Answer:

Invasive species, runoff pollution, and climate change.

Explanation:

Invasive species, such as Burmese pythons, threaten the Florida Everglades because they are not native to the natural habitat. Pythons eat the native animals, but they don't have any predators.

Pollution from nearby farms and roads enters the water and damages the ecosystem of the Everglades and Louisiana wetlands. Toxic chemicals lead to detrimental effects for both humans and wildlife.

Humans have drained swampy areas to allow for development. However, this has led to the Everglades drying up and even burning in recent years.

Answer:

Molarity of acid, Ca = Cb*Vb*A/Va*B

Explanation:

Using H2SO4 as acid, the reaction is as follow:

2NaOH + H2SO4 ⇒ Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Volume of acid = Va; Volume of base = Vb, Molar concentration of acid = Ca; Molar concentration of base = Cb; Molarity of acid = A and Molarity of base = B

Ca*Va/Cb*Vb =A/B

∴ Ca = Cb*Vb*A/Va*B

The gas SF6 is used to trace air flows because it is non-toxic and can be detected selectively in air at a concentration of 1.0

melomori [17]

SF₆ in the air at a concentration of 1.0 ppb, exerts a partial pressure of 1.0 × 10⁻⁹ atm. At this concentration, 2.3 × 10¹⁰ molecules of SF₆ are contained in 1.0 cm³ of air at 46 °C.

First, we will calculate the partial pressure of SF₆ using the following expression.

$pSF_6 = P \times \frac{ppb}{10^{9} }$

where,

pSF₆: partial pressure of SF₆

P: total pressure of air (we will assume it is 1 atm)

ppb: concentration of SF₆ in parts per billion

$pSF_6 = P \times \frac{ppb}{10^{9} } = 1 atm \times \frac{1.0 ppb}{10^{9} } = 1.0 \times 10^{-9} atm$

Then, we will convert 1.0 cm³ to L using the following conversion factors:

1 cm³ = 1 mL
1 L = 1000 mL

$1.0 cm^{3} \times \frac{1mL}{1cm^{3}} \times \frac{1L}{1000 mL} = 1.0 \times 10^{-3} L$

Next, we will convert 46 °C to Kelvin using the following expression.

$K = \° C + 273.15 = 46 + 273.15 = 319 K$

Afterward, we calculate the moles (n) of sulfur hexafluoride using the ideal gas equation.

$P \times V = n \times R \times T\\n = \frac{P \times V}{R \times T} = \frac{1.0 \times 10^{-9} atm \times 1.0 \times 10^{-3} L}{(0.082 atm.L/mol.K) \times 319 K} = 3.8 \times 10^{-14} mol$

Finally, we will convert 3.8 × 10⁻¹⁴ mol to molecules using Avogadro's number.

$3.8 \times 10^{-14} mol \times \frac{6.02 \times 10^{23} molecules }{mol} = 2.3 \times 10^{10} molecules$
