Chemistry
1 answer:
Anit [1.1K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Too much phosphorus in the water causes algae to grow faster than ecosystems can handle. Large growths of algae are called algal blooms and they can <u>severely reduce or eliminate oxygen in the water</u>, leading to illnesses in fish and the death of large numbers of fish.

Explanation

Futhermore, with a loss of fish the whole ecosystem will be upset and will be in need of serious recovery.

What is a cone of depression
Sav [38]

A cone of depression occurs in an aquifer when groundwater is pumped from a well. In an unconfined aquifer, this is an actual depression of the water levels. In confined aquifers, the cone of depression is a reduction in the pressure head surrounding the pumped well.

2 icl + h2i2 + 2 hcl is first order in icl and second order in h2. Complete the rate law for this reaction in the box below. Use
OleMash [197]

2 ICl + H2   ----> I2 + 2 HCl

as given that rate is first order with respect to ICl and second order with respect to H2

The rate law will be

Rate = K [ICl] [ H2]^2

b) Given that K = 2.01 M^-2 s^-1

Concentrations are

[ICl] = 0.273 m and [H2] = 0.217 m

Therefore rate = 2.01 X (0.273)(0.217)^2 = 0.0258 M / s

Which of the following is the displacement from point P to point W?
IRINA_888 [86]
<span>C represents the displacement ONLY if it is the VECTOR arrow from P to W. 
Usually if the arrow on the diagram has JUST a letter listing, that letter stands for the SIZE or LENGTH of the VECTOR arrow. In order to have the letter represent the VECTOR, itself, it must have a symbol of a "half arrow" placed above it.</span>
