Answer:

142.36 kg

Explanation:

volume of water in the lake = surface area x depth

= 18.5 x ( 1760 x 3 )² x 39 ft³

= 2.011 x 10¹⁰ ft³

= 2.011 x 10¹⁰ x 28.3168 liter .

= 56.945 x 10¹⁰ liter .

concentration of mercury = .25 x 10⁻⁶ g / liter

= 25 x 10⁻⁸ g / liter

= 25 x 10⁻¹¹ kg / liter

mass of mercury in the water of lake

= 25 x 10⁻¹¹ x 56.945 x 10¹⁰ kg

= 142.36 kg .

Finger [1]
Not only for plants, but also for every organism and every life form nitrogen is important because  it poses as catalyst that supports different is chemical reactions of growth. N is filled with chlorophyll that actually gives you the answer on the question as chlorophyll allow plant to perform photosynthesis by absorbing energy from light that leads to the growth. So, it is important because it provides <span>photosynthesis.</span>

A tank of gas has partial pressures of nitrogen and oxygen equal to 1.61 × 104 kPa and 4.34 × 103 kPa , respectively.What is t
Alchen [17]

Answer:

20.44\times 10^3 kPa is the total pressure of the tank.

Explanation:

Partial pressures of nitrogen = p_{N_2}=1.61\times 10^4 kPa

Partial pressure of oxygen =  p_{O_2}=4.34\times 10^3 kPa

Total pressure of gases in the tank = P

Applying Dalton's law of partial pressures :

P=p_{N_2}+p_{O_2}=1.61\times 10^4 kPa+4.34\times 10^3 kPa

P=20.44\times 10^3 kPa

20.44\times 10^3 kPa is the total pressure of the tank.
