Scientists study an ecosystem devastated by drought and observe the interactions of organisms in relation to food, light, water

and mates. Which hypothesis statement relates to the investigation?
a If the drought continues to increase, then competition will decrease.


b If available resources decrease, then competition will increase.


c If available resources remain constant, then competition will decrease.


d If available resources increase, then competition will increase.

The correct answer is - b. If available resources decrease, then competition will increase.

All living organisms in an ecosystem are specialized in accordance to the living conditions and the food sources available. If a given ecosystem experiences prolonged drought, than the resources will decrease. With a decrease in resources, the living organisms will find themselves in a situation of scarcity. That will lead to a much increased competition, with both organisms of different species, and members of the same species. That will most likely lead to a situation where only the fittest will survive, while the weaker members of the species will probably die in that period of prolonged drought as they will not be able to get the resources they need to survive.

Calculate the ph of a 0.0075 m ca(oh)2 solution.
Aleksandr [31]
Ca(OH)₂ = Ca²⁺ + 2OH⁻

[OH⁻]=2c{Ca(OH)₂}

pH=14+lg[OH⁻]

pH=14+lg(2c{Ca(OH)₂})

pH=14+lg(2*0.0075)=12.18

What occurs in an Ionic bond
pochemuha

Answer:

Ionic bond, also called electrovalent bond, type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound. ... The atom that loses the electrons becomes a positively charged ion (cation), while the one that gains them becomes a negatively charged ion (anion).

Explanation:Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms. It is a type of chemical bond that generates two oppositely charged ions. In ionic bonds, the metal loses electrons to become a positively charged cation, whereas the nonmetal accepts those electrons to become a negatively charged anion. Ionic bonds require an electron donor, often a metal, and an electron acceptor, a nonmetal.

Ionic bonding is observed because metals have few electrons in their outer-most orbitals. By losing those electrons, these metals can achieve noble gas configuration and satisfy the octet rule. Similarly, nonmetals that have close to 8 electrons in their valence shells tend to readily accept electrons to achieve noble gas configuration. In ionic bonding, more than 1 electron can be donated or received to satisfy the octet rule. The charges on the anion and cation correspond to the number of electrons donated or received. In ionic bonds, the net charge of the compound must be zero.

This sodium molecule donates the lone electron in its valence orbital in order to achieve octet configuration. This creates a positively charged cation due to the loss of electron.

This chlorine atom receives one electron to achieve its octet configuration, which creates a negatively charged anion.

The predicted overall energy of the ionic bonding process, which includes the ionization energy of the metal and electron affinity of the nonmetal, is usually positive, indicating that the reaction is endothermic and unfavorable. However, this reaction is highly favorable because of the electrostatic attraction between the particles. At the ideal interatomic distance, attraction between these particles releases enough energy to facilitate the reaction. Most ionic compounds tend to dissociate in polar solvents because they are often polar. This phenomenon is due to the opposite charges on each ion.
