Answer:
It would decrease
Explanation:
In an ecosystem, organisms feed on one another for survival due to the fact that energy needed for metabolic activities in individual organisms can only be obtained via food. This question depicts that certain bird population feeds on barley plant in an ecosystem.
However, If a disease attacks the plants in such a way that it destroys the barley plants in the field, this would cause the barley-eating bird population to DECREASE because their food source has been affected.
Answer:
The Coriolis effect bends the direction of surface currents to the right in the Northern Hemisphere and left in the Southern Hemisphere. The Coriolis effect causes winds and currents to form circular patterns. The direction that they spin depends on the hemisphere that they are in.
Answer:
This will be the balanced half reaction:
NO₂(g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻(aq) + 1 e⁻ + 2H⁺ (aq)
Explanation:
In acidic medium, the redox balance has to be done as this way.
As it is an oxidation, we know that oxidation state has increased.
NO₂(g) → NO₃⁻(aq) + 1 e⁻
Nitrogen in NO₂ acts with +4; in the nitrate, N acts with +5
The nitrogen has released 1 electron.
As we are in acidic medium, we must complete with water, in the same side, as we have less oxygens and in the opposite side, with protons to balance the H. This will be the balanced half reaction:
NO₂(g) + H₂O (l) → NO₃⁻(aq) + 1 e⁻ + 2H⁺ (aq)
The anode is the electrode where the oxidation occurs.
Cathode is the electrode where the reducction occurs.
Equations:
Mn(2+) + 2e- ---> Mn(s) Eo = - 1.18 V
2Fe(3+) + 2e- ----> 2 Fe(2+) 2Eo = + 1.54 V
The electrons flow from the electrode with the lower Eo to the electrode with the higher Eo yielding to a positive voltage.
Eo = 1.54 V - (- 1.18) = 1.54 + 1.18 = 2.72
Answer: 2.72 V
