Answer:

In any ecosystem, organisms and populations with similar requirements for food, water, oxygen, or other resources may compete with each other for limited resources, access to which consequently constrains their growth and reproduction. Growth of organisms and population increases are limited by access to resources.

Balance the following chemical reaction: _NaOH + _H2SO4 ----->_Na2SO4 +_H20

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

Sodium Hydroxide + Sulfuric Acid = Sodium Sulfate + Water

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Explanation:

To balance a chemical equation, enter an equation of a chemical reaction and press the Balance button. The balanced equation will appear above.

Use uppercase for the first character in the element and lowercase for the second character. Examples: Fe, Au, Co, Br, C, O, N, F.

Ionic charges are not yet supported and will be ignored.

Replace immutable groups in compounds to avoid ambiguity. For example, C6H5C2H5 + O2 = C6H5OH + CO2 + H2O will not be balanced, but XC2H5 + O2 = XOH + CO2 + H2O will.

Compound states [like (s) (aq) or (g)] are not required.

You can use parenthesis () or brackets [].

Why is paper chromatography used for amino acids

vivado [14]

<em>Paper chromatography is especially useful in characterizing amino acids. The different amino acids move at differing rates on the paper because of differences in their R groups.</em>

Write the ionic charges (such as Ca2+) and chemical formulas and fill-in the table below.

Vikentia [17]

1) Lithium and fluorine:

Ionic charges: lithium cation Li⁺ and fluorine anion F⁻.

Chemical formula LiF.

In ionic salt lithium fluoride (LiF), fluorine has electronegativity approximately χ = 4 and lithium χ = 1 (Δχ = 4 - 1; Δχ = 3).

Fluorine attracts electron and it has negative charge and lithium has positive charge.

2) Beryllium and oxygen:

Ionic charges cation Be²⁺ and anion O²⁻.

Chemical formula is BeO.

Beryllium is metal from group 2 and oxygen is nonmetal from group 16.

Electron configuration of beryllium: ₄Be: 1s² 2s², it has two valence electrons in 2s orbital.

Beryllium lose two electrons and to gain electron configuration as noble gas helium (He).

Electron configuration of oxygen atom: ₈O 1s² 2s² 2p⁴.

Oxygen gain two valence electron to form anion with stable electron configuration as noble gas neon (atomic number 10).

3) Magnesium and fluorine:

Ionic charges cation Mg²⁺ and anion F⁻.

Chemical formula is MgF₂.

Magnesium fluoride (MgF₂) is salt, ionic compound.

Magnesium (Mg) is metal from 2. group of Periodic table of elements and has low ionisation energy and electronegativity, which means it easily lose valence electons (two valence electrons).

Magnesium has atomic number 12, which means it has 12 protons and 12 electrons. It lost two electrons to form magnesium cation (Mg²⁺) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

Fluorine (F) is nonmetal with greatest electronegativity, which means it easily gain electrons.

Fluorine has atomic number 9, which means it has 9 protons and 9 electrons. It gain one electron to form fluorine anion (F⁻) with stable electron configuration like closest noble gas neon (Ne) with 10 electrons.

4) Aluminum and chlorine:

Ionic charges cation Al³⁺ and anion Cl⁻.

Chemical formula is AlCl₃.

The right name for AlCl₃ is aluminium chloride.

Aluminium chloride is a salt with ionic bonds.

Aluminium (metal from group 13) has oxidation number +3 and chlorine (nonmetal from group 17) has oxidation number -1, chemical compound has neutral charge (+3 + 3 · (-1) = 0).

5) Beryllium and nitrogen:

Ionic charges cation Be²⁺ and anion N³⁻.

Chemical formula is Be₃N₂.

Atomic number of nitrogen is 7, it has 7 protons and 7 electrons.

Electron configuration of nitrogen atom: ₇N 1s² 2s² 2p³.

Nitrogen gain three electrons to form anion with stable electron configuration as noble gas neon (atomic number 10).

Woodpeckers find insects to eat by pecking holes in trees with their beaks. One day, a woodpecker finds a particular tree that o

bixtya [17]

Answer:

1. Reflex Conditioning

Explanation:

Conditioning is an aspect of learning where a stimulus works effectively in producing a response from an organism. This response becomes regular given the type of reinforcement that is administered to the organism. The reinforcement is usually a reward that is given to the organism.

This is what is observed in the woodpecker. The stimulus or reinforcement which proves effective in producing a continuous response from the woodpecker is the abundant supply of the birds favorite bugs. This reinforcement makes it possible for the woodpecker to become conditioned towards returning to the tree.

A strontium hydroxide solution is prepared by dissolving 10.60 gg of Sr(OH)2Sr(OH)2 in water to make 47.00 mLmL of solution.What

NeTakaya

Answer:

Approximately $1.854\; \rm mol\cdot L^{-1}$ .

Explanation:

Note that both figures in the question come with four significant figures. Therefore, the answer should also be rounded to four significant figures. Intermediate results should have more significant figures than that.

<h3>Formula mass of strontium hydroxide</h3>

Look up the relative atomic mass of $\rm Sr$ , $\rm O$ , and $\rm H$ on a modern periodic table. Keep at least four significant figures in each of these atomic mass data.

$\rm Sr$ : $87.62$ .
$\rm O$ : $15.999$ .
$\rm H$ : $1.008$ .

Calculate the formula mass of $\rm Sr(OH)_2$ :

$M\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right) = 87.62 + 2\times (15.999 + 1.008) = 121.634\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ .

<h3>Number of moles of strontium hydroxide in the solution</h3>

$M\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right) =121.634\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}$ means that each mole of $\rm Sr(OH)_2$ formula units have a mass of $121.634\; \rm g$ .

The question states that there are $10.60\; \rm g$ of $\rm Sr(OH)_2$ in this solution.

How many moles of $\rm Sr(OH)_2$ formula units would that be?

$\begin{aligned}n\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right) &= \frac{m\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right)}{M\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right)}\\ &= \frac{10.60\; \rm g}{121.634\; \rm g \cdot mol^{-1}} \approx 8.71467\times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol\end{aligned}$ .

<h3>Molarity of this strontium hydroxide solution</h3>

There are $8.71467\times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol$ of $\rm Sr(OH)_2$ formula units in this $47\; \rm mL$ solution. Convert the unit of volume to liter:

$V = 47\; \rm mL = 0.047\; \rm L$ .

The molarity of a solution measures its molar concentration. For this solution:

$\begin{aligned}c\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right) &= \frac{n\left(\rm Sr(OH)_2\right)}{V}\\ &= \frac{8.71467\times 10^{-2}\; \rm mol}{0.047\; \rm L} \approx 1.854\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}\end{aligned}$ .

(Rounded to four significant figures.)
