-life time of the reaction (t1/2 = 1620 years).

∴ k = ln2/(t1/2) = 0.693/(74.0 days) = 9.365 x 10⁻³ day⁻¹.

  • For first-order reaction: <em>kt = lna/(a-x).</em>

where, k is the rate constant of the reaction (k = 9.365 x 10⁻³ day⁻¹).

t is the time of the reaction (t = ??? day).

a is the initial concentration of Ir-192 (a = 560.0 dpm).

(a-x) is the remaining concentration of Ir-192 (a -x = 35.0 dpm).

<em>∴ kt = lna/(a-x)</em>

(9.365 x 10⁻³ day⁻¹)(t) = ln(560.0 dpm)/(35.0 dpm).

(9.365 x 10⁻³ day⁻¹)(t) = 2.773.

<em>∴ t </em>= (2.773)/(9.365 x 10⁻³ day⁻¹) =<em> 296.1 day.</em>

Wine has a pH of 3, which means it is __________ times more acidic than tomatoes, which have a pH of 4.
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

10

Explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.

Thus,  

pH = - log [H⁺]

Thus, from the formula, more the concentration of the hydrogen ions or more the acidic the solution is, the less is the pH value of the solution.

Thus, solution with pH = 3 will be more acidic than solution with pH =4  

Thus, concentration of the [H⁺] when pH =3

3 = - log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = 10⁻³ M

For pH = 4, [H⁺] = 10⁻⁴ M

<u>hence, pH = 3 is 10 times more acidic than pH = 4</u>
