In the 1990's, biologists studied the alligator population in Lake Apopka, Florida. This lake experienced a chemical spill of th

e pesticide dicofol in 1980, and researchers wanted determine the effects of the pollution on organisms in the area. Dicofol is a chemical that mimics female reproductive hormones in vertebrates. The pesticide mainly affects the sexual development of the males, and the number of fertile males Lake Apopke is significantly lower than in neighboring populations. What is a potential long-term effect of dicofol on the population of alligators in Lake Apopka, Florida?

It can cause the alligators to become endangered or extinct because if there are not enough fertile males then they can not reproduce and will eventually die out.

Which of the following compounds are ionic?
julsineya [31]

Answer:

a. KCl, c. BaCl2 and e. LiF.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can identify the ionic compounds by verifying the difference in the electronegativity between the bonding compounds when it is 1.7 or more (otherwise it is covalent) as shown below:

a. KCl: 3.0-0.9=2.1 -> Ionic.

b. C2H4: 2.5-2.1=0.4 -> Covalent.

c. BaCl2: 3.0-0.8=2.2 -> Ionic.

d. SiCl4: 3.0-1.8=1.2 -> Covalent.

e. LiF: 4.0-1.0=3.0 -> Ionic.

Therefore, ionic compounds are a. KCl, c. BaCl2 and e. LiF.

Regards.

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

2.475 mol of O2  formed.

Explanation:

Given 1.65 moles of KClO3 as the target amount in the reactant, used the coefficient of the balanced chemical reaction involved to determine the number of moles of O2 molecules formed.

x mole of  O2   = 1.65 mol  KClO3 x [(3 mol O2)/ (2 mol KClO3)] = 2.475 mol of O2

x mole of  O2 formed  = 2.475 mol of O2

How do matter cycles demonstrate the conservation of matter in a system?
damaskus [11]

Answer:

These systems are defined both by the types of energy and matter they contain and by how that matter and energy move through and between systems. In natural systems, both energy and matter are conserved within a system. This means that energy and matter can change forms but cannot be created or destroyed.
