Are there choices we should be choosing from? Or do you just want an explanation?

Because as you move higher up the food chain there is less prey for predators to eat, which limits the size of the predator population. The populations of predators higher on the food chain are totally dependent on the population of their prey, which are below them on the food chain.

What is the ph of 0.450 m al(no3)3 [ka for al3+(aq) = 1.00x10-5]? express your answer to two decimal places?
White raven [17]

Answer : The pH of the solution is, 2.67

Explanation :

The equilibrium chemical reaction is:

                           Al^{3+}+H_2O\rightarrow Al(OH)^{2+}+H^+

Initial conc.       0.450                   0               0

At eqm.           (0.450-x)                 x               x

As we are given:

K_a=1.00\times 10^{-5}

The expression for equilibrium constant is:

K_a=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(0.450-x)}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

1.00\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(0.450-x)}

x=0.00212M

The concentration of H^+ = x = 0.00212 M

Now we have to calculate the pH of solution.

pH=-\log [H^+]

pH=-\log (0.00212)

pH=2.67

Therefore, the pH of the solution is, 2.67

As of right now, which of the following forms of nuclear power is the most feasible for human use?
nikitadnepr [17]

As of now, the nuclear fission is the most feasible energy source for human use. All the nuclear power plants are based on the controlled nuclear fission reaction, where the unstable nucleus is bombarded with high speed neutrons, thus, splitting the nucleus into stable ones and releasing huge amount of energy. The nuclear fusion requires very high temperature, the temperature equal's to that of the sun. Hence, it is not feasible right now. As the technology advances, we will see advancement in other form of energies.

ANEK [815]

Answer:

A- Physical, B- Chemical, C- chemical, D- Physical

Explanation:

A is physical because you can see it changing its form is changing.

B is Chemical because a new substance is formed creating the orange color of rust.

C is a Chemical reaction because it is being broken down so the banana itself is changing not just how we see it.

D is physical because we are just changing the shape/ size of the item, not anything to do with its substances.
