In an aquarium the water quantity is limited and fish excrete ammonia through their gills and body, this dissolves in water and creates toxins.

<u>Explanation</u>:

In an aquarium the water quantity is limited and fish excrete ammonia through their gills and body, this dissolves in water and creates toxins. Over some time some bacteria develop in water which converts this ammonia into nitrites and then into nitrates. Till this process is complete, the aquarium remains a death trap.

There are some reasons for a fish to die early,

This one is common for beginners. They don’t have any idea about the nitrogen cycle. And they simply buy a fish tank and fish on the same day, go home and set it up.

Ammonia spikes - Even in a cycled tank, you can have occasional ammonia spikes due to overfeeding. Incompatible tank mates - If you put a too docile fish with a very aggressive cichlid, it will get harassed and eventually die due to stress.

A solution of rubbing alcohol is 68.6 % (v/v) isopropanol in water. How many milliliters of isopropanol are in a 88.2 mL sample

KonstantinChe [14]

From the information given, the total volume of rubbing alcohol is 88.2 ml

68.6 % of this volume is isopropanol.

We will assume 88.2 ml represents 100% volume, so the volume of water will be 31.4 %

The volume of isopropanol is

68.6/100 x 88.2 → 0.686 × 88.2 = 60.505 ml

The volume of isopropanol is 60.5 ml.

Volume of water will be 88.20 - 60.5 = 27.7 ml

(27.7 / 88.2 × 100 = 31.4% )

Adding 60.5 ml of isopropanol to 27.7 ml of water to make up 88.2 ml will give 68.6 % v/v isopropanol to water solution.

A nuclear fission reaction has mass difference between the products and the reactants of 0.0284 amu. Calculate the

notsponge [240]

Answer:

C) 4.24 x $10^{-12}$

Explanation:

E = Δm $c^{2}$

Δm = 0.0284 x 1.66 x $10^{-27}$ kg = 4.714x $10^{-29}$ kg

putting value in above equation

E = 4.714x $10^{-29}$ kg x (3x $10^{8}$ $)^{2}$ = 4.24 x $10^{-12}$

What chemical reactions occur in a Nelson's cell?

Cerrena [4.2K]

Explanation:

The graphite anodes are suspended into the brine. During electrolysis, Cl ions are oxidized at the anode and chlorine gas goes out of the cell, while sodium ions are reduced at the mercury cathode forming sodium amalgam. ... Hydrogen gas is obtained as a by–product at the cathode.
