Answer: Biological Magnification

Explanation:

Organisms acquire toxic substance from the environment along with nutrients and water. Some of the toxins are metabolized and excreted, but others accumulate in specific tissues, especially fat. One of the reasons accumulated toxins are particularly harmful is that the become more concentrated in successive trophic level of the food web, this is the process of biological magnification.

Magnification occurs because the biomass at any given level is produced from a must larger biomass ingested from the level below. Thus the top-level carnivores tend to be the organism most severely affected by toxic compounds in the environment.

Examples of toxins that demonstrate biology magnification are chlorinated hydrocarbons, and many pesticides.

(4) Calculate the % of a compound that can be removed from liquid phase 1 by using ONE to FOUR extractions with a liquid phase 2
maksim [4K]

Answer:

One extraction: 50%

Two extractions: 75%

Three extractions: 87.5%

Four extractions: 93.75%

Explanation:

The following equation relates the fraction q of the compound left in volume V₁ of phase 1 that is extracted n times with volume V₂.

qⁿ = (V₁/(V₁ + KV₂))ⁿ

We also know that V₂ = 1/2(V₁) and K = 2, so these expressions can be substituted into the above equation:

qⁿ = (V₁/(V₁ + 2(1/2V₁))ⁿ = (V₁/(V₁ + V₁))ⁿ =  (V₁/(2V₁))ⁿ = (1/2)ⁿ

When n = 1, q = 1/2, so the fraction removed from phase 1 is also 1/2, or 50%.

When n = 2, q = (1/2)² = 1/4, so the fraction removed from phase 1 is (1 - 1/4) = 3/4 or 75%.

When n = 3, q = (1/2)³ = 1/8, so the fraction removed from phase 1 is (1 - 1/8) = 7/8 or 87.5%.

When n = 4, q = (1/2)⁴ = 1/16, so the fraction removed from phase 1 is (1 - 1/16) = 15/16 or 93.75%.

Pick the correct statement for the following isotope: a. 42Ca 42 is the mass number and 20 is the atomic number. b. 42 is the nu
kramer

Answer:

A

Explanation:

To label an element correctly using a combination of the symbol, mass number and atomic number furnishes some important information about the element.

We can obtain these information from the element provided that correct labeling of the element is presented. Firstly, after writing the symbol of the element, the atomic number is placed as a subscript on the left while the mass number of the atomic mass is placed as a superscript on the same left.

Looking at the question asked, we have the element symbol in the correct position as Ca, with 42 also in the correct position which is the mass number. The third number which is 20 is thus the atomic number of the element.
