Answer:

the fish can't survive in that warm water

Explanation:

when the factory puts that warm water into the stream where the fish live they changed their environment. by adding unknown chemicals and changing the temp of the water the fish start to die.

The fish aren't used to living in that warm water, and if they can't adapt fast enough they will die, also the unknown chemicals that could be in the water will act as a poison for them making that stream unable to support any life.

You need to make an aqueous solution of 0.182 M aluminum sulfate for an experiment in lab, using a 250 mL volumetric flask. How

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Hence, 15.99 g of solid Aluminum Sulfate should be added in 250 mL of Volumetric flask.

Explanation:

To make 0.187 M of Aluminum Sulfate solution in a 250 mL (0.250 L) Volumetric flask

The molar mass of Aluminum Sulfate = 342.15 g/mol

Using the molarity formula:-

Molarity = Number of moles/Volume of solution in a liter

Number of moles = Given weight/ molar mass

Molarity = (Given weight/ molar mass)/Volume of solution in liter

0.187 M = (Given weight/342.15 g/mol)/0.250 L

Given weight = 15.99 g

Given the ion C2O4-2, what species would you expect to form with each of the following ions?

Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

A. K₂C₂O₄ Potassium oxalate

B. CuC₂O₄ Copper oxalate

C. Bi₂(C₂O₄)₃ Bismuth (III) oxalate

D. Pb(C₂O₄)₂ Lead (IV) oxalate

E. (NH₄)₂C₂O₄ Ammonium oxalate

F. HC₂O₄⁻ Acid oxalate

Explanation:

C₂O₄⁻² → oxalate anion

This is the conjugate base from the H₂C₂O₄ which is the oxalic acid. A weak dyprotic acid that can release 2 protons.

A. 2K⁺ + C₂O₄⁻² → K₂C₂O₄ Potassium oxalate

It can be formed by the neutralization of the acid with the base

H₂C₂O₄ + 2KOH → K₂C₂O₄ + 2H₂O

B. Cu²⁺ + C₂O₄⁻² ⇄ CuC₂O₄ ↓

This is a precipitate.

C. 2Bi³⁺ + 3C₂O₄⁻² ⇄ Bi₂(C₂O₄)₃ ↓

This is a precipitate.

D. Pb⁴⁺ + 2C₂O₄⁻² ⇄ Pb(C₂O₄)₂ ↓

This is a precipitate.

E. 2NH₄⁺ + C₂O₄⁻² ⇄ (NH₄)₂C₂O₄ ↓

This is a precipitate.

F. This is the conjugate strong base, for the weak acid

H⁺ + C₂O₄⁻² ⇄ HC₂O₄⁻

HC₂O₄⁻ + H₂O ⇄ C₂O₄⁻² + H₃O⁺ Ka

HC₂O₄⁻ + H₂O ⇄ H₂C₂O₄ + OH⁻ Kb

HC₂O₄⁻ is an amphoteric compound

Why does the earth rotate

boyakko [2]

Answer:

Explanation:

Your answer would be A because Earth is formed from cold gases collapsing due to gravity. The Solar System was formed when a huge amount of dust and gas began to collapse under its own gravity, and as the cloud collapse it started to spin causing the material within the cloud to gather into a swirl and then formed into planets and as the planets are formed they kept this spinning motion.
