Bethany has a fish tank at her house. She uses the following data table to keep track of the nitrate and phosphate levels in the

tank.
Month Nitrates Phosphates
January 8.0 mg/L 0.010 mg/L
February 8.1 mg/L 0.010 mg/L
March 7.9 mg/L 0.009 mg/L
April 9.2 mg/L 0.012 mg/L
May 9.7 mg/L 0.020 mg/L
June 9.9 mg/L 0.029 mg/L
July 10.6 mg/L 0.032 mg/L
August 10.8 mg/L 0.038 mg/L
September 11.0 mg/L 0.036 mg/L

Bethany notices that the fish tank is gradually filling with algae. Based on the data she has collected, when did the problem most likely start? Explain.

The answer is: the problem start at April.

In April, there is increase in concentration of nitrates (from 7.9 mg/L to 9.2 mg/L) and increase in concentration of phosphates (from 0.009 mg/L to 0.012 mg/L).

If the aquarium is not properly maintained, the nitrate and the phosphate levels will continually rise and contribute to algae growth.

Water changes keep nitrates and phosphates down.

What pressure is required to compress 196.0 liters of air at 1.83 atmosphere into a cylinder whose volume is 26.0 liters
drek231 [11]

Answer:

P₂ = 13.79 atm

Explanation:

Given data:

Initial volume = 196.0 L

Initial pressure = 1.83 atm

Final volume = 26.0 L

Final pressure = ?

Solution:

The given problem will be solved through the Boyle's law,

"The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to its pressure by keeping the temperature and number of moles constant"

Mathematical expression:

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

P₁ = Initial pressure

V₁ = initial volume

P₂ = final pressure

V₂ = final volume  

Now we will put the values in formula,

P₁V₁ = P₂V₂

1.83 atm × 196.0 L = P₂× 26.0 L

P₂ = 358.68 atm. L /  26.0 L

P₂ = 13.79 atm

Draw the best Lewis structure for NH3 by filling in the bonds, lone pairs, and formal charges. (Assign bonds, lone pairs, radica
kiruha [24]

Answer :  The Lewis-dot structure of NH_3 is shown below.

Explanation :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

In the Lewis-dot structure the valance electrons are shown by 'dot'.

The given molecule is, NH_3

As we know that hydrogen has '1' valence electron and nitrogen has '5' valence electrons.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in NH_3 = 5 + 3(1) = 8

According to Lewis-dot structure, there are 6 number of bonding electrons and 2 number of non-bonding electrons.

Now we have to determine the formal charge for each atom.

Formula for formal charge :

\text{Formal charge}=\text{Valence electrons}-\text{Non-bonding electrons}-\frac{\text{Bonding electrons}}{2}

\text{Formal charge on N}=5-2-\frac{6}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_1=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_2=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

\text{Formal charge on }H_3=1-0-\frac{2}{2}=0

Hence, the Lewis-dot structure of NH_3 is shown below.
