The given statement is example of the bioaccumulation.

What is phytoplanktons?

Phytoplankton, a flora of freely floating, often minute organisms that drift with water currents.

Bioaccumulation is the accumulation of contaminants by species in concentrations that are orders of magnitude higher than in the surrounding environment.

Contuining contamination of chemical leads to bioaccumulation in phytoplanktons population.

What did organizing information on the periodic table reveal?
Natalka [10]

Answer:

The groupings of elements in the periodic table reveal various trends, present in groups such as the alkali metals and noble gases, or the lanthanides and actinides. The periodic table can be used to find information on elements or predict the properties of as-of-yet undiscovered elements.

Consider the reaction:
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

K = Ka/Kb

Explanation:

P(s) + (3/2) Cl₂(g) <-------> PCl₃(g) K = ?

P(s) + (5/2) Cl₂(g) <--------> PCl₅(g) Ka

PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) <---------> PCl₅(g) Kb

K = [PCl₃]/ ([P] [Cl₂]⁽³'²⁾)

Ka = [PCl₅]/ ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

Kb = [PCl₅]/ ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

Since [PCl₅] = [PCl₅]

From the Ka equation,

[PCl₅] = Ka ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

From the Kb equation

[PCl₅] = Kb ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

Equating them

Ka ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾) = Kb ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

(Ka/Kb) = ([PCl₃] [Cl₂]) / ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

(Ka/Kb) = [PCl₃] / ([P] [Cl₂]⁽³'²⁾)

Comparing this with the equation for the overall equilibrium constant

K = Ka/Kb

0.500 L of a gas is collected at 2911 MM and 0°C. What will the volume be at STP?
ioda

Answer:

V₂ =  1.92 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 0.500 L

Initial pressure =2911 mmHg (2911/760 = 3.83 atm)

Initial temperature = 0 °C (0 +273 = 273 K)

Final temperature = 273 K

Final volume = ?

Final pressure = 1 atm

Solution:

Formula:  

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂  

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = Initial volume

T₁ = Initial temperature

P₂ = Final pressure

V₂ = Final volume

T₂ = Final temperature

by putting values,

V₂ = P₁V₁ T₂/ T₁ P₂  

V₂ = 3.83 atm × 0.500 L × 273 K / 273 K × 1 atm

V₂ = 522.795 atm .L. K / 273 K.atm

V₂ =  1.92 L
