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.
An element that exist as a discreet atom has only one atom which can stand alone on its own. Example of this is Neon, which is a noble gas. The chemical symbol for neon is Ne.
Elements are able to exist as discreet atom because they are chemical stable and inert.
Answer:
a. pka = 3,73.
b. pkb = 10,27.
Explanation:
a. Supposing the chemical formula of X-281 is HX, the dissociation in water is:
HX + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + X⁻
Where ka is defined as:
![ka = \frac{[H_3O^+][X^-]}{[HX]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=ka%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D%5BX%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BHX%5D%7D)
In equilibrium, molar concentrations are:
[HX] = 0,089M - x
[H₃O⁺] = x
[X⁻] = x
pH is defined as -log[H₃O⁺]], thus, [H₃O⁺] is:
![[H_3O^+]} = 10^{-2,40}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D%7D%20%3D%2010%5E%7B-2%2C40%7D)
[H₃O⁺] = <em>0,004M</em>
Thus:
[X⁻] = 0,004M
And:
[HX] = 0,089M - 0,004M = <em>0,085M</em>
![ka = \frac{[0,004][0,004]}{[0,085]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=ka%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B%5B0%2C004%5D%5B0%2C004%5D%7D%7B%5B0%2C085%5D%7D)
ka = 1,88x10⁻⁴
And <em>pka = 3,73</em>
b. As pka + pkb = 14,00
pkb = 14,00 - 3,73
<em>pkb = 10,27</em>
I hope it helps!
The transition metal with the smallest atomic mass is Scandium (Sc).
Hope this helps~
