Explain ways that organisms interact in helpful and harmful ways.

1 answer:

4 0

Organisms are living things. Us humans are also living things, so we are helpful and harmful to other organisms. For example: we can help another human being with something, or we can help a plant/tree grow if we water it. In return, they also help us by providing us with oxygen. however, we can also be harmful to each other and the environment, for example: we can't hurt each other, or plant or animals by killing them or we can hurt insects by stepping on them. Therefore, organisms are helpful and harmful to each other.

What are the limitations of litmus paper and phenolphthalein indicators? Name two other indicators that can be used that do not

ra1l [238]

False reading may be obtained if there is a run over from adjacent reagent area in excessively wetted strips

Phenolphthalein only works efficiently from 4 to 10 ph

Litmus and phenolphthalein and methyl orange indicators can only allow you to tell if solution is alkaline,neutral or acidic

The two indicators with less limitations are methyl orange and thymol blue

Why do non-metals bond with each other to form covalent compound?

larisa [96]

Answer:

Explanation:

Because unlike ionic bonds (metal and a non-metal) where electrons are "stolen", covalent bonds are defined by the sharing of electrons between non-metals.

What is the mass of oxygen in 300 grams of carbonic acid (H2CO3)

DENIUS [597]

mass of carbonic acid = 300g

molar mass of H2CO3 = 2H + C + 3 O

= 2 x 1.008+ 12.01 + 3 x 16

= 62.03g/mol

moles of H2CO3 = mass/Molar mass

= 300/62.03

= 4.8364 moles

1 mole H2CO3 has 3 moles Oxygen

4.8364 moles H2CO3 contains

= 3 x 4.8364 moles Oxygen = 14.509 moles Oxygen

moles = mass/Molar mass

mass of oxygen = moles x Molar mass of Oxygen

= 14.509 x 16

= 232.15g Oxygen

mass of oxygen in 300g of carbonic acid(H2CO3) = 232.15g

The number of mole of a molecule is defined as its mass per molar mass. Using # mol = n, mass = m and molar mass = M and given t

Citrus2011 [14]

Given:
n = 0.0021 mol
M = 44 gram/mol

Required: m or the mass of the molecule

Solution:

M = m/n

Rearranging the expression,

m = M x n
m = 44 g/mol x 0.0021 mol

Evaluating the expression and cancelling units, we obtain,

m = 0.0924 grams

M is the molar mass. This value is very useful in chemistry calculations especially in calculating the amounts of reactants and products for a chemical reaction.

What is true about elements that are in the same column group or family

shusha [124]

The given question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Which is true of Elements on a periodic table in the same group (family)?

A; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of electron shells.

B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

C; Elements in the same family have few similar properties as they have different numbers of electron shells.

D; Elements in the same family are always the same type of Elements and have the same number of protons.

Answer: B; Elements in the same family have similar chemical properties because they have the same number of valence electrons.

Explanation:

Elements are distributed in groups and periods in a periodic table.

Elements that belong to same groups will show similar chemical properties because they have same number of valence electrons. The chemical reactivity of elements is governed by the valence electrons present in the element.

Example: Flourine, chlorine and bromine are elements which belong to Group 17. They have 9, 17 and 35 electrons respectively and contain 7 valence electrons each and need one electron to complete their octet.
