Base isolation is a method of earthquake resistant engineering where a structure is separated from the ground by isolation units that reduces the impact of seismic vibration energy. So, the last answer choice would be the best definition.
Answer:
The answer is 1.15m.
Since molality is defined as moles of solute divided by kg of solvent, we need to calculated the moles of H2SO4 and the mass of the solvent, which I presume is water.
We can find the number of H2SO4 moles by using its molarity
C=nV→nH2SO4=C⋅VH2SO4=6.00molesL⋅48.0⋅10−3L=0.288
Since water has a density of 1.00kgL, the mass of solvent is
m=ρ⋅Vwater=1.00kgL⋅0.250L=0.250 kg
Therefore, molality is
m=nmass.solvent=0.288moles0.250kg=1.15m
I found a presentation of Food web of a pond that will greatly connect with the above problem. http://www.eduweb.com/portfolio/earthsystems/food/foodweb4.html
Normal setting:
Species Pop. size
Blue heron Medium
Perch Medium
Bass Medium
Minnows Medium
Inverts Medium
Algae Medium
If PERCH population size decreases,
Species Pop. sizeBlue heron LowPerch LowBass MediumMinnows HighInverts HighAlgae Low
As you can see, 4 other species are affected when the Perch population size decreased. Bass is not affected.
