Answer:
The compound ammonia given by fish is alkaline

Explanation:
We can classify elements/compounds based on their pH values into three types:
acids: these are compounds having pH value lower than 7
neutral: these are compounds having pH value equal to 7
alkalies: these are compounds having pH values higher than 7

This is shown in the attached image

We are given that the pH of the compound ammonia generated by the fish is above 7.
According to the above explanation, compound ammonia would be an alkaline compound.

. A sample of crude oil has a density of 0.87 g/mL. What volume (in liters) does a 3.6 kg sample of this oil occupy

Answer:

The volume is 4.13793 L

Explanation:

Density is a quantity that expresses the relationship between the mass and the volume of a body, so it is defined as the quotient between the mass and the volume of a body:

$density=\frac{mass}{volume}$

Density is a characteristic property of every body or substance.

The most commonly used units of density are $\frac{kg}{m^{3} }$ or $\frac{g}{cm^{3} }$ for solids, and $\frac{kg}{L}$ or $\frac{g}{mL}$ for liquids and gases.
