Oil is sucked up through wide floating heads and pumped into storage tanks. Although suction skimmers are generally very efficient, one disadvantage is that they are vulnerable to becoming clogged by debris and ice and require constant skilled observation.

7. A species is _ when its population has become so low that it is close to becoming extinct
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

Endangered. The meaning of endangered is when a species declines in number- this might be because they are being eaten by another animal which has a higher popupayion, or perhaps because they are being hunted by humans for their meat or fur. Neither reason might be that their food or habitat has been destroyed b humans to create land for farming or housing. one example of name endangered species is Polar Bears: they like in the Antarctic where there is no land, simply ice. Due to humans causing climate change, the world is warming up and the ice is melting. This means polar bears are dying out because it would be too tiring to swim to find ice. For the same reason, other animals are dying in the Antarctic meaning that Poplar Bears have less to eat (being at the top of the food chain -no animal eats polar bears).

A substance that reduces the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is __________.
ioda

A substance that reduces the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is  <u>base</u>.

A base which thus completely dissociates in an aqueous solution is referred to as a strong base. These substances produce one or more hydroxide ions (OH-) per base molecule when they ionize in water. A weak base, on the other hand, only partially splits into its water-soluble ions.

The three definitions of "base" used in chemistry are Arrhenius base, Bronsted base, as well as Lewis base. The fact instead that bases react towards acids is acknowledged by all base definitions.

Therefore, a substance that reduces the hydrogen ion concentration of a solution is <u>base</u>.

Na2S2O3 + AgBr NaBr + Na3ſAg(S203)2] What is
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Mass of NaBr produced  = 23.67 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of AgBr = 42.7 g

Mass of NaBr produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Na₂S₂O₃ + AgBr    →    NaBr + Na₃(Ag(S₂O₃)₂

Number of moles of AgBr:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 42.7 g/ 187.7 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.23 mol

now we will compare the moles of AgBr with NaBr.

             AgBr        :         NaBr

                1            :           1

              0.23       :         0.23

Mass of NaBr:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.23 mol × 102.89 g/mol

Mass = 23.67 g
