Answer:

The zebra mussel is found in freshwater lakes and rivers of the Balkans, Poland, and the former Soviet Union. It was first found in the United States in Lake St. Claire, off of the eastern shore of the state of  Michigan.

Biologists think the zebra mussel was picked up in a freshwater European port in the ballast water of a ship, and was later released into the water on the Canadian side of Lake St. Clair. The zebra mussel was not intentionally transported into its new ecosystem.

The zebra mussel is small, free-swimming, and easily spread by water currents, and can attach to almost any hard surface.

The zebra mussel affects an ecosystem's food web both positively and negatively. The positive effects include serving as a food source to many native fish, birds, and other animals. The negative effects include interfering with other organisms' feeding, growth, movement, respiration, and reproduction.

The mass of water in a single popcorn kernel was found to be 0.905 grams after it popped at a temperature of 175 °C. Using the i
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

0.583 kilojoules

Explanation:

The amount of heat required to pop a single kernel can be calculated using the formula as follows:

Q = m × c × ∆T

Where;

Q = amount of heat (J)

m = mass of water (g)

c = specific heat capacity of water (4.184 J/g°C)

∆T = change in temperature

From the given information, m = 0.905 g, initial temperature (room temperature) = 21°C , final temperature = 175°C, Q = ?

Q = m × c × ∆T

Q = 0.905 × 4.184 × (175°C - 21°C)

Q = 3.786 × 154

Q = 583.044 Joules

In kilojoules i.e. we divide by 1000, the amount of heat is:

= 583.04/1000

= 0.583 kilojoules

Calculate the solubility at 25°C of CuBr in pure water and in a 0.0120M CoBr2 solution. You'll find Ksp data in the ALEKS Data t
iragen [17]

Answer:

S = 7.9 × 10⁻⁵ M

S' = 2.6 × 10⁻⁷ M

Explanation:

To calculate the solubility of CuBr in pure water (S) we will use an ICE Chart. We identify 3 stages (Initial-Change-Equilibrium) and complete each row with the concentration or change in concentration. Let's consider the solution of CuBr.

    CuBr(s) ⇄ Cu⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

I                       0             0

C                     +S           +S

E                       S             S

The solubility product (Ksp) is:

Ksp = 6.27 × 10⁻⁹ = [Cu⁺].[Br⁻] = S²

S = 7.9 × 10⁻⁵ M

<u>Solubility in 0.0120 M CoBr₂ (S')</u>

First, we will consider the ionization of CoBr₂, a strong electrolyte.

CoBr₂(aq) → Co²⁺(aq) + 2 Br⁻(aq)

1 mole of CoBr₂ produces 2 moles of Br⁻. Then, the concentration of Br⁻ will be 2 × 0.0120 M = 0.0240 M.

Then,

    CuBr(s) ⇄ Cu⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

I                       0           0.0240

C                     +S'           +S'

E                       S'            0.0240 + S'

Ksp = 6.27 × 10⁻⁹ = [Cu⁺].[Br⁻] = S' . (0.0240 + S')

In the term (0.0240 + S'), S' is very small so we can neglect it to simplify the calculations.

S' = 2.6 × 10⁻⁷ M

Urea, (NH2)2CO, is a product of metabolism of proteins. An aqueous solution is 37.2% urea by mass and has a density of 1.032 g/m
Feliz [49]

Answer:

The molarity of urea in this solution is 6.39 M.

Explanation:

Molarity (M) is <em>the number of moles of solute in 1 L of solution</em>;  that is

molarity = moles of solute ÷ liters of solution

To calculate the molality, we need to know the number of moles of urea and the volume of solution in liters. We assume 100 grams of solution.

Our first step is to calculate the moles of urea in 100 grams of the solution,

using the molar mass a conversion factor. The total moles of 100g of a 37.2 percent by mass solution is

60.06 g/mol ÷ 37.2 g = 0.619 mol

Now we need to calculate the volume of 100 grams of solution, and we use density as a conversion factor.

1.032 g/mL ÷ 100 g = 96.9 mL

This solution contains 0.619 moles of urea in 96.9 mL of solution. To express it in molarity, we need to calculate the moles present in 1000 mL (1 L) of the solution.

0.619 mol/96.9 mL × 1000 mL= 6.39 M

Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 6.39 M.

You are a researcher for a golf club manufacturer. You are given two identical looking cubes of a metal alloy. You are informed
Rashid [163]

Answer:

C.Melt both cubes and look for a broader range of melting temperatures. The one that melts over a broader range of temperatures is the amorphous solid.

Explanation:

Amorphous solids is one that do not have a fixed melting points but melt over a wide range of temperature due to the irregular shape hence its name. Contrariwise crystalline solids, have a fixed and sharp melting point.

This comes in handy to solve the riddle. We can characterise the pair with the melting point property.
