Sam wished to investigate how fertilizer run-off affects the growth of algae in freshwater lakes and streams. He set his experim

ent up in this way. He placed
900 ml of water into each of five 1000 ml glass beakers. To each beaker he added 5 ml of water from an aquarium which contained a large concentration of
algae. The beakers were placed under a grow light which was timed to provide 12 hours of light each day. Liquid fertilizer was added to the beakers in the
following amounts: Beaker A-8 mi fertilizer, Beaker B - 6 ml fertilizer, Beaker C - 4 ml fertilizer, Beaker D-2 mi fertilizer, and Beaker E - no fertilizer. Each
week a random sample from each of the beakers was examined under a microscope to get a count of the number of algal cells present.
What is the independent variable in this experiment?
O hours of daylight
O amount of water
O amount of fertilizer
O number of algal cells

In the laboratory you are asked to make a 0.175 m barium iodide solution using 13.9 grams of barium iodide. How much water shoul
BARSIC [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The mass of water that should be added in 203.07 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molality of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molality}=\frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}

Where,

m = molality of barium iodide solution = 0.175 m

m_{solute} = Given mass of solute (barium iodide) = 13.9 g

M_{solute} = Molar mass of solute (barium iodide) = 391.14 g/mol

W_{solvent} = Mass of solvent (water) = ? g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.175=\frac{13.9\times 1000}{391.14\times W_{solvent}}\\\\W_{solvent}=\frac{13.9\times 1000}{391.14\times 0.175}=203.07g

Hence, the mass of water that should be added in 203.07 grams

An element that appears in the lower left corner of the periodic table is
Xelga [282]
This problem is honestly, very easy. Just grab a periodic table and find the element in Group 1 and Period 7. But first, let's discuss how the elements are arranged systematically in a periodic table. There are a lot of scientists who contributed to it, but the most famous one is Dimitri Mendeleev. He arranged the elements according to their atomic number. The elements starts from 1 which is Hydrogen up to the heaviest known elements which is Oganesson with an atomic number of 118. As you can observe, there is a gap between groups 3 and 4. This is done so that the periodic table does not take too much space horizontally. Thus, they are just placed at the bottom. These elements are called lanthanides (upper row) and actinides (lower row). The rows in the periodic table are called groups, and the columns are called periods.

Now, the element at the lower left corner (Group 1, Period 7) is Francium, abbreviated as Fr. It has an atomic number of 87. Some elements are actually synthesized, but Francium is a naturally occurring radioactive element. It was discovered by Marguerite Perey in France.

Why did the laser beam move when the magnet was placed near it
podryga [215]
No because the light can only produce the color the manufacturer gave it and it is thin air unless the laser beam was able to make things on fire then the substance would be called a gas
