Based on ecological studies, the definitions below applies to the given terms:
- Peak phenomena: this is when a population grows at a fast rate, then quickly drops when the resources run out
- Biological surplus: this occurs when there are more organisms in a population than the ecosystem can sustain
- Climax community: this is a point in an ecosystem when all populations reach a point of little or no change
- Sigmoid phenomena: this is when a population increases while food and habitat are abundant and decreases as food becomes less available
<h3>What is ecology and what are some terms in ecology?</h3>
Ecology is the study of living things and their interactions with their environment.
Some terms in ecology include:
- Peak phenomena: this is when a population grows at a fast rate, then quickly drops when the resources run out
- Biological surplus: this occurs when there are more organisms in a population than the ecosystem can sustain
- Climax community: this is a point in an ecosystem when all populations reach a point of little or no change
- Sigmoid phenomena: this is when a population increases while food and habitat are abundant and decreases as food becomes less available

Answer:
ligmaballlschock3 on a cocktail
Explanation:
nalls
1 mole = 6.22 x 10^23 molecules (Avogadro's number)
15 moles x (6.22 x 10^23) = 9.33 x 10^24 atoms
The answer is B) gain 8 electrons
Answer:
pH = 3.3
Explanation:
Buffer solutions minimize changes in pH when quantities of acid or base are added into the mix. The typical buffer composition is a weak electrolyte (wk acid or weak base) plus the salt of the weak electrolyte. On addition of acid or base to the buffer solution, the solution chemistry functions to remove the acid or base by reacting with the components of the buffer to shift the equilibrium of the weak electrolyte left or right to remove the excess hydronium ions or hydroxide ions is a way that results in very little change in pH of the system. One should note that buffer solutions do not prevent changes in pH but minimize changes in pH. If enough acid or base is added the buffer chemistry can be destroyed.
In this problem, the weak electrolyte is HNO₂(aq) and the salt is KNO₂(aq). In equation, the buffer solution is 0.55M HNO₂ ⇄ H⁺ + 0.75M KNO₂⁻ . The potassium ion is a spectator ion and does not enter into determination of the pH of the solution. The object is to determine the hydronium ion concentration (H⁺) and apply to the expression pH = -log[H⁺].
Solution using the I.C.E. table:
HNO₂ ⇄ H⁺ + KNO₂⁻
C(i) 0.55M 0M 0.75M
ΔC -x +x +x
C(eq) 0.55M - x x 0.75M + x b/c [HNO₂] / Ka > 100, the x can be
dropped giving ...
≅0.55M x ≅0.75M
Ka = [H⁺][NO₂⁻]/[HNO₂] => [H⁺] = Ka · [HNO₂]/[NO₂⁻]
=> [H⁺] = 6.80x010⁻⁴(0.55) / (0.75) = 4.99 x 10⁻⁴M
pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(4.99 x 10⁻⁴) -(-3.3) = 3.3
Solution using the Henderson-Hasselbalch Equation:
pH = pKa + log[Base]/[Acid] = -log(Ka) + log[Base]/[Acid]
= -log(6.8 x 10⁻⁴) + log[(0.75M)/(0.55M)]
= -(-3.17) + 0.14 = 3.17 + 0.14 = 3.31 ≅ 3.3
