The black-footed ferret is a highly specialized predator that depends on prairie dogs for survival. Prairie dogs make up more th

an 90% of the black-footed ferret’s diet, and prairie dog burrows provide ferrets with dens to raise their young, as well as a means to escape from predators and harsh weather. Ferret habitat largely coincided with the habitats of the black-tailed prairie dog (C. ludovicianus), Gunnison’s prairie dog (C. gunnisoni), and the white-tailed prairie dog (C. leucurus). Despite significant recovery successes over the last decade, the black-footed ferret remains one of the most endangered animals in the world. Consider the status of the black-footed ferret. What is the MOST logical contributing factor to its endangered status?

Answer:

It is small and restricted within populations

Explanation:

The black-footed ferret (Mustela nigripes), also known as the American polecat or prairie dog hunter, is a species of mustelid native to central North America. It is listed as endangered by the IUCN, because of its very small and restricted populations. The species declined throughout the 20th century, primarily as a result of decreases in prairie dog populations and sylvatic plague. It was declared extinct in 1979 until Lucille Hogg's dog brought a dead black-footed ferret to her door in Meeteetse, Wyoming, in 1981.That remnant population of a few dozen ferrets lasted there until the animals were considered extinct in the wild in 1987. However, a captive-breeding program launched by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service resulted in its reintroduction into eight western US states, Canada, and Mexico from 1991 to 2009. Now, over 1,000 mature, wild-born individuals are in the wild across 18 populations, with five self-sustaining populations in South Dakota (two), Arizona, and Wyoming. It was first listed as "endangered" in 1982, then listed as "extinct in the wild" in 1996 before being downgraded back to "endangered" in 2008

A balloon filled with helium occupies 20.0 l at 1.50 atm and 25.0◦c. How many moles of helium will there be in the balloon at st
satela [25.4K]

Answer:

  • There will be 1.23 moles of helium in the balloon at STP

Explanation:

1) <u>Initial conditions of the helium gas</u>:

  • V = 20.0 liter
  • p = 1.50 atm
  • T = 25.0 °C = 25.0 + 273.15 K = 298.15 K

2) <u>Ideal gas equation</u>:

  • pV = n RT
  • p, V, and T are given above
  • R is the Universal constant = 0.0821 atm-liter / ( K - mol)
  • n is the unknown number of moles

3) <u>Solve for n</u>:

  • n = pV / (RT) =
  • n = 1.50 atm × 20.0 liter / (0.0821 atm-liter /k -mol ×298.15K)
  • n = 1.23 mol

4) <u>At STP:</u>

  • STP stands for standard pressure and temperature.
  • The amount (number of moles) of the gas will not change because the change of pressure and temperature, so the number of moles reamain the same: 1.23 mol.

How many grams of HCl(aq) are required to react completely with 1.25g of Zn(s) to form ZnCl2(aq) and H2
faltersainse [42]

1.39 g HCl

Explanation:

The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is given by

Zn(<em>s</em>) + 2HCl(<em>aq</em>) ---> ZnCl2(<em>aq</em>) + H2(<em>g</em>)

Convert the # of grams of Zn to moles:

1.25 g Zn × (1 mol Zn/65.38 g Zn) = 0.0191 mol Zn

Use the molar ratio to find the # of moles of HCl needed to react completely with the given amount of Zn:

0.0191 mol Zn × (2 mol HCl/1 mol Zn) = 0.0382 mol HCl

Convert this amount to grams:

0.0382 mol HCl × (36.458 g HCl/1 mol HCl) = 1.39 g HCl

Distinguish between mass and weight
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

There is a basic difference, because mass is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is measured in kg, gm, etc. Whereas weight is the force exerted by the gravity on that object mg. Note that mass is independent of everything but weight is different on the earth, moon, etc.
