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.

Why is it that when you have a strong acid and weak base your equivalence point is less than 7
yKpoI14uk [10]

Explanation:

When a strong acid, say HCl reacts which a weak base, say NH_3, the reaction is shown below as:-

\text{NH}_3 (\text{aq}) + \text{HCl} (\text{aq}) \rightarrow {\text{NH}_4^+}(\text{aq}) + \text{Cl}^-(\text{aq})

The salt further reacts with water as shown below:-

\text{NH}_4^+ + \text{H}_2\text{O} \rightarrow \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ + \text{NH}_3

Formation of \text{H}_3\text{O}^+ lowers the pH value of the solution as more hydrogen ions leads to less pH.

For an electron that interacts with visible light, which visible photon would give the most accurate (lowest error) measurement
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

violet

Explanation:

When an electron interacts with visible light, energy is transferred from the photon to the electron.

The most accurate (lowest error) measurement of momentum (or speed) of an electron is obtained using a photon of high energy and low wavelength.

Violet light which lies at the high energy end of spectrum is most suitable.
