Describe how species on the Galapagos islands have changed over time

Chemistry
1 answer:
GarryVolchara [31]3 years ago
6 0
Five to ten million years ago, the tops of underwater Galapagos volcanoes appeared above water for the first time about 600 km from mainland Ecuador in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. Those volcanic peaks were completely devoid of plant and animal life. All plants and animals that are now native to the islands must have arrived to the islands originally through some form of long-distance dispersal.There are two main ways for species to make their way to remote islands. The first method is by air in the form of flying or being blown by wind, and the second method is by sea while swimming or floating, sometimes with the aid of rafts of tangled vegetation.

(C6H6) can be biodegraded by microorganism. if 30 mg of benzene is present, what amount of oxygen required for biodegradation, n
quester [9]

Answer:

36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.

Explanation:

5C_6H_6+15O_2\rightarrow 12CO_2+15H_2O

Mass of benzene = 30 mg = 0.03 g (1000 mg = 1 g )

Moles benzene =\frac{0.03 g}{78 g/mol}=0.0003846 mol

According to reaction 5 moles of benzene reacts with 15 moles of oxygen gas.

Then 0.0003846 mol of benzene will react with:

\frac{15}{5}\times 0.0003846 mol=0.0011538 mol of oxygen gas

Mass of 0.0011538 moles of oxygen gas:

0.0011538 mol × 32 g/mol = 0.03692 g = 36.92 mg

36.92 mg of oxygen required for bio-degradation.

A chemical reaction is shown below:
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

Mass = 8.46 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of water produced = ?

Mass of glucose = 20 g

Mass of oxygen = 15 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂     →   6H₂O + 6CO₂

Number of moles of glucose:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 20 g/ 180.16 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.11 mol

Number of moles of oxygen:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 15 g/ 32 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.47 mol

now we will compare the moles of water with oxygen and glucose.

               C₆H₁₂O₆           :            H₂O

                   1                   :              6

                 0.11                :           6/1×0.11 = 0.66

                   O₂               :            H₂O

                   6                   :              6

                 0.47                :           0.47

Less number of moles of water are produced by oxygen thus it will limit the yield of water and act as limiting reactant.

Mass of water produced:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.47 mol  ×18 g/mol

Mass = 8.46 g

Look at the following reaction. How could you increase the production of 2NH3(g)? N2(g) + 3H2(g) 2NH3(g) Increase the volume of
Zolol [24]
The correct option is B. To increase the production of ammonia, you have to increase the pressure of the system. Increase in pressure will result in increased production of ammonia because this will drive the chemical reaction forward.

Which of the following is a heterogeneous mixture? Air. Salt water. Steel. Soil.
kicyunya [14]

Answer: Heterogenous mixtures are the ones in which we can see the different components clearly. Air is considered to be homogenous, because we don't see the different noble gases' particles floating around. Salt water is also homogenous, because salt dissolves almost completely into water, becoming hard to see without the proper equipment salt particles in it. Steel is also homogenous, since the metals that compose it are mixed during the heating. The only heterogenous would be soil, because we can see different particles in it, with different sizes, shapes, colors, etc without having to use special equipment.
