A population of rabbits triples every 2 months If there are 2 rabbits initially, how long will it take for the population to inc

Answer:

The rabbit population will reach 500 after 10 months.

Explanation:

According to the given data:

The initial number of rabbit's equals 2.

Number of rabbit's after 2 months =2x3= 6

Number of rabbit's after 4 months = 6x3=18

Number of rabbit's after 6 months = 18x3=54

Number of rabbit's after 8 months = 54x3=162

Thus we can see that the number of rabbit's form a Geometric series with common ratio =3 and initial term = 2

Now the general term of a geometric series with first term 'a' and common ratio 'r' is given by

T_{n+1}=ar^{n}

Thus we need to find when the term becomes 500 thus using the given data we have  

500=2\cdot 3^{n}\\\\3^{n}=250\\\\(n)log_3(3)=log_3(250)\\\\(n)=5.025\\\\

Thus the fifth term (excluding the start term) will have a rabbit count of 500 now since each term has a time difference of 2 months thus sixth term will occur after 5\times 2=10months

Molecular polarity has a direct effect on the behavior of molecular compounds. The attractive forces between polar molecules are
Blababa [14]

Answer:

Stronger

Greater

Higher

Explanation:

Molecules are held together by intermolecular forces. These are forces that act between molecules in a particular state matter. Intermolecular forces depend on the nature of the molecule.

For polar molecules, the intermolecular forces are stronger thus it takes more energy to separate them leading to a higher boiling point of polar molecules irrespective of their molecular mass.

Do chemical equations with no reaction still have to be balanced
dangina [55]

Answer:

The same number of atoms of each element must appear on both sides of a chemical equation. However, simply writing down the chemical formulas of reactants and products does not always result in equal numbers of atoms. You have to balance the equation to make the number of atoms equal on each side of an equation.

Phosphorous trichloride and phosphorous pentachloride equilibrate in the presence of molecular chlorine according to the reactio
umka21 [38]

Answer : The value of K_p at this temperature is 66.7

Explanation : Given,

Pressure of PCl_3 at equilibrium = 0.348 atm

Pressure of Cl_2 at equilibrium = 0.441 atm

Pressure of PCl_5 at equilibrium = 10.24 atm

The balanced equilibrium reaction is,

PCl_3(g)+Cl_2(g)\rightleftharpoons PCl_5(g)

The expression of equilibrium constant K_p for the reaction will be:

K_p=\frac{(p_{PCl_5})}{(p_{PCl_3})(p_{Cl_2})}

Now put all the values in this expression, we get :

K_p=\frac{(10.24)}{(0.348)(0.441)}

K_p=66.7

Therefore, the value of K_p at this temperature is 66.7

Of the five salts listed below, which has the highest concentration of its cation in water? assume that all salt solutions are s
Zigmanuir [339]
First of all, I need to know what these five salts are. Luckily, I found a similar problem from another website which is shown in the attached picture. The Ksp is the solubility product constant. It follows the formula:

Ksp = [cation concentration]ᵃ[anion concentration]ᵇ
where a and b are the subscripts of the metal and nonmetal, respectively. 

For the solutions ahead, let x be the concentration of the cation.

A.  The formula is PbCr₂O₄.
2.8×10⁻¹³ = [x][x]
Solving for x, x = 5.29×10⁻⁷ M

B. The formula is Co(OH)₂. 
 1.3×10⁻¹⁵ = [x][x]²
Solving for x, x = 1.09×10⁻⁵ M

C. The formula is CoS. 
 5×10⁻²² = [x][x]
Solving for x, x = 2.24×10⁻¹¹ M

D. The formula is Cr(OH)₃. 
 1.6×10⁻³⁰ = [x][x]³
Solving for x, x = 3.56×10⁻⁶ M

E. The formula is Ag₂S. 
 6×10⁻⁵¹ = [x]²[x]
Solving for x, x = 1.82×10⁻¹⁷ M

<em>Thus,the highest concentration is letter B, Cobalt (II) Hydroxide.</em>
