What are some non examples of biodiversity

2 answers:

8 0

A monocrop is a non example of biodiversity because it contains only one species, such as all corn, therefore there is very little biodiversity.

Here is the answer
There are multiple ways to look at the concept of biodiversity.
There is diversity on the genetic level within populations, diversity within ecosystems among the species that inhabit them, and even diversity among ecosystems.
<span>You can also look at different scales of biodiversity. For example you can look at a square meter, and see 20 species in it and say that's a pretty diverse square meter. But then, if you look at the neighboring square meter and see the same 20 species, you might begin to question how diverse this ecosystem really is. In contrast, you can look at a square meter of another ecosystem and see 15 species, while its neighboring square meter has a completely different set of 15 species. Which is the ecosystem with greater biodiversity? It all depends on the scale you are interested in.</span>

What does Gibbs free energy predict?

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

D. It predicts whether or not a reaction will be spontaneous.

Explanation:

<em>What does Gibbs free energy (ΔG) predict? .</em>

A. It predicts what the rate of the reaction will be. NO. ΔG is a thermodynamical parameter and it is not related to the kinetics of the reaction.

B. It predicts how high the activation energy is. NO. ΔG is a thermodynamical parameter and it is not related to the kinetics of the reaction.

C. It predicts if entropy will increase or decrease. NO. ΔG depends on the entropy but not the other way around.

D. It predicts whether or not a reaction will be spontaneous. YES. If ΔG < 0 the reaction is spontaneous and if ΔG > 0 the reaction is not spontaneous.

Answer:

14 gallons

Explanation:

357 divided by 14 = 25.5 and if you check your answer 14 x 25.5 = 357 (i hope this is right)

State the periodic law, and explain its relation to electron configuration. (Use Na and K in your explanation.)

mina [271]

Answer:

Explanation:

The period law state that when elements are listed in order of their atomic numbers, the elements fall into recurring groups, so that there is a recurrence of similar properties at regular intervals.

Na and K in the periodic table fall into the same group, this is because they both have one electrons in their outermost shell.

Na 11 -1s2 2s2 2p6 3s1

K 19 - 1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s1

They share similar chemical and physical properties. Na and K are very reactive metals, they can loose/donate their outermost electron to non metals in other to attain stable octet state.

The form ionic compound when they react with non metals.

The solubility of magnesium phosphate at a given temperature is 0.173 g/L. Calculate the Ksp at this temperature. After you calc

jek_recluse [69]

Answer: $K_{sp}=1.25\times 10^{-14}$

$pK_{sp}=13.90$

Explanation:

Solubility product is defined as the equilibrium constant in which a solid ionic compound is dissolved to produce its ions in solution. It is represented as $K_{sp}$

The equation for the ionization of magnesium phosphate is given as:

$Mg_3(PO_4)_2\rightarrow 3Mg^{2+}+2PO_4^{3-}$

When the solubility of $Mg_3(PO_4)_2$ is S moles/liter, then the solubility of $Mg^{2+}$ will be 3S moles\liter and solubility of $PO_4^{3-}$ will be 2S moles/liter.

Thus S = 0.173 g/L or $\frac{0.173g/L}{262.8g/mol}=0.00065mol/L$

$K_{sp}=(3S)^3\times (2S)^2$

$K_{sp}=108S^5$

$K_{sp}=108\times (0.00065)^5=1.25\times 10^{-14}$

$pK_{sp}=-log(K_{sp})=\log (1.25\times 10^{-14})=13.90$

you are given an unknown gaseous binary compound. when 10.0g of the compound isburned in excess oxygen, 16.3g of water is produc

Flauer [41]

Since the compound has 1.38 time that of oxygen gas at the same conditions of temperature and pressure, we have the relationship:
MW/MWoxygen = 1.38
MW = 44.16

Since there is water formed during the reaction, the formula of the compound must be:
XaHb
where a and b are the coefficients of each element.

If the compound reactions with oxygen forming water and an oxide of the element X, the combustion reaction must be:
XaHb + ((2a + (b/2))/2) O2 = a (XO2) + (b/2)(H2O)
Using dimensional analysis:
10 (1/44.16) (b/2 / 1) (18) = 16.3
Solving for b:
b = 8

The compound now is XaH8. Most probably, the compound is C3H8 since it has a molecular formula of 44 and it reacts with O2 to form water and CO2.
