Biodiversity has a fundamental value to humans because we are so dependent on it for our cultural, economic, and environmental well-being. Some argue that it is our moral responsibility to preserve the Earth’s incredible diversity for the next generation. Others simply like knowing that nature’s great diversity exists and that the opportunity to utilize it later, if need be, is secure. Scientists value biodiversity because it offers clues about natural systems that we are still trying to understand. Arguably, the greatest value to humans, however, comes from the ?ecosystem services? it provides.

Biodiversity forms the backbone of viable ecosystems on which we depend on for basic necessities, security, and health. By breaking down plant and animal matter, for example, insects and other invertebrates make nutrients available to plants and are integral to the carbon and nitrogen cycles. Other species pollinate crops, an essential service for farmers. Healthy ecosystems can mitigate or prevent flooding, erosion, and other natural disasters. These ecosystem services also play a hand in the functioning of our climate and in both air and water quality.

0.05 grams od cobalt ii oxalate will dissolve in one liter of solution at 25 degree celcius. Calculate the ksp for cobalt ii oxa
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The equilibrium expression is:

CoC2O4(s)⇌Co2+(aq)+C2O2−4(aq)

For this reaction:

Ksp = [Co2+][C2O2−4]=1.96×10−8

Explanation:

Batteries will not clot if cobalt ions are removed from its cells. Some blood collection tubes contain salts of the oxalate ion,

C2O2−4

, for this purpose. At sufficiently high concentrations, the calcium

and oxalate ions form solid, CoC2O4·H2O (which also contains water bound in the solid). The concentration of Co2+ in a sample of blood serum is 2.2 × 10–3M. What concentration of

C2O2−4

ion must be established before CoC2O4·H2O begins to precipitate.

CoC2O4 does not appear in this expression because it is a solid. Water does not appear because it is the solvent.

Solid CoC2O4 does not begin to form until Q equals Ksp. Because we know Ksp and [Co2+], we can solve for the concentration of

C2O2−4

that is necessary to produce the first trace of solid:

can you tell what the genotype of the purple flowered parent is from the information in the punnets square? explain why or why n
Nina [5.8K]

We will not be able to tell the genotype of the purple parent as it can either be a homo_zygous dominant or hetero_zygous. Without the complete genotype of the offspring, we would not be able to tell.

Answer:

1.  C

2.  C

3.  A

4.  C

5.  True

6.  C

Explanation:

1. C  The answer is conduction because the heat was transferred through direct contact.

2. C  The answer convection because the heat was transferred through a medium (liquid/gas).

3. A  The answer is conduction because the heat was transferred through direct contact.

4. C  The answer is radiation because the heat was transferred through thermal emission.

5. True.  This is because the air that is warmed rises, causing the cool air to replace it.  You can picture it like the scenario in question 2.

6. C

The fictional element “Nt” contains atoms with two valence electrons. Which type of intermolecular force is most likely responsi
tatuchka [14]
Ion-ion forces

Nt has two valence electrons, and bonds with F to form NtF2. This means that the ion form of Nt is Nt2+. This means that NtF2 is an ionic compound.
