The steps leading to an algal-bloom fish kill

Chemistry

Answer:

the bacteria increase in number and use up the dissolved oxygen in the water. When the dissolved oxygen content decreases, many fish and aquatic insects cannot survive. This results in a dead area. Algal blooms may also be of concern as some species of algae produce neurotoxins.Explanation:

In a chemical reaction, the difference between the potential energy of the products of the potential energy of the reactants is

natka813 [3]

In a chemical reaction, the difference between the potential energy of the products and the potential energy of the reactants is equal to the heat of the reaction. This is, the net energy released or absorbed (change) during a chemical reaction is the sum of the potential energy of the products less the sum of the potential energy of the reactants.

Name one of the new products formed when acids and alkalis mix?

Kruka [31]

Answer:

Water (H20)

Explanation:

When an acid combine with a base, the reaction is called neutralization and it produces salt and water. This can be seen from the reaction between HCl and NaOH as shown below:

HCl + NaOH —> NaCl + H2O

From the above equation, we see clearly that salt (NaCl) and water (H2O) are the new products form.

Identify the half reaction as oxidation or reduction.

topjm [15]

OILRIG:
Oxidation is loss (of electrons)
Reduction is gain (of electrons)
so...
The first one is an oxidation half-equation as the Sn loses electrons;
The second one is a reduction half-equation as the Cl₂ gains electrons

A particular balloon can be stretched to a maximum surface area of 1257 cm2. The balloon is filled with 3.1 L of helium gas at a

lianna [129]

Answer:

P = 0.6815 atm

Explanation:

Pressure = 754 torr

The conversion of P(torr) to P(atm) is shown below:

$P(torr)=\frac {1}{760}\times P(atm)$

So,

Pressure = 754 / 760 atm = 0.9921 atm

Temperature = 294 K

Volume = 3.1 L

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

where,

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of moles

T is the temperature

R is Gas constant having value = 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol

Applying the equation as:

0.9921 atm × 3.1 L = n × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 294 K

⇒n of helium gas= 0.1274 moles

Surface are = 1257 cm²

For a sphere, Surface area = 4 × π × r² = 1257 cm²

r² = 1257 / 4 × π ≅ 100 cm²

r = 10 cm

The volume of the sphere is :

$V=\frac {4}{3}\times \pi\times r^3$

Where, V is the volume

r is the radius

$V=\frac {4}{3}\times \frac {22}{7}\times {10}^3$

V = 4190.4762 cm³

1 cm³ = 0.001 L

So, V (max) = 4.19 L

T = 273 K

n = 0.1274 moles

Using ideal gas equation as:

PV=nRT

Applying the equation as:

P × 4.19 L = 0.1274 × 0.0821 L.atm/K.mol × 273 K

P = 0.6815 atm
