The energy in coal comes from energy that was stored in giant plants that lived hundreds of millions of years ago in swamp forests, even before the dinosaurs! When these giant plants and ferns died, they formed layers at the bottom of the swamps. Water and dirt began to pile up on top of the dead plant remains.

Carrying capacity is _____.

Alinara [238K]

Carrying capacity is the number of organisms an ecosystem can support. It is the maximum size of a population that can survive in the ecosystem. If the animals reach the carrying capacity, the population may crash. As the consequence, the number of animals will decrease due to predators or diseases.

Answer:

Part 1: 7.42 mL; Part 2: 3Cu²⁺(aq) + 2PO₄³⁻(aq) ⟶ 2Cu₃(PO₄)₂(s)

Explanation:

Part 1. Volume of reactant

(a) Balanced chemical equation.

$\rm 2Na_{3}PO_{4} + 3CuCl_{2} \longrightarrow Cu_{3}(PO_{4})_{2} + 6NaCl$

(b) Moles of CuCl₂

$\text{Moles of CuCl}_{2} =\text{ 16.7 mL CuCl}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{0.200 mmol CCl}_{2}}{\text{1 mL CuCl}_{2}} = \text{3.340 mmol CuCl}_{2}$

(c) Moles of Na₃PO₄

The molar ratio is 2 mmol Na₃PO₄:3 mmol CuCl₂

$\text{Moles of Na$_{3}$PO}_{4} = \text{3.340 mmol CuCl}_{2} \times \dfrac{\text{2 mmol Na$_{3}$PO}_{4}}{\text{3 mmol CuCl}_{2}} =\text{2.227 mmol Na$_{3}$PO}_{4}$

(d) Volume of Na₃PO₄

$V = \text{2.227 mmol Na$_{3}$PO}_{4}\times \dfrac{\text{1 mL Na$_{3}$PO}_{4}}{\text{0.300 mmol Na$_{3}$PO}_{4}} = \text{7.42 mL Na$_{3}$PO}_{4} \\\\\text{The reaction requires $\large \boxed{\textbf{7.42 mL Na$_{3}$PO}_{4}}$}$

Part 2. Net ionic equation

(a) Molecular equation

$\rm 2Na_{3}PO_{4}(\text{aq}) + 3CuCl_{2}(\text{aq}) \longrightarrow Cu_{3}(PO_{4})_{2}(\text{s}) + 6NaCl(\text{aq})$

(b) Ionic equation

You write molecular formulas for the solids, and you write the soluble ionic substances as ions.

According to the solubility rules, metal phosphates are insoluble.

6Na⁺(aq) + 2PO₄³⁻(aq) + 3Cu²⁺(aq) + 6Cl⁻(aq) ⟶ Cu₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6Na⁺(aq) + 6Cl⁻(aq)

(c) Net ionic equation

To get the net ionic equation, you cancel the ions that appear on each side of the ionic equation.

6Na⁺(aq) + 2PO₄³⁻(aq) + 3Cu²⁺(aq) + 6Cl⁻(aq) ⟶ Cu₃(PO₄)₂(s) + 6Na⁺(aq) + 6Cl⁻(aq)

The net ionic equation is

3Cu²⁺(aq) + 2PO₄³⁻(aq) ⟶ Cu₃(PO₄)₂(s)

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Carbon is the basic compound for making of molecules in biological systems. IN growth medium, carbon sources are added to provide energy.

Explanation:

Without carbon, there would be no life on earth. Carbon molecules have the ability to form bonds that are stable with a vast number of molecules. It can also form bonds with itself. The proteins, amino acids, DNA, RNA, lipids all contain carbon molecules. Hence, it serves as the basic compound for making molecules of life. In the growth culture media, Carbon is added in the form of carbohydrates like glucose or glutamine as it provides main source of energy.
