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.

Write the balanced COMPLETE ionic equation for the reaction when
Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Ba²⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) + 2 Rb⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq) = Ba(OH)₂(s) + 2 Rb⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)

Explanation:

Let's consider the molecular equation between barium nitrate and rubidium hydroxide to produce barium hydroxide and rubidium nitrate.

Ba(NO₃)₂(aq) + 2 RbOH(aq) = Ba(OH)₂(s) + 2 RbNO₃(aq)

The complete ionic equation includes all the ions and the molecular species.

Ba²⁺(aq) + 2 NO₃⁻(aq) + 2 Rb⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq) = Ba(OH)₂(s) + 2 Rb⁺(aq) + 2NO₃⁻(aq)

How many grams of Co are needed to react with an excess of fe203 to produce 156.2 g FE? show your work.
Gekata [30.6K]

The reaction is given as

Fe2O3 (s)+ 3CO(g)--->3CO2(g)+ 2Fe(s)

No.of moles=mass in gram/molar mass

As for Fe mole =156.2g/55.847=2.7969~2.797

The ratio b/w CO and Fe is 3:2

Moles of CO needed= 2.797x3/2=4.1955

Mass of CO needed= 4.195mol x 28.01g/mol= 117.515g

Chlorine and bromine are elements in Group VII.
Goryan [66]

Explanation:

Bromine is a chemical element with the symbol Br and atomic number 35. It is the third-lightest halogen, and is a fuming red-brown liquid at room temperature that evaporates readily to form a similarly coloured vapour. Its properties are intermediate between those of chlorine and iodine. Isolated independently by two chemists, Carl Jacob Löwig (in 1825) and Antoine Jérôme Balard (in 1826), its name was derived from the Ancient Greek βρῶμος ("stench"), referring to its sharp and disagreeable smell.

Bromine, 35Br

AlCl3 + Na NaCl + Al Did Cl change oxidation number?
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Yes. If this is the balanced equation:

AlCl3 + 3Na —— 3NaCl + Al

then Al was reduced from a 3+ oxidation (to neutralize the 3- from the chlorine) to a 0 oxidation (elemental ground state).
