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.

How does changing the amount of one substance affect a mixtures identity and a compounds identity iscience?
pychu [463]

Explanation:

A compound is defined as follows.

  • Compounds are pure substance.
  • The atoms bonded in a compound are in specific proportion.
  • A compound is formed by chemical combination.
  • For a compound, melting point and boiling point is defined.

A mixture is defined as follows.

  • Mixtures are impure substance.
  • The bonded atoms in a mixture are in any proportion.
  • A mixture is formed by physical combination.
  • For a mixture, melting point and boiling point is not defined.

On changing the amount of one substance will affect the formation of compound as a compound requires atoms to be bonded in a specific proportion. Whereas changing the amount of one substance will not affect the formation of mixtures  as atoms can be bonded in any proportion in a mixture.

The molar mass of O2 is 32.0 g/mol.what mass,in grams,of O2 is required to react completely with 4.00 mol of Mg
Dahasolnce [82]
The balanced equation for the reaction between Mg and O₂ is as follows
2Mg + O₂ --> 2MgO
stoichiometry between Mg and O₂ is 2:1
number of Mg reacted - 4.00 mol
if 2 mol of Mg reacts with 1 mol of O₂
then 4.00 mol of Mg requires - 1/2 x 4.00 = 2.00 mol of O₂
then the mass of O₂ required - 2.00 mol x 32.0 g/mol = 64.0 g
64.0 g of O₂ is required for the reaction
