The fish is the  first organism that would be tested and measured for DDT as it pass on the DDT to the upward trophic level in food chain. After that predators will be checked for DDT concentration.

Explanation:

DDT level in the organism gets increase as it moves upward in the trophic level.

Toxins as DDT gets incorporated to fats and tissues of the organism. It gets soluble in fats.

The highest concentration of DDT is observed in tertiary consumers as carnivore.

It can be seen that DDT concentration is more in producers than primary consumers. With the process of biomagnification the concentration of DDT increases at successive levels.

In aquatic food chain pesticides or heavy metals are consumed by aquatic organsims which are consumed by large birds and human. The DDT level will be checked in fish then birds and humans.

If 1.08 g of sodium sulfate reacts with an excess of phosphoric acid, how much sulfuric acid is produced?
vfiekz [6]

Answer:  0.745 g of H_2SO_4 will be produced from  1.08 g of sodium sulfate

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} Na_2SO_4=\frac{1.08g}{142.04g/mol}=0.0076moles  

3Na_2SO_4+2H_3PO_4\rightarrow 2Na_3PO_4+3H_2SO_4

Na_2SO_4 is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and H_3PO_4 is the excess reagent.

According to stoichiometry :

3 moles of Na_2SO_4 produce = 3 moles of H_2SO_4

Thus 0.0076 moles of Na_2SO_4 will require=\frac{3}{3}\times 0.0076=0.0076moles  of H_2SO_4

Mass of H_2SO_4=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.0076moles\times 98.1g/mol=0.745g

Thus 0.745 g of H_2SO_4 will be produced from  1.08 g of sodium sulfate

Question
madam [21]

Answer:

The specific heat of the metal is 2.09899 J/g℃.

Explanation:

Given,

For Metal sample,

mass = 13 grams

T = 73°C

For Water sample,

mass = 60 grams

T = 22°C.

When the metal sample and water sample are mixed,

The addition of metal increases the temperature of the water, as the metal is at higher temperature, and the  addition of water decreases the temperature of metal. Therefore, heat lost by metal is equal to the heat gained by water.

Since, heat lost by metal is equal to the heat gained by water,

Qlost = Qgain

However,

Q = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

(mass) (ΔT) (Cp) = (mass) (ΔT) (Cp)

After mixing both samples, their temperature changes to 27°C.

It implies that , water sample temperature changed from  22°C to 27°C and metal sample temperature changed from 73°C to 27°C.

Since, Specific heat of water = 4.184 J/g°C

Let Cp be the specific heat of the metal.

Substituting values,

(13)(73°C - 27°C)(Cp) = (60)(27°C - 22℃)(4.184)

By solving, we get Cp =

Therefore, specific heat of the metal sample is 2.09899 J/g℃.

How does the muscular system work with the respiratory system?
djverab [1.8K]

Answer:

The muscular and nervous systems enable the involuntary breathing mechanism. The main muscles in inhalation and exhalation are the diaphragm and the intercostals (shown in blue), as well as other muscles. Exhalation is a passive action, as the lungs recoil and shrink when the muscles relax.

Suppose you have a mixture of copper sulfate (CuSO4) and azulene (C10H8, you may wish to know the structure of azulene). Both co
iVinArrow [24]

Answer:

Aqueous layer (1 M HCI)

Explanation:

First of us I want to remind you of the cliché in chemistry that like dissolves like. In solvent extraction, a mixture is dissolved in a system consisting of two immiscible solvents. One layer is organic while the other layer is aqueous.

Polar substances partition in the aqueous layer while nonpolar substances partition in the organic layer.

Since Copper sulfate is ionic, we will find it in the aqueous layer according to the old chemistry cliche.
