Solids, liquids, gases, and plasma are all matter. When all atoms that make up a substance are the same, then that substance is an element. Elements made of only one kind of atom. Because of this, elements are called "pure" substances.
hope this helps :)
Only Extensive properties of piece will be changed. i.e Mass, Volume, Length etc.
I found a presentation of Food web of a pond that will greatly connect with the above problem. http://www.eduweb.com/portfolio/earthsystems/food/foodweb4.html
Normal setting:
Species Pop. size
Blue heron Medium
Perch Medium
Bass Medium
Minnows Medium
Inverts Medium
Algae Medium
If PERCH population size decreases,
Species Pop. sizeBlue heron LowPerch LowBass MediumMinnows HighInverts HighAlgae Low
As you can see, 4 other species are affected when the Perch population size decreased. Bass is not affected.
Answer:
- <em>(B.) The pH of a buffer solution is determined by the ratio of the concentration of conjugate base to the concentration of strong acid.</em>
- <em>(C.) A buffer is generally made up of a weak acid and its conjugate base. </em>
- <em>(D.) The pH of a buffer solution does not change significantly when any amount of a strong acid is added.</em>
Explanation:
A buffer is solution which resists change in pH upon addition of either acids or bases.
The pH of a buffer is calculated by the ratio of the concentration of base to concentration of acid. The weak acid and conjugate base have a Ka similar to the pH desired.
