It seems more and more there are fewer conservation organizations who speak for the forest, and more that speak for the timber industry. Witness several recent commentaries in Oregon papers that are by no means unique. I’ve seen similar themes from other conservation groups across the West in recent years.
Many conservation groups have uncritically adopted views that support more logging of our public lands based upon increasingly disputed ideas about forest health and fire ecology, as well as the age-old bias against natural processes like wildfire and beetles.
For instance, an article in the Portland Oregonian quotes Oregon Wild’s executive director Sean Stevens bemoaning the closure of a timber mill in John Day Oregon. Stevens said: “Loss of the 29-year-old Malheur Lumber Co. mill would be ‘a sad turn of events’” Surprisingly, Oregon Wild is readily supporting federal subsidies to promote more logging on the Malheur National Forest to sustain the mill.
Answer:
1.15 atm
Explanation:
According to Dalton's law of partial pressures, the total pressure is the sum of all the partial pressures of the gases present in the mixture.
Therefore we have:
Total pressure = partial pressure of carbon monoxide + partial pressure of oxygen + partial pressure of carbon dioxide
We were given the following:
Total pressure = 2.45 atm
Pressure of oxygen = 0.65 atm
Pressure of carbon monoxide = x
Pressure of carbon dioxide = 0.65 atm
Therefore:
2.45 = x + 0.65 + 0.65
2.45 = x + 1.3
x = 2.45 - 1.3
x = 1.15 atm
An atom that has 13 protons and 15 neutrons is isotope of Aluminium (answer C)
<u><em>Explanation</em></u>
- Isotope is a form of the same element with the equal number of protons but difference number of neutrons in their nuclei.
- In other words isotope has the same atomic number but different mass number.
- Atomic number of a element is determined by number of protons of an element.
- from the periodic table Aluminum in atomic number 13 therefore it has 13 protons <em>therefore an atom that has 13 protons and 15 neutrons is a isotope of Aluminium. </em>
The answer is B. Equilibrium means a state in which opposing forces or influences are balanced.
